    Abstract: Communicating with law enforcement agencies using client devices that are associated with audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices are provided. In one embodiments, a method for a client device for preventing redundant calls to an emergency call center is provided, the method comprising: receiving, at the client device, a notification, along with video footage associated with the notification, about an event generated by an A/V recording and communication device, the video footage captured by a camera of the A/V recording and communication device; receiving a request for contacting the emergency call center; informing one or more backend devices, in communication with the client device and a home security monitoring center that monitors a security system, of the received request to suppress a potential redundant call to the emergency call center from the home security monitoring center; and contacting the emergency call center.

    Abstract: This application is directed to an electronic device that operates as both a sound component for a doorbell and a component of a security system. For instance, the electronic device may receive a signal from the doorbell. The electronic device may then output a sound associated with the doorbell. Additionally, the electronic device may receive data from one or more sensors associated with the security system. Based on the data, the electronic device may perform one or more functions. For instance, if the electronic device sets a specific mode of the security system, the electronic device may output a sound representing an alarm of the security system. Additionally, the electronic device may send data to another electronic device, such as a server or a client device, that indicates that the one or more sensors detected an event.
