Ring Unveils a New Generation of Smarter, More Connected Security at CES 2026
By Ring on January 6, 2026
At Ring, we’re focused on building security solutions that are smarter, more connected, and easier to use—whether you’re protecting a single room, a vehicle on the go, or an entire jobsite. This year at CES, Ring is introducing a new generation of devices and AI-powered features designed to deliver clearer awareness, stronger reliability, and meaningful insights wherever they're needed. From always-on sensors powered by Amazon Sidewalk to advanced mobile security for businesses to intelligent alerts that adapt to your routines, these innovations reflect our commitment to making security more accessible and more effective for everyone.
New AI Features That Make Alerts More Personal, Helpful, and Timely
Ring is introducing AI Unusual Event Alert and Active Warnings, two new intelligent features designed to help you prioritize what matters most and prevent incidents before they happen.
AI Unusual Event Alert identifies and alerts you to activity around your home that may be out of the ordinary. By using Ring Video Descriptions, this new feature learns and adapts to everyday routine patterns at your property, and so you’re notified only when something unusual occurs, minimizing unnecessary alerts.
Because every home is different, what counts as “unusual” is unique to each camera. For example, if a pack of coyotes appears in your yard—and that’s not something you normally see—the feature would recognize that activity as unusual and alert you.
Active Warnings combines Video Descriptions with automated, context-aware audio warnings to help deter potential threats in real time. When a camera detects a person, advanced computer vision analyzes the situation and delivers specific warnings based on details like location and actions. For customers enrolled in Virtual Security Guard, Active Warnings offers a speedy deterrent message while an agent reviews the event. Customers can also customize which cameras activate warnings in each system mode—Away, Home, or Disarmed.
AI Unusual Event Alert and Active Warnings will be available later this month to customers with a compatible Ring subscription plan and Video Descriptions enabled (excluding IL).

Sidewalk Expanding Globally
Customers have been enjoying the benefits of Amazon Sidewalk in the US, and we’re excited to bring this shared neighborhood network to our customers globally. As a first step, Sidewalk and Ring Sensors will be launching in Canada and Mexico in the coming months. We plan to expand to other regions, including the EU, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan later this year. We’re looking forward to expanding Sidewalk and sharing helpful information with customers about how Sidewalk works and enables better coverage and range for devices, as well as options available to them.
Mobile, Reliable, and Ready: The Next Evolution of Jobsite Security
With versatile power options and connectivity that works virtually anywhere, Ring’s Jobsite portfolio, which includes Ring Cameras, Ring Sensors, and the all-new Ring Mobile Security Trailer, brings professional, flexible security to construction sites, parking lots, outdoor event venues, and everywhere in between. Designed to work seamlessly with the full lineup of Ring cameras, these new solutions make it easy to build reliable security for any site. Outdoor solar cameras integrate effortlessly into open-air environments, providing flexible protection where power may be limited.
Ring Mobile Security Trailer: Powerful Protection, Anywhere
The all-new Ring Mobile Security Trailer delivers enterprise-grade visibility and protection in a highly portable form factor. Featuring Ring Elite 360° with Ring Vision 4K, the trailer supports both line power with built-in battery backup and fully off-grid solar operation, along with built-in LTE connectivity—no external infrastructure required (with a compatible Ring subscription).
Designed for fast, flexible deployment, the Mobile Security Trailer can be used on a trailer, in a truck bed, or as a standalone unit. It also supports professional monitoring and advanced AI-powered security insights with a compatible Ring subscription, making it an ideal solution for temporary, remote, or rapidly changing sites.
Ring Mobile Security Trailer will be available for purchase this spring.
Ring Elite: Scalable, Enterprise-Grade Coverage
Built for large and complex environments, Ring Elite provides flexible, enterprise-ready configurations designed to meet a wide range of security needs. Available in Retinal 4K and four configurations with fields of view ranging from 140° to a full 360°, Ring Elite helps eliminate blind spots and deliver comprehensive visibility across entire properties.
By reducing the number of devices needed to cover expansive areas, Ring Elite simplifies deployments, lowers infrastructure requirements, and supports consistent coverage across sites, making it well suited for campuses, logistics yards, parking facilities, and other large-scale environments.
Ring Elite will be available for purchase this spring.
The Ring Appstore
The Ring Appstore is a new offering that provides customers increased value by expanding the benefits of their existing Ring videos, Live Views, and other data through integration with third-party apps. The Ring Appstore is available directly in the Ring app or at Ring.com for U.S. customers with a compatible Ring subscription (certain apps may also require a third-party subscription and account linking). In the coming weeks, customers will be able to browse a growing selection of third-party applications designed to help you get more value from your Ring cameras.
Apps in the Appstore are built by third-party developers and focus on specific use cases, from small business operations to everyday needs around the home. Together, these apps help turn cameras into tools that provide timely alerts and actionable insights. Learn more about Ring Appstore here.
Fire Watch
Ring and Watch Duty announced Fire Watch, a powerful new feature in the Neighbors section of the Ring app designed to give communities and fire responders earlier warnings and real-time, ground-truth information during fast-moving fire events. Read more about Fire Watch here.
Smarter smoke and CO protection, powered by Ring and Kidde
Together with Kidde, we’re introducing a battery-powered Smart Smoke Alarm and Smart Combination Alarm (Smoke + CO) with Ring technology built in—including Remote Silence, a new feature that lets customers mute the alarm directly from the Ring app. With an optional 24/7 Smoke & CO Monitoring subscription, professionally trained agents can respond the moment an alarm sounds, request emergency assistance when needed, and notify a customer’s designated emergency contacts for added peace of mind—giving customers a smarter way to protect their homes from anywhere.
Smart Smoke Alarm and Smart Combination Alarm are available for pre-order today.
