Ring’s new feature combats security camera notification fatigue

Ring is introducing a new AI-powered feature that consolidates multiple alerts from a camera about a single event into one notification. Single Event Alert is launching on November 6th and is designed to reduce the barrage of notifications from a video doorbell or camera.

Building on Ring’s AI Video Descriptions that send a summary of what the camera sees, Single Event Alert analyzes the generated summaries and intelligently groups multiple motion alerts from the same event into a single notification. For example, if kids are playing in the backyard, you’ll receive one notification for the same type of motion.

The feature is now in beta for Ring Home Premium subscribers in the US and Canada. It joins Video Descriptions and Smart Video Search, which are also part of the $20 monthly service.
