With Ring facing fierce backlash over its Search Party feature, a new program is challenging developers to move Ring doorbell footage off of Amazon's cloud - and into users' own devices. The Fulu Foundation, the consumer advocacy group cofounded by YouTuber Louis Rossmann, is offering an initial bounty of $10,000 to anyone who can integrate Ring doorbells with a local PC or server, while cutting off access to Amazon's servers.

Jamie Siminoff founded Ring, a video doorbell and home security company. He prefers the title chief inventor rather than CEO. He published a book titled Ding-Dong: How Ring Went from Shark Tank Reject to Everyone's Front Door. And I have to admit that it is a great title for a doorbell company.

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.

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.
