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.

According to Flock's announcement, its Ring partnership allows local law enforcement members to use Flock software "to send a direct post in the Ring Neighbors app with details about the investigation and request voluntary assistance." Requests must include "specific location and timeframe of the incident, a unique investigation code, and details about what is being investigated," and users can look at the requests anonymously, Flock said.

Ring has once again started letting police request footage from users through its partnership with Axon, a move that reverses its previous decision to limit sharing.
