Ring cameras are getting an AI upgrade that can tell you what’s happening at your front door, as well as show you.
Video Descriptions is a new feature that generates text descriptions of the motion activity on Ring doorbells and cameras.
Siminoff says Ring plans to use Video Descriptions to power more proactive home security features, including combining multiple motion alerts into one alert and, more ambitiously, to develop custom anomaly alerts.
With Video Descriptions enabled, you’ll get a more detailed description of the activity the camera saw, along with a thumbnail of the action.
Wyze also offers them, under the moniker Descriptive Alerts, and recently launched a No Big Deal filter that filters out all alerts other than those it deems high-priority.
