Video recording triggered by a smart lock device
An intelligent door lock system for a door at a dwelling. The intelligent door lock system includes a door status device is at the dwelling, an engine, an energy source, a memory, and a camera. The door status device is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the door status device and includes a bolt. The engine, the energy source, and the memory are coupled together. The camera is configured to record in response to door lock status.
Vehicle-mounted apparatus
A vehicle-mounted apparatus comprising: a main body portion; and an electronic key accommodating portion that accommodates an electronic key of a vehicle and is attachable to and detachable from the main body portion, wherein the electronic key accommodating portion includes a switching unit that switches detection states of a first detection unit and a second detection unit according to an attachment or detachment operation of the electronic key accommodating portion to or from the main body portion, the first detection unit is provided in the main body portion for detecting an accommodation state of the electronic key in the electronic key accommodating portion, and the second detection unit is provided in the main body portion for detecting an attachment or detachment state of the electronic key accommodating portion with respect to the main body portion.
ELECTRONIC LOCK COMPRISING INTERFACE CIRCUITRY AND A MICROCONTROLLER
It is provided an electronic lock (20) comprising interface circuitry (4) and a microcontroller (5); wherein the interface circuitry (4) is configured to dynamically respond to a query signal from a conductively connected electronic key (2), to enable the electronic key (2) to detect presence of the electronic lock (20); wherein the interface circuitry (4) is further configured to decode incoming data from the electronic key (2) for forwarding to the microcontroller (5), and to encode outgoing data from the microcontroller (5) for forwarding to the electronic key (2); wherein the interface circuitry (4) is further configured to control when power is transferred from the electronic key (2) to the microcontroller (5); and wherein the microcontroller (5) is connected to the interface circuitry (4) for communicating with the electronic key (2) and for receiving power from the electronic key (2).
VIDEO RECORDING TRIGGERED BY A SMART LOCK DEVICE
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.
