A camera can have a mounting socket configured to connect to a photodetector switch port of a streetlight for mechanically supporting a housing, a power supply receiving power from the port and an optical image sensor and lens arrangement mounted in the camera housing. A camera can have an optical image sensor and lens arrangement, a memory unit to store optical image data and a microcontroller unit to process optical image data. The camera can use a wireless network communications interface to communicate the optical image data by forming a network among similar wireless network communications interfaces from neighboring streetlight cameras.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for nanosatellite-based property monitoring are disclosed. A method includes receiving satellite data related to conditions of a property monitored by a monitoring system; determining, based on the satellite data, that the property is at risk from a threat; requesting, from a sensor of the monitoring system, sensor data related to the threat; receiving, from the sensor, the sensor data related to the threat; and based on analyzing the sensor data related to the threat, performing one or more monitoring system actions. The threat may include one of a weather hazard, a security hazard, or a property damage hazard. The monitoring system actions can include sending an instruction to adjust a sensor or component of the monitoring system and can include sending, to a user device, a notification that the property is at risk from the threat.

A method of operating a doorbell system can include receiving, by a remote computing device, a notification of an emergency event and in response to the receiving, illuminating at least one light of a doorbell to indicate an occurrence of the emergency event. The method can further include, in response to receiving the notification, initiating a communication with an emergency dispatcher and/or an emergency contact. The at least one light can illuminate in a variety of colors and illumination patterns corresponding to the type of emergency event.

In implementations described herein, /V recording and communication doorbell devices (“A/V doorbells”) may include supercapacitors to supply power to functional components of the A/V doorbells. For example, the A/V doorbells described herein may include one or more supercapacitors to supply power to one or more functional components in situations where doorbell power circuitry is unable to supply sufficient power for the one or more functional components to operate. The A/V doorbells described herein may also include a power control system and supercapacitor control circuitry to regulate the charging and discharging of the one or more supercapacitors. In various implementations, the supercapacitor control circuitry may control the amount of current supplied from the one or more supercapacitors to one or more functional components of the A/V doorbells.

The disclosure includes a security system including an outdoor security device. In some embodiments, the outdoor security device comprises a housing, a light coupled to the housing and located within a hollow inner portion of the housing, and a camera and a lens coupled to the housing. In some embodiments, the security device comprises at least one directional microphone communicatively coupled to the camera and configured to determine a location of a detected sound whereby the camera performs a frame lock to capture an image associated with the detected sound.

A system for a system for controlling a vehicle fuel-level display includes one or more processors and a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing a fuel-level display control module. The module includes computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, responsive to generation of a control signal, control operation of the vehicle so as to cause the fuel-level display to display a predetermined false low-fuel level.

A video recording device (video camera), a stand (magnetic support) and a wall/ceiling attachment is disclosed. The video recorder consists of a video camera with a high-quality sensor and a lens with a wide field of view. It is placed in a spherical housing with a semi-transparent stealth segment window. The video recording device is fixed on the stand using a magnetic holder, which allows one to orient and fix the video camera within 360 degrees around the vertical axis and within 0-180 degrees around the horizontal axis. The wall/ceiling mounting bracket (attachment) makes it possible to place the video camera on vertical (inner wall of the room, walls of cabinets, furniture, etc.), horizontal (ceiling of the room) and inclined surfaces of any configuration. The device is capable of video recording in insufficient and reduced illumination conditions of a room.

The present embodiments relate to improvements to audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices, including improved approaches to using a neighborhood alert mode for triggering multi-device recording, to a multi-camera motion tracking process, and to a multi-camera event stitching process to create a series of “storyboard” images for activity taking place across the fields of view of multiple cameras, within a predetermined time period, for the A/V recording and communication devices.
