  • Patent number: 12096156
    Abstract: The present application is directed to creating intrusion zones for security systems. For example, a client device may cause a graphical user interface (GUI) to be displayed on a display, the GUI configured for creating an intrusion zone for an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device. The GUI may include one or more motion zones associated with a field of view of the A/V recording and communication device. While displaying the GUI, the client device may receive a first input selecting a motion zone from the one or more motion zones, at least a portion of the motion zone being associated with the intrusion zone, a second input for setting a conditional setting for the intrusion zone, and a third input selecting an activation mode of the security system to associate with the intrusion zone.

  • Patent number: 12081903
    Abstract: An audio/video (A/V) device may include or accommodate a viewer through a barrier. For example, an A/V device may include a first component for installation on an exterior surface of a door, a second component for installation on an interior surface of the door, a viewer that extends through an opening in the door, and a flexible connector that electrically couples the first component and the second component. The A/V device may enable use of an existing hole in the door as part of a door viewer, while also providing the functionality of an A/V device. For example, the A/V device may be configured to receive an input using a button on the first component, generate image data using a camera on the first component, and send the image data to a network device.

  • Patent number: 12073698
    Abstract: A security device has user-configurable motion detection settings. The security device includes at least one camera configured to capture sequential frames of image data within a field of view; at least one processor; memory communicatively coupled with the processor(s); a location setting, stored in the memory, defining whether or not the security device is located at a common access area; and machine readable instructions stored in the memory. The machine readable instructions are executable by the processor(s) to determine the image data indicates motion; and determine that the motion indicates lingering presence at the common access area. In certain embodiments, the machine readable instructions are executable by the processor(s) to determine, from the image data, that the average ambient light over a daily period varies less than a light variation threshold, and configure the location setting to indicate that the security device is located at the common access area.

  • Patent number: 12063458
    Abstract: The application is directed to techniques and processes for integrating multiple security systems. For instance, a system may receive first data from a first security system, where the first data indicates that the first security system detected a security event. The system may then analyze the first data to determine a type of the security event, a time frame of the security event, and/or a threat level of the security event. Based at least in part on the analyzing, the system may determine a security procedure for a second security system. The second security system may be located proximate to the first security system and/or may be included in a same security system network as the first security system. The security procedure may include changing a mode of the second security system and/or causing an electronic device of the second security system to generate image data.
