Understanding Alexa Guard

Alexa Guard is Ring's name for AI features that enhance your compatible Ring devices. The features in Alexa Guard offer different settings and functionality from original Alexa and Alexa+ features. Alexa features and capabilities, such as asking for weather, setting timers, and seeking general information, are not supported through Ring devices or Alexa Guard features. Unless specified otherwise, an Alexa device is not needed to power Ring-specific features.

Alexa Guard powers the following Ring AI features:

  • Familiar Faces
  • Video Search
  • Video Descriptions
  • Single Event Alert
  • Unusual Event Alert

Other integrated Ring-Alexa features

Some optional Ring features allow you to connect your Ring and Amazon accounts. For example, Alexa+ Greetings allows your doorbell to use Alexa+ capabilities to handle guests and deliveries. Learn how to use Alexa+ Greetings.


Managing your data

Alexa Guard features are provided by Ring, and you can manage those features and your Ring data, including videos and device information, by visiting your Ring account settings in the Ring app or on ring.com. Learn about managing your Ring account and privacy settings.
