An electromechanical component for a locking mechanism is provided. The locking mechanism includes a latching component having a latch member reciprocally movable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation. The electromechanical component comprises a drive member configured to be coupled to the latch member, an actuator operably coupled to the drive member, a temperature sensor for sensing an ambient temperature associated with the locking mechanism; and a printed circuit board (PCB) in communication with the temperature sensor and the actuator. When the PCB receives a control signal to move the latch member between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation, and the temperature sensor senses that the ambient temperature is below a predetermined threshold temperature, the PCB is configured to direct a pulsed current signal to the actuator to move the latch member between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation.

A system for monitoring a dwelling includes at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon. The instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect a status change of a door at the dwelling, activate a camera to monitor an area proximate the door in response to the status change, and deactivate the camera following the door transitioning from open to closed and prior to a lock associated with the door being locked. The camera continues to be activated until the door is closed.

Provided is an auto-open door-lock device including a locking set and a control set. The control set includes a first motor that operates a locking lever and is connected with the locking set, a first micro switch that determines a rotation status of the first motor, a second motor that operates a latch and is connected with the locking set, and a second micro switch that determines a rotation status of the second motor. The locking set includes a locker that fastens a hook and receives a rotational force in a first direction based on a first center, the latch that receives a rotational force in a second direction based on a second center attached to one side, and the locking lever that moves a locking flange that implements a locked state by fastening the locker and including a lever hole track.
