""I believe that the foundation we created with Search Party, first for finding dogs, will end up becoming one of the most important pieces of tech and innovation to truly unlock the impact of our mission," Siminoff wrote in an email to staffers. "You can now see a future where we are able to zero out crime in neighborhoods. So many things to do to get there but for the first time ever we have the chance to fully complete what we started.""
"One of those things could be the recently-launched "Familiar Faces" tool, which uses facial recognition to identify people that wander into the frame of a Ring camera. It seems to me that a combination of the Search Party tech, which uses the combined might of connected Ring cameras, with the Familiar Faces tech could make for a very powerful surveillance tool that excels at finding specific individuals."
Ring CEO Jamie Siminoff suggested that Search Party, initially aimed at finding lost dogs, could become a foundational technology for the company’s mission. Siminoff envisioned a future in which the technology helps "zero out crime in neighborhoods" and indicated further innovations are planned. The Familiar Faces feature uses facial recognition to identify people appearing in Ring camera frames. Combining Search Party’s networked-camera aggregation with Familiar Faces could enable precise identification and tracking of individuals across cameras. Community Requests allows law enforcement to request footage from camera owners, raising significant privacy and surveillance concerns.
