{"title": "Ring Opens AI Pet Recovery Feature to Everyone, Beyond Just Device Owners", "body": ["About two months back, Ring introduced an artificial intelligence feature enabling device owners to collaborate in locating lost dogs. The company now announces that individuals without Ring hardware can also utilize this tool to seek assistance for a stray pet." , "Found in the Neighbors area of the Ring application, the Search Party for Dogs option allows users to submit reports of missing canines, with the firm indicating future expansions to include felines and additional animals. Submitting such a report initiates a Search Party, prompting surrounding Ring devices to monitor for the escaped animal." , "In the past, initiating Search Parties was limited to those possessing Ring equipment, but the update permits non-owners to access the application and declare a lost dog." , "\"Prior to Search Party, options were limited to patrolling local streets and calling out for the pet in the hope of spotting it,\" stated Ring creator Jamie Siminoff in an official announcement. \"Today, animal guardians can rally local support, and neighborhoods gain the means to assist, enhancing the efficiency of reuniting pets with their families like never before. This accessibility for posting lost dog alerts in Neighbors is why we prioritize broadening the tool's reach.\""], "Ring's Search Party employs artificial intelligence to examine video from adjacent Ring units for signs of the absent dog.", ["Should a Ring outdoor camera detect a possible sighting—note that interior models do not participate—users receive notifications featuring an image of the animal along with pertinent footage segments. Owners may then opt to forward these clips to the reporting party or initiate contact if they believe it's a fit." , "The Search Party activation has drawn scrutiny due to its automatic enabling, akin to the more debated Community Requests option, which permits police to solicit footage from Ring subscribers." , "Users have the ability to disable both Search Party and Community Requests, and the company emphasizes that even with them active, individuals control video sharing decisions. Alerts from these services can also be dismissed without response." , "To disable Search Party, launch the Ring app, select the Menu icon, navigate to Community Control, and choose Search Party followed by Search for Lost Pets. From there, full deactivation or exclusion of specific cameras from searches is possible."]}
