Ring Launches AI-Powered Smart Video Search for Enhanced Security Footage Review

The new feature allows users to search recorded footage using natural language queries, offering a more intuitive way to locate specific events.

Ring's Smart Video Search is now available in beta for US users with the Ring Protect Pro plan, priced at $19.99 per month.
The AI feature enables searches for specific events in video history, such as animals, vehicles, and people, using natural language.
While the tool improves footage review, it has limitations, including misidentifications and restrictions on certain sensitive search terms.
The feature is opt-in and not compatible with end-to-end encrypted videos, though Ring is working to address this limitation.
Ring's shift in marketing strategy focuses on reducing anxiety and providing users with detailed insights into daily activities.
