A system provides for locking or unlocking a lock at a door of an intelligent door lock system at a dwelling by a designated dwelling user. An intelligent door lock system includes a remotely operable lock at a dwelling accessible by a user and a server in communication with the intelligent door lock system. A user mobile device is in communication with the server. The user mobile device includes an App that provides for locking and/or unlocking of the lock of the intelligent door lock system. The user communicates with the server using the user's mobile device, and the server is configured to process the user crossings one or more geo-locations relative to the dwelling and create a data set that is stored in a database.

Systems and methods for communicating in a network using share signals in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure are provided. In one embodiment, a method for communicating in a network may include receiving, from a first client device, a share signal including first image data captured by a camera of a first audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device and a command to share the first image data with a network of users; processing the share signal by comparing the first image data to second image data captured by a camera of a second A/V recording and communication device; and generating and transmitting an alert to a second client device associated with the second A/V recording and communication device when comparison of the first image data with the second image data indicates a person of interest is depicted in both the first image data and the second image data.

A wireless power transmission system for transmitting power to energy receiving equipment is provided. The system includes: an intruder alarm, wherein the intruder alarm comprises a person detection system that is arranged to trigger the intruder alarm when the intruder alarm is set and the detection system is activated; a power source for wirelessly transmitting high power packets and low power packets; and energy receiving equipment for receiving the high power packets and low power packets from the power source, wherein the system is arranged such that the power source can only transmit high power packets when the intruder alarm is on and not triggered. A method of using the system is also provided.

Audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices in network communication with additional cameras in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure are provided. In one embodiment, an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device is provided comprising: a first camera configured to capture image data at a first resolution; a communication module; and a processing module operatively connected to the first camera and the communication module, wherein the processing module is in network communication with a backend server, the processing module comprising: a processor; and a camera application that configures the processor to: maintain the first camera in a low-power state; receive a power-up command signal from the backend server based on an output signal from a second camera; power up the first camera in response to the power-up command signal; and capture image data using the first camera in response to the power-up command signal.

A surveillance system (1) includes an area information acquisition unit (101), a request information provision unit (102), and a participation consent reception unit (103). The area information acquisition unit (101) acquires information of a surveillance-desired area. The request information provision unit (102) provides participation request information for surveillance that is conducted by using an image capturing unit of a portable terminal in the surveillance-desired area. The participation consent reception unit (103) receives participation consent as a response to the participation request information, from the portable terminal.

Systems and methods are provided for measuring, assessing, predicting, improving and presenting the state of physical object temperatures using imaging devices, e.g., a thermal infrared camera, and/or intruders in a region of interest to an operator, such that little or no operator effort is required to install, use or receive reports from the system. The invention also includes, for example, means and methods for exploiting autonomous operation and configuration, placement at remote sites, enhancement of image resolution and estimation of range such that accuracy of results and autonomy of operation is enhanced.

A monitoring system includes a camera that includes a removable primary power source and a secondary power source. The camera is configured to detect removal of the primary power source. The camera is configured to draw power from the secondary power source and generate a primary power source removal notification indicating that the primary power source has been removed from the camera. The monitoring system includes a monitor control unit that is configured to receive the primary power source removal notification. The monitor control unit is configured to determine whether a primary power source removal request was received within a period of time before receipt of the primary power source removal notification, the primary power source removal request indicating that the primary power source will be removed within the period of time. The monitor control unit is configured to perform a monitoring system action.

This application is directed to an electronic device that uses at least a low-power computer vision component to determine whether to activate a camera. For instance, the electronic device may cause the camera to operate in a low-power mode, such as by turning the camera off. The electronic device may then detect motion of an object using a motion sensor. Additionally, the electronic device may generate first image data using the computer vision component, where the first image data represents the object. After generating the first image data, the electronic device may use the computer vision component to analyze the first the image data in order to determine that the object includes a type of object, such as a person. Based at least in part on the determination, the electronic device may activate the camera and generate second image data using the camera.

A security device is disclosed herein, comprised of a body having a first end connectable into a standard light socket or plug, and a second end having a rotatable/extendable mount with a camera mounted thereon. The body may also include a controller, a wireless communication module, lights, one or more optional sensors (such as a motion sensor, ambient light sensor, etc.), a back-up battery, a 2-way speaker, and/or a microphone.

Provided are a camera, a system for remote viewing and talking, and its application. The camera includes a camera shielding case, a holder, and a cloud deck shielding case, the holder is a hollow structure, and a cavity of the camera shielding case is communicated with a cavity of the cloud deck shielding case through the holder with the hollow structure; a lens, a camera mainboard, an optical fiber transceiver, and a first filter are arranged in the camera shielding case; the camera shielding case is further provided with a power line hole and an optical fiber interface; the optical fiber transceiver is connected with the optical fiber interface through an optical fiber; output ends of the first filter are connected with the camera mainboard and the optical fiber transceiver respectively to supply power to the camera mainboard and the optical fiber transceiver.
