Daily peace of mind, without constant watching.
Beside Care turns your Ring cameras into a quiet care assistant. Three times a day, you'll receive a summary of what happened, written in plain language by AI. If something looks unusual, like no motion for hours or unsteady movement, you'll get an alert right away.

How Beside Care Works
AI-powered motion analysis that respects privacy while keeping you connected.
Connect your Ring cameras
Sign in with your Ring account and choose which cameras to monitor. No new hardware, no installation, setup takes a few minutes.
AI reviews motion clips
When your cameras detect motion, our AI watches a short clip and writes a plain-language summary. The video is processed in memory and immediately deleted, never stored.
Get summaries by email or SMS
Three times a day, overnight, midday, and evening, you'll receive a digest summarizing what happened. Each summary includes the key moments and any concerns worth noting.
Know when something's off
Our system learns your loved one's daily patterns. If there's an unusual stretch of quiet, like no motion by mid-morning when they're usually up, you'll get a gentle alert.
No Video Storage
We don't keep your footage, we only store summaries and activity notes.Video Only When You Choose
Live View and clip review are optional, never running in the background.Summaries First
Most days, a calm digest is all you need.
Designed for trust and dignity
Traditional cameras feel like surveillance. Beside Care feels like a safety net. We built this because we believe aging should be dignified.
Care with dignity
Your loved one maintains their privacy and independence, while you get the reassurance you need.
Context when it matters
When something is flagged, you can review the specific moment in your Ring app. See exactly what happened, with the AI summary right alongside it.
Peace of mind
Stop refreshing camera feeds hoping to catch something. Beside Care watches quietly and only speaks up when there's something worth knowing.
We don't watch. We understand.
Building trust starts with absolute privacy. We designed our entire architecture to ensure that your loved one's home remains a private sanctuary, not a monitored facility.
Live View is optional
Live video is available only when you tap to open it. Beside Care never drops in, never watches in the background, and our team has no access to your Live View.
No video stored
We don't store or archive footage. When a clip is reviewed for context, it's accessed from Ring, processed in memory by AI, then immediately deleted.
Summaries by default
We store text summaries and flagged event data, and we link you back to the specific moment if you want to review it. We don't keep the video.
You are in control
Choose what gets summarized, what gets flagged, and when you receive updates. Turn Live View access on or off anytime.
Simple, human-readable updates
Forget scrubbing through timelines or watching hours of footage. Beside Care translates motion activity into simple sentences.
