Abstract: A method, in an application executing on a client device, includes: displaying a camera event history provided by a remote server system, where the camera event history is presented as a chronologically-ordered set of event identifiers, each event identifier corresponding to a respective event for which a remote camera has captured an associated video; receiving a user selection of a displayed event identifier; and in response to receiving the user selection of the displayed event identifier: expanding the selected event identifier into a video player window, the video player window consuming a portion of the displayed camera event history; and playing, in the video player window, the captured video; and in response to terminating playback of the captured video or user de-selection of the displayed event identifier, collapsing the video player window into the selected event identifier thereby stopping the playing of the captured video.

Abstract: A method for recognizing persons in video streams includes obtaining a live video stream, detecting a first person in the live video stream, determining from analysis of the live video stream first information that identifies an attribute of the first person, determining based on at least some of the first information that the first person is not identifiable to the computing system, storing at least some of the first information, receiving a user classification of the first person as being a stranger, and deleting the stored first information.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include systems and methods for recognizing persons in video streams. In one aspect, a method includes: obtaining images collected by video cameras in a smart home environment, each image including a detected person; for each image, obtaining first information that identifies an attribute of the detected person, the first information generated from analysis of the image; grouping the images into a first group of a plurality of groups based on the first information, each group of the plurality of groups representing a unique person; receiving a request to remove a first image from the first group; removing the first image from the first group; and disassociating the first information from the first group.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include systems and methods for recognizing persons in video streams. In one aspect, a method includes: (1) obtaining a live video stream; (2) detecting person(s) in the stream; and (3) determining, from analysis of the live video stream, first information of the detected person(s); (4) determining, based on the first information, that the first person is not known to the computing system; (5) in accordance with the determination that the first person is not known: (a) storing the first information; and (b) requesting a user to classify the first person; and (6) in accordance with a determination that a response was received classifying the first person as a stranger, deleting the stored first information.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include systems and methods for recognizing persons in video streams. In one aspect, a method includes: (1) obtaining images collected by video cameras in a smart home environment, each image including a detected person; (2) for each image, obtaining personally identifiable information of the detected person, the personally identifiable information generated from analysis of the image; (3) grouping the images into a first group of a plurality of groups based on the personally identifiable information, each group of the plurality of groups representing a unique person; (4) receiving from a user a request to remove a first image from the first group; and (5) in response to the request: (a) removing the first image from the first group; and (b) disassociating the corresponding personally identifiable information from the first group.

Abstract: A method at a computing system includes: obtaining video of an environment including a plurality of objects, wherein the video has a field of view; identifying one or more objects of the plurality of objects within the field of view; defining a zone of interest associated with a first object of the one or more objects, including identifying the zone of interest as one of an alerting zone or a suppression zone; subsequent to the defining, detecting one or more motion events captured in the video occurring at least partially within the zone of interest; when the zone of interest is an alerting zone, causing one or more notifications of the one or more motion events to be issued; and when the zone is a suppression zone, suppressing notifications of the one or more motion events.
