Ring brings its 'Search Party' feature for finding lost dogs to non-Ring camera owners | TechCrunch
"When a neighbor reports a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby outdoor cameras use AI to scan for possible matches. If a match is found, that camera owner receives an alert and can optionally choose to share any related video clips with their neighbor who reported the pet missing. They'll also have an option to call the owner or send them a message, without sharing their own phone number."
""Now, pet owners can mobilize the whole community-and communities are empowered to help-to find lost pets more effectively than ever before," noted Ring founder Jamie Siminoff, in an announcement. "That's why we believe it's so important to make this feature available to anyone who shares a lost dog post in Neighbors," he added, referring to the company's Neighbors app for Ring customers."
Ring's AI-powered Search Party mobilizes networked cameras to locate lost dogs when a neighbor reports a missing pet in the Ring app. Nearby outdoor Ring cameras use AI to scan for possible matches and notify camera owners if a match appears, allowing owners to optionally share related video clips. Camera owners can contact the pet owner via call or message through the app without exposing their phone number. Search Party has reunited more than one dog per day since launch and is now accessible to all U.S. users. Ring commits $1 million to equip up to 4,000 U.S. animal shelters with camera systems and continues partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
