Abstract: This application discloses an electronic device (e.g., a camera) that a plurality of light sources and a light source driver. The light sources are configurable to a plurality of light source subsets to illuminate a field of view. At least two of the light source subsets include distinct light source members and are configured to illuminate different regions of the field of view. The light source driver is coupled to the plurality of light sources and configured to drive the plurality of light source subsets. In some embodiments, the electronic device includes or is coupled to a camera module configured to capture visual data of the field of view, and the plurality of light sources is configured to provide illumination for the camera module.

Abstract: Doorbell camera systems are provided that can include a doorbell camera subsystem and a chime subsystem. The doorbell camera subsystem may include, among other features, a camera module and a doorbell button. The chime subsystem may include, among other features, a battery and electronics that interface with a chime such as existing doorbell chime or a speaker. The battery is co-located with the chime subsystem and away from the doorbell camera subsystem. Co-locating the battery with the chime subsystem removes the battery from potentially harsh environmental conditions it would otherwise be subjected to if it was co-located with the doorbell camera subsystem.

Abstract: This application discloses an electronic device (e.g., a camera) that operates at two distinct modes and includes a camera lens configured to capture visual data of a field of view, a plurality of light sources, and a light source driver. The light sources are configurable to a plurality of light source subsets to illuminate the field of view. At least two of the light source subsets include distinct light source members and are configured to illuminate different regions of the field of view. The light source driver is configured to drive the light sources with two distinct drive voltages at two distinct modes. In a first mode, the light sources are electrically coupled to each other and driven by a first drive voltage. In the second mode, one of the light source subsets is selected and driven by a second drive voltage that is lower than the first dive voltage.

Abstract: This application discloses a camera including a camera lens, a plurality of light sources and bypass circuit. The camera lens is configured to capture visual data of a field of view, and the light sources are configured to illuminate the field of view. The bypass circuit is coupled to the light sources, and configured to group the light sources into a plurality of light source subsets. At least two of the light source subsets include distinct light source members to illuminate different regions of the field of view of the camera. The camera includes a first mode in which the light sources are electrically coupled in series to form a string and driven by a boosted drive voltage, and a second mode in which one of the light source subsets is selected and driven by a regular drive voltage that is lower than the boosted drive voltage.

Abstract: Doorbell camera systems are provided to include a doorbell camera subsystem and a chime subsystem both coupled to receive power from an alternating current power source. The doorbell camera subsystem may include, among other features, a camera module and a doorbell button. The chime subsystem may include, among other features, a current compensation network and chime driver circuitry operative to be coupled to a chime. The current compensation network is operative to dynamically adjust current consumption of the chime subsystem and current consumption of the doorbell camera subsystem during both a standby mode and a doorbell event mode.
