Abstract: Sensor-based privacy-event detection for a mounted electronic device is described. In aspects, a security system includes a head assembly removably and magnetically coupled to a mounting device having a magnet. The electronic device also includes a camera module and a sensor disposed within the housing. The sensor detects a magnetic field associated with the magnet when the head assembly is coupled to the mounting device.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein examples of systems and methods for compressing a signal. Samples of the signal can be segmented and the samples within each of the segments can be averaged to produce a value that can represent the samples within the segment. The number of samples to average in each segment may be determined based on an error threshold, such that the number of samples being averaged can be maximized to produce less data to be transmitted while maintaining the representation of the samples within the error threshold. In some embodiments, a signal can be separated into a timing reference, a representative periodic function, and a highly compressible error signal. The error signal can be utilized for reproducing a representation of the signal.
