If you have ever lost a dog, it can be stressful. You drive up and down the neighborhood calling out its name while your wife stares daggers at you for leaving the gate open. Okay, I might have shared too much. 

Well next time you find yourself in this situation, log on to the Ring Doorbell site and get some help. 

Unlocking the Power of Search Party

Search Party is something people with Ring Doorbells can activate that allows an AI program to scan doorbell footage. It will look for animals running loose on the street out front and notify the homeowner that someone is looking for the animal. 

Even people who don’t have one of the camera doorbells can log on and ask for help from those who do. You can describe what kind of dog it is and its age, and coloring. The program starts searching available cameras in the area.

If it locates your dog, it sends a picture or video to the owner of the Ring camera and lets them know one of their neighbors is looking for this dog. The owner then has the option to forward the information, or they can ignore the prompt.
