    Abstract: The application is directed to an electronic that includes multiple motion sensors, such as passive infrared sensors, that the electronic device uses to detect characteristics of objects. For instance, the motion sensors may be substantially vertically aligned and/or substantially horizontally aligned with one another, where each motion sensor is positioned at a respective angle with respect to a ground plane. When the motion sensors detect an object, the electronic device can then determine a direction at which the object is moving and/or a speed at which the object is moving. In some instances, the direction may include towards the electronic device or away from the electronic device. Additionally, based on the characteristics of the object, the electronic device may perform an action, such as generating image data using a camera and/or sending a user alert.

    Abstract: An audio/video (A/V) device may include or accommodate a viewer through a barrier. For example, an A/V device may include a first component for installation on an exterior surface of a door, a second component for installation on an interior surface of the door, a viewer that extends through an opening in the door, and a flexible connector that electrically couples the first component and the second component. The A/V device may enable use of an existing hole in the door as part of a door viewer, while also providing the functionality of an A/V device. For example, the A/V device may be configured to receive an input using a button on the first component, generate image data using a camera on the first component, and send the image data to a network device.

    Abstract: Security video searching device, systems, and methods determine behavior associated with each of a plurality of video clips captured by security devices, find video clips that include behavior indicative of search characteristics, and send the found video clips to a user. A search engine analyzes each of the plurality of video clips to determine behavior associated with the video clip and finds ones of the plurality of video clips where the behavior matches the search characteristics defined by of the user. Previously determined behavioral patterns associated with motion signals generated by the security devices may also be used to determine behavior within the video clips.
