    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for separating the motion detection zone(s) of an A/V recording and communication device from the motion alert zone(s) of the A/V recording and communication device. For example, an A/V recording and communication device may be configured to generate motion alerts, and to record audio and video footage, when an event is detected within a selected motion alert zone (e.g., within a defined radius around the A/V recording and communication device). However, the A/V recording and communication device may not generate a motion alert for an event detected outside of the selected motion alert zone, even though the device may still record audio and video footage for the detected event (e.g., when the event is within a selected motion detection zone).

    Abstract: This application is directed to a hub device that may operate as a substitute for a backend device. For instance, an audio/video recording and communication device (A/V device) may communicate with the backend device using a first communication link. The first communication link may include a network-connected device, such as a router. Based on the A/V device determining that the first communication link is disrupted, the A/V device may configure settings in order to communicate with the hub device using a second communication link. The hub device may then receive data from the A/V device using the second communication link. If the hub device is able to still communicate with the backend device, the hub device may send the data to the backend device. However, if the hub device is unable to communicate with the backend device, then the hub device may store the data and/or transmit the data to a client device.
