Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for infant monitoring, including video and/or audio monitoring are described. In certain embodiments, a camera may be provided for monitoring an infant. The camera may be configured to communicate with a user device. The camera may be configured to operate in either a local communications sessions, such as peer-to-peer mode over a local network or in a remote mode over a wide area network. While operating in a peer-to-peer mode, a relatively high bandwidth local area connection may be utilized to communicate video and/or audio information to a user device. While operating in a remote or network hosting mode, one or more lower quality signals may be communicated to a user device. For example, a lower resolution video signal may be communicated to a user device and/or a voice over Internet protocol (“VoIP”) audio signal may be communicated to the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring presence and movement are provided. One or more wave sensors configured to emit sound waves and detect reflections of the emitted sound waves may collect measurements data that is provided to one or more processing components, such as a smart security camera or a home security system. The measurements data may be evaluated in order to determine a location of a monitored subject and to detect changes in the location of the monitored subject. In this regard, movement of the monitored subject may be tracked and utilized to implement a wide variety of control actions, such as the control of security cameras and/or the triggering of alarm events.

Abstract: Systems and methods for activating monitoring systems are provided. One or more parameters associated with the automatic activation of a monitoring system may be identified. The one or more parameters may be identified by a learning algorithm based upon historical information associated with the monitoring system. A determination may be made as to whether the one or more parameters have been satisfied. If it is determined that the one or more parameters have been satisfied, the monitoring system may be automatically activated. In certain embodiments, the above operations may be performed by a system that includes one or more computers.
