    Abstract: A bridge device spoofs a wireless router on behalf of an audio/video recording and communication device (A/V device) to keep a connection with the router active. This prevents the router from dropping the connection with the A/V device. Without the spoofing, the A/V device would have to reestablish a connection which may delay data transmission from the A/V device. The bridge device spoofs the A/V device by sending keepalive messages, which consumes significant power. The A/V device thereby consumes less power because the A/V device does not send keepalive messages while being spoofed by the bridge device. The A/V device and the bridge device communicate over a separate, lower power communication channel, so that the bridge can, for example, tell the A/V device when to wake up and resume communication with the router.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle such as a drone or a robot is programmed or configured to respond to reports of alarm events or conditions within one or more spaces of a facility. The autonomous vehicle travels to a location of a reported alarm event or condition and captures data using onboard sensors. The autonomous vehicle independently determines whether the reported alarm event or condition is false, or is otherwise properly addressed by resources that are available at the location, using images or other data captured by the onboard sensors. Alternatively, the autonomous vehicle transmits a request for additional resources to be provided at the location, where necessary. A physical map of the location generated based on the images or other data captured by the onboard sensors may be utilized for any purpose, such as to make one or more recommendations of products that are appropriate for use at the facility.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle is programmed or configured to respond to reports of events or conditions within spaces of a facility. The aerial vehicle travels to a location of a reported event or condition and captures data using onboard sensors. The aerial vehicle independently determines whether the reported event or condition is occurring, or is otherwise properly addressed by resources that are available at the location, using images or other data captured by the onboard sensors. Alternatively, the aerial vehicle transmits a request for additional resources to be provided at the location, where necessary. A map of the location generated based on images or other data captured by the onboard sensors may be utilized for any purpose, such as to make one or more recommendations of products that are appropriate for use at the facility.
