Ring Doorbells Introduce Familiar Faces Feature for Personalised Alerts
# Ring Doorbells Get Smart Upgrade with Familiar Faces Feature
## Camera Notifications Made Personalised
Ring Doorbells are introducing an innovative upgrade known as Familiar Faces, a feature that enhances user notifications. As part of this update, cameras will begin recognizing familiar individuals, allowing for a more tailored alert system. This new functionality is being rolled out today, improving the way homeowners interact with their surveillance systems.
With the Familiar Faces feature, users will receive alerts that identify known individuals rather than generic notifications. "Wouldn't it be helpful if, instead of getting a generic alert, you received a personalised notification like," said Amazon, illustrating the upgrade's focus on individual recognition. This means homeowners can stay informed about who is at the door without having to check the app each time. "without even needing to open the app?," Amazon added.
One of the key aspects of the Familiar Faces feature is its emphasis on privacy and control. According to Amazon, "Like all Ring features, privacy and control are built into the core of Familiar Faces. The feature is off by default and only activates when you choose to turn it on," ensuring that users can decide how their data is used. This option provides peace of mind for users concerned about privacy while still benefiting from enhanced functionality.
