Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Ring unveiled its “Search Party” feature during Super Bowl LX, which uses neighborhood doorbell cameras and AI to help find missing pets.<\/p>\n

CAMP HILL, Pa. \u2014 Ring’s new Super Bowl commercial is drawing the attention of cybersecurity experts after the company unveiled its new AI-powered dog tracking tool. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, the company promoted its “Search Party” feature on its app. The feature would connect with neighboring doorbell cameras and use AI to track down missing pets. <\/p>\n

While the service promises to help families, Scott Davis, the president of the Cybersecurity Association of Pennsylvania, believes the feature can pose data privacy risks. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce your information is on the internet, it’s there for acquisition through whatever usage that company deems appropriate,” Davis said. <\/p>\n

Davis also expressed concerns about neighborhood surveillance expanding beyond the scope of the service. He said doorbell camera data could be provided to police departments to help aid in investigations. <\/p>\n

\u201c[Doorbell cameras] helps solve crimes faster, but it should be built on consent,” he said. <\/p>\n

In Camp Hill, the borough police department has a doorbell camera registration program to help officers solve local crimes. Police Chief Stephen Margeson said the program helped contribute to solving a series of car break-ins in 2025. <\/p>\n

“We got multiple views of both still and video footage of the thieves doing this, and we think it contributed to their eventual arrest and capture in a joining township,” Margeson said. <\/p>\n

Margeson assured residents that the program is voluntary, and that police will ask homeowners before they use any security video in an investigation. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have access to it unless they give us access to it. So, it\u2019s not like we can initiate retrieving any video surveillance from a Ring doorbell or any other private security system,” he said. <\/p>\n

Cybersecurity experts say people should read their doorbell camera\u2019s terms of service in order to understand how their data will be used by their provider. <\/p>\n

\u201cKnow how your data will be used, know where your data is going to be stored and, most importantly, be comfortable with that,” Davis said. <\/p>\n
