Ring is today announcing Single Event Alert, the companyΓÇÖs new approach to
cutting down on unnecessary notifications. Rather than a ping every time the
camera watches something unfold, the system uses generative AI to group
recurring events together.

Historically, whenever your Ring camera detected something happening in its
field of vision, itΓÇÖd let you know. Hell, in the earliest days of RingΓÇÖs
doorbells, youΓÇÖd get a little tinkling motion alert even if a sufficiently
big truck went past your door enough to change the light levels.

The company uses the example of your kids playing in the back yard, which
would previously trigger an alert every time it detected motion. Now, once
itΓÇÖs identified that itΓÇÖs just your kids playing, itΓÇÖll tell you once
and then let you get back to whatever else you were doing.

This is the latest in a series of turns toward AI Ring has enabled in the
last year or so, including Smart Video Search and AI Video Descriptions. Like
those features, Single Event Alert is rolling out to Ring Protect Home
subscribers in the US (except IL) and Canada from today.
