YardWild turns your Ring outdoor cameras into a backyard wildlife watcher. Every motion at 2 a.m. becomes a named visitor — fox, deer, raccoon — quietly building a living journal of your yard.
No new hardware. No new camera. Just the Ring you already own, taught to look for wonder.
One tap through Ring's official secure sign-in. Pick which outdoor cameras to watch. No new hardware, ever.
A fox crosses the lawn at 2 a.m. YardWild grabs the frame, discards anything human, and runs science-grade species identification.
Every visitor joins your timeline, your species collection, and your yard's own biodiversity score.
All from the cameras already on your house.
AI species ID with confidence scores. Conservative, science-grade labels that fall back to family level when night-vision is ambiguous.
A daily timeline per camera, a species library with badges, a biodiversity score, plus IUCN Red List status and short field notes.
All sightings or notable-only, with quiet hours and a weekly or monthly digest.
Every species gets its own page: what it is, whether the IUCN lists it as threatened, and every time it has visited your yard.
"A camera that finally looks at the wildlife — and looks away from you."
Any frame containing a person is discarded before species identification and is never stored — not just frames that contain only people.
No location tracking. No advertising. No data sales. Your yard stays yours.
Per-camera controls, and full account & data deletion that completes within a day.
"Finally something that uses my Ring cams for delight instead of anxiety. The privacy filter sold me."
"I had no idea a fox walked through my yard every night. Now breakfast starts with 'Red Fox — a new species for you.'"
"My kids check the species collection like a Pokédex for the backyard. 23 species and counting."
No. YardWild works with the Ring outdoor cameras and doorbells you already own. There's no new hardware to buy or install.
Never. Any frame containing a person is discarded before species identification and is never stored. YardWild also doesn't identify birds — mammals and backyard wildlife are the point.
