Ring brings its ‘Search Party’ feature for finding lost dogs to non-Ring camera owners

Ring has expanded its AI-powered “Search Party” feature, designed to help find lost dogs by scanning footage from a network of cameras, to all U.S. users of the Ring app—not just those who own Ring cameras. When a lost dog is reported in the app, nearby outdoor cameras use AI to identify potential matches. If a match is found, the camera owner receives an alert and can share video clips or contact the pet owner anonymously. Since its launch, Search Party has successfully reunited more than one dog per day. In addition to broadening access, Amazon-owned Ring is committing $1 million to equip 4,000 U.S. animal shelters with Ring camera systems, integrating them into the Search Party network to increase the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners. Ring already collaborates with nonprofits such as Petco Love and Best Friends Animal Society and is open to further partnerships to enhance its pet recovery efforts. This expansion aims to mobilize entire communities in the search for lost pets
