Dangerous Animal Alert
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dangerous Animal Alert is a calm awareness app for pet owners. It watches the outdoor camera you already own and lets you know when wild animals like coyotes, bears, and bobcats appear in view, so you can decide whether to bring a cat or small dog inside. WHAT IT DOES Link your account, pick your outdoor cameras, and choose which animals you want to hear about. When one is spotted in a motion event, you get one calm notification with the species and a snapshot. ANIMALS YOU CAN FOLLOW Coyote, bear, mountain lion, bobcat, alligator, snake, birds of prey - plus optional deer, raccoon, and fox sightings if you want them. CALM BY DESIGN No sirens, no red banners. One notification, the species, a snapshot, and an optional reminder line you can turn off. AN AWARENESS TOOL, NOT A SAFETY DEVICE Detections may be delayed, missed, or inaccurate. Dangerous Animal Alert is not a substitute for your own supervision or judgment. COMPATIBILITY Works with Ring cameras and video doorbells. Requires an account with at least one outdoor camera. Ring is a trademark of its respective owner. Dangerous Animal Alert is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Ring or Amazon.
