The Amazon-owned home-surveillance business will offer users the ability to search footage for specific objects and actions. WIRED gave it a try.

Historically, the latter option required her to tediously swipe through a video timeline in Ring’s app to identify if and when the box was picked up and by whom. But in recent weeks, Hamren has been able to let AI do the searching. She types “package today” into the app and right away can see the clip of her husband completing his duty, assuming he has.

tested the feature over the past few days. It couldn’t help answer the recurring question in our home: “Did you remember to lock the door?” But searches for “dog pooping,” “gardeners,” and “rollerblading” brought up mostly accurate results. Hamren, who also oversees three other Amazon home technology units, says Ring blocks searches for content it considers “offensive, inappropriate, or harmful.

’s tests, Ring’s search worked decently well on queries including “backpack,” “scarf,” “speeding cars,” “ice cream truck,” and “shopping cart.” But for many searches, the results were filled with understandable misidentifications. The software interpreted headlights bursting into view from turning cars as “fireworks.” “Blonde women” delivered people fitting the description but also golden retrievers. To the AI, anyone with a hand near their face seemed to be “smoking.

couldn’t get Smart Video Search to spot the name of a football team on a shirt, because the feature doesn't directly recognize text. What we found most striking about the search tool is the simultaneous creepiness and serendipity of being able to know what’s going on during the long stretches during which there isn’t a reason to proactively review footage. We found ourselves with deep insight into the various ways a particular dog relieves himself.
