Overview
- Fire Watch will notify nearby users of active wildfires and lets opt‑in camera owners share snapshots or live video for up to 24 hours, with Watch Duty curating what appears in its feed and availability slated for spring.
- Eligible outdoor cameras will run AI smoke and flame detection during an active incident, sending alerts to subscribers with Ring Protect.
- A new lineup of Amazon Sidewalk–enabled sensors and controls ships in March, including door and window sensors, motion and glass‑break detectors, smoke and CO listeners, flood and freeze sensors, air‑quality monitors, smart plugs and switches, and a GPS car alarm.
- Ring is adding an in‑app Appstore in the U.S. and rolling out AI Unusual Event Alerts and Active Warnings later this month for compatible subscription plans, with some features unavailable in Illinois.
- Ring donated $1 million to Watch Duty and plans Sidewalk expansion to Canada and Mexico this year with broader rollout later in 2026, while unveiling a Mobile Security Trailer targeting businesses for about $5,000 this spring and facing renewed privacy scrutiny over data sharing and facial recognition limits.
