Patent number: 11909549Abstract: Doorbells often include a button to enable visitors to ring a chime to summon building occupants. In some embodiments, doorbells include a camera to take pictures of visitors. In several embodiments, doorbells include covers that are light filters. These light filters can cover infrared light sources such as infrared light emitting diodes. The light filters can pass infrared light while blocking visible light. In several embodiments, a front portion of a camera assembly fits through a hole in a light filter. Light filters can help secure camera assemblies and can form a portion of a doorbell's outer housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: SkyBell Technologies IP, LLCInventor: Joseph Frank Scalisi

Patent number: 11889009Abstract: A doorbell system can be used to block a first electricity that is less than a first threshold from entering an electronic chime. By blocking the first electricity from entering the electronic chime, the electronic chime is not allowed to emit a notification sound. The doorbell system can also be used to allow a second electricity that is greater than the first threshold to enter the electronic chime. By allowing the second electricity to enter the electronic chime, this can allow the electronic chime to emit a notification sound in response to a visitor being present.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: SkyBell Technologies IP, LLCInventor: Joseph Frank Scalisi
