If you have a ring protection camera or doorbell, there is good news – you can now get notes generated on your phone generated and describe exactly what happens before you have watched the video.
Each report contains a short fragment of text describing what the motion detection has activated, so that you can decide whether it needs your attention or not at a glance before you spend the app and the app opens.
The reports are designed to be as concise as possible, aimed at the person, the animal or the object that moves and what they do.
Video -descriptions work with all ring video bubbles and cameras and have been rolled out from today to Rings and Canada in the US (International Releas Data still have to be announced). For more information about ring memberships and prices Our complete guide for ring subscriptions.
This is not the first time that Ring AI has used to describe what is going on in your video clips. The company was launched earlier this year Smart Video search assignmentWith which you can use natural language to search for specific events that are recorded by your doorbell or camera, so that you don’t have to spend time by scrubbing images to find a certain moment.
Have you seen anything?
Ring’s video descriptions (as the position is officially known) sound like a welcome addition to those of the company Best Video Bells And Best home security camerasAnd I look forward to testing them for themselves to see how accurate they are.
In 2023 my colleague Lance Ulanoff tested a security camera that promised to give AI-generated reports based on analysis of a single video frame. The PSYNC Camera Genie S Is compact and cute looking, with functions including object tracking, but the Chat GPT-driven descriptions were often wide of the goal.
During testing, the camera produced a flood of reports, which were often comically inaccurate. Although it could usually detect people, it would often say they wore something that they were not, and as soon as the camera claimed that a whole family was around an empty dining table. The PsyNC software also hallucinated a motorcycle that is visible in a closed shed and a child who plays in an abandoned garden.
Two years is a long time in technology, so I am careful that the smart descriptions of the ring will be much more accurate than that.
