[Electronics-Talk] Ring doorbell users

[Patrick Johnson]

Does the system provide additional information such as number or
location of people at the door?  Would be helpful to know if it is a
single person or a group at the door and how  they are oriented.

Am guessing I am asking for a higher level of AI than the system is
designed to provide.
