As per reports from The Verge, the new feature will work
with video doorbells and security cameras from Ring, Google Nest, and Abode,
with more brands potentially adding the ability owing to a new API from Amazon.
Amazon claimed that person detection announcements are
rolling out to all Ring video doorbells and cameras, and will be soon coming to
the Google Nest Cam Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Floodlight, Nest
Doorbell, Abode IOTA, and Abode Outdoor Camera.
There has also been an addition of the 'Alexa Routine'
setup, based on the new detection features, where users are provided with
features such as turning on a porch light, controlling a smart lock, or
spotting a potential intruder.
To turn the feature on, one needs to have a person or
package detection enabled on their compatible camera, and then go into the
Alexa app and navigate to the camera or doorbell settings. There, one can see a
new section called 'Camera Events,' where you can enable either or both options
as well as customise the settings.
