  • Patent number: 11935297
    Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a storage medium, are described for implementing item monitoring using a doorbell camera. A system generates an input video stream that has image frames corresponding to detection of activity at a property. Timing information is generated for the video stream and includes a timestamp for each image frame of the stream. Using the timing information, the system processes a pre-event image frame that precedes detection of the activity and a post-event image frame that coincides with detection of the activity. An image score is computed with respect to placement of a candidate item at the property in response to processing the pre-event and post-event image frames. The image score is used to determine that a first item was delivered to the property or that a second item was removed after being delivered to the property.
