    Abstract: Methods communicate among a client device, a network device, and an audio/video recording and communication device (A/V device). The network device includes a processor, memory, and instructions that when executed by the processor implement the method. An indication that an application associated with the A/V device is running and open on a display of the client device is received from the client device. Update information, when received by the A/V device, causes the A/V device to adjust a keep-alive interval from a first amount of time to a second amount of time shorter than the first amount of time. A signal from the A/V device is received, and the update information is transmitted to the A/V device in response.
