Alexa+ can greet your visitors on Ring’s latest video doorbells
Who is going? With his latest video doorbell, Ring enlisted Alexa + to salute your visitors, instruct the delivery staff on the place where to leave packages and even grant personalized welcome to the people he recognizes.
Amazon announced the new “Alexa + Greetings” feature at his big fall event in New York today, where he showed a series of new Ring cameras, including four that can capture video in 4K, a first for ring – as well as another feature fueled by AI which can help find pets.
The new ring cameras include the Wired Doorbell Pro Ring ($ 249.99), the Spotlight Cam Pro ($ 249.99), the Floodlight Cam Pro ($ 279.99) and the Outdoor Cam Pro ($ 199.99). These four cameras have video technology improved by Ai-Ring Retinat Vision 4K, which increases the quality of the video through a two-week calibration process while offering a 10x zoom and “improved” performance in low light, says Ring.
The wired video sonnets are also new ($ 179.99) and the more interior cam ($ 59.99), which both offer a 2K annual retinacy resolution.
Finally, Ring made its debut on three models of power on floor (POE), including the wired door bell ($ 499.99) and the variants of the previously mentioned and exterior CAM PRO ($ 349.98 and $ 2998, respectively).

To be clear, Alexa’s ability to salute visitors is not so new – the Alexa Greetings original function made its debut in 2021 – but this older function was based on preserves programmed on your door bell. With Alexa + Greetings, it is the Alexa’s Ai-Rised version that speaks to those who ring your ringed, which means that it is able to strive from front to back with visitors because they determine who they are and what they need.
Coupled with Alexa + Greetings is familiar faces, a ring function that allows your doorbell to recognize friends, dear beings and frequent visitors for more personalized greetings, as well as allow Alexa + to offer more detailed notifications or filter the alerts according to who he sees. Ring plays catching up with regard to “familiar” features, as Google Nest Cam owners with Google with Nest Aware have been using functionality for several years.
Ring also announced on Tuesday a new new feature fueled by AI at the Amazon New York event: research party, which Ring calls a “community functionality” that helps animal owners find missing fur friends.
Starting first with dogs and planning to add cats and other pets in the coming months, Search Party starts when a neighbor reports a dog lost via the neighbor’s application. When this happens, other local Ring cameras in the region can reach the research part, the help of locating the capricious dog. If your ring camera spots what he believes to be the missing pet, you will get an alert with a photo of the dog, who (if you wish), you can transmit to the owner of the animal.
All the new Ring cameras are available in pre-order now, with a research part that should arrive in November; Alexa + Greetings and familiar faces will be deployed in December.
