MELD vs BarkGuard

MELD uses computer vision and behavioral models to interpret subtle signals most owners miss.

Leaving your dog home alone is hard. Wondering if they are sleeping, anxious, or barking at every passing car shouldn't be. BarkGuard connects to your existing Ring camera and quietly watches over your dog throughout the day. When something happens, it doesn't just send a generic motion alert — it tells you what your dog is doing and why. KEY FEATURES • Live state at a glance — Resting peacefully / Active right now / Awake. • Smart alerts that mean something — BarkGuard's AI tells you Rex is reacting to a person at the door or Just a passing car, Rex is calm. • Spot patterns that matter — alert moments (likely barking bursts), peak active hours, sleep cycles. • Visual context — see the snapshot from the moment it happened. Stored privately for 30 days, never shared. • No new hardware. Works with the Ring camera you already own. PRIVACY FIRST We do not record audio.
