Ring has revealed a new AI-powered feature called Smart Video Search that’s currently being tested in public beta. The goal is to make it easier than ever to find specific moments in your video history by allowing you to enter a text description of an event, which will then be used to scour your motion events for a clip that matches your input.
Smart Video Search uses a combination of Ring AI and Visual Language Modeling (VLM) to quickly search your video history based on a text description. For example, if you search for “red bicycle in the driveway,” your Ring app will automatically pull up any clips that feature — you guessed it — a red bike in your driveway.
Ring says the feature can search for anything related to “animals, locations, packages, people, time, vehicles, weather, and even activities like jumping, running, playing, or riding.”
Essentially, it should be easier than ever to find a specific clip. Gone are the days of scrolling through hundreds of motion events. Instead, you can just type in a description of the event and get a list of matches.
That’s an impressive feature, and it sounds like Ring is taking its time to make sure it’s working properly before rolling it out to the masses. Smart Video Search will first be available to select customers in public beta as of today.
On November 5, you’ll find Smart Video Search available to Ring Home Premium subscribers for $20 per month. The feature will work across all Ring video doorbells and cameras.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
