Ring and Alexa: Smarter Protection, Working Together

By Ring on January 14, 2026

Ring’s security expertise is ushering in a new era of proactive home protection. Ring AI Pro is now powered by Alexa Guard—with world class AI transforming home security from passive recording to an intelligent system that actively helps protect what matters most.

With Alexa Guard, your Ring cameras don't just record—they understand. They recognize patterns, learn what's normal for your home, and alert you to what matters. Alexa Guard gives customers:

  • AI Video Descriptions - AI-powered text descriptions of motion events, so you know what happened at a glance*
  • Familiar Faces - Your 2K and 4K cameras can recognize and identify people who visit often.*
  • Single Event Alert - Similar motion grouped into one alert instead of multiple notifications.*
  • Unusual Event Alert - Your camera learns what’s normal and only alerts you when something unexpected
    happens.*
  • Smart Video Search - Search through up to 180 days of footage by typing what you’re looking for.*
  • This is the difference between passive monitoring and active protection—a system that understands context, anticipates needs, and takes action when it matters most.

    Why Alexa Guard Matters

    Home security is personal and unique to every home. Customers want clarity, trust, and confidence that their cameras are always working on their behalf. That’s exactly what Alexa Guard is designed to deliver—enabling features customers can use today, while laying the groundwork for future innovations.

    The name “Guard” reflects its core promise: continuous, intelligent monitoring that understands your home's unique patterns. It’s not just a singular feature—it’s a dedicated, AI-powered security experience built to work quietly in the background across enrolled Ring devices, so you don’t have to constantly check alerts or footage.

    A Smarter Foundation for What’s Next

    Ring AI Pro, powered by Alexa Guard, launches with powerful capabilities today—and a flexible foundation built for what’s next. By uniting Ring’s security expertise with Alexa’s intelligence, Alexa Guard delivers a smarter, more proactive approach to protecting what matters most.
