    摘要: A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property is described. The monitoring system includes a sensor that includes a battery and that is configured to generate sensor data based on activity in a portion of the property that is within a field of view of the sensor. The monitoring system further includes a monitor control unit that is configured to: after replacement of a battery of the sensor, receive and analyze the sensor data, based on analyzing the sensor data, determine a status of the portion of the property without recalibrating the field of view of the sensor, and provide, for output, a notification that includes data describing the status of the portion of the property.

    摘要: In one general aspect, a drone control device includes a body, a motor that is configured to move the body, a network module, an input module, and a processor. The network module is configured to communicate with a security system that monitors a property and receive data associated with a location within the property. The input module is configured to receive user input. The processor is configured to perform operations that include: determine, from among the location within the property and other locations within the property, a target location within the property; move the body to the target location within the property by providing a signal to the motor; receive, from the input module, input data that is associated with an operation of the security system; and in response to receiving the input data, perform the operation of the security system.

    摘要: Techniques are described for enabling a service administrator to respond to a detected doorbell press at a property when an authorized user is unavailable to respond. In some implementations, a determination that a doorbell press has been detected at a property is made. Video data collected by a doorbell device of the property is obtained in response to determining that the doorbell press has been detected at the property. Sensor data collected by one or more sensors of a monitoring system located within the property is obtained in response to determining that the doorbell press has been detected at the property. A present security risk for the property is determined based at least on the obtained sensor data and the obtained video data. A communication session between the doorbell device and a server system associated with the monitoring system of the property is established in response to determining the present security risk for the property.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for virtual inductance loop technology. In one aspect, a method includes calibrating, using calibration parameters, cameras directed towards a scene, obtaining, by the cameras, images corresponding to the scene, identifying reference structures in the scene, and determining, based on the reference structures and the images, locations in the scene for generating virtual inductance loop lines in the scene. The method also includes generating the virtual inductance loop lines to be imposed on the images, comparing the virtual inductance loop lines to determine one or more offsets, and determining, based on the offsets, characteristics of the scene.

    摘要: Methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing an indication of a direction a person passes through a door in a property, the method including receiving, at a sensing device and from a control panel of an alarm system in a property, instructions to provide an indication of a direction a person passes through a door in the property; obtaining motion data using a motion sensor that is included in the sensing device; detecting the opening of the door using a magnetometer included in the sensing device; based on the obtained motion data and detected opening of the door, determining a direction a person passed through the door; and providing, to the control panel, an indication of the direction the person passed through the door.

    摘要: Image surveillance and reporting technology, in which an event that is indicative of potential physical activity within an area corresponding to a location of a camera unit is detected. In response to detection of the event, the camera unit is controlled to capture one or more images of the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit. The one or more images captured by the camera unit are analyzed to determine whether the one or more images include image data that is indicative of relevant physical activity within the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit. The one or more images are handled based on the determination of whether the one or more images include image data that is indicative of relevant physical activity within the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit.

    摘要: Monitoring system alert technology, in which monitoring system data is accessed from a monitoring system that is located in a property of a user and the monitoring system data is analyzed against one or more rules that define alerts provided for the monitoring system. Based on the analysis, a determination is made that an alert for the monitoring system is needed and conditions for providing the alert are accessed. Location of a mobile device of a user associated with the monitoring system and timing related to providing the alert are monitored. The monitored location of the mobile device and the monitored timing are analyzed with respect to the accessed conditions. Based on the analysis, a determination is made that the accessed conditions for providing the alert are met and the alert is output at the mobile device.
