Abstract: In a battery-powered audio/video recording and communication device having a camera, the length of a preset interval (the interval between instances of the device sending a request to a network to check whether any user requests to access the camera have been received) may be adjusted upward or downward in order to balance the competing interests of reducing latency (e.g. reducing the delay that the user may experience when trying to access the camera) and conserving battery life. The present embodiments advantageously balance these competing interests by initially setting the length of the preset interval to be relatively short to reduce latency, but automatically increasing the length of the preset interval as the battery charge is depleted, thereby extending battery life. The present embodiments also advantageously enable the length of the preset interval to be increased after the battery is recharged, thereby reducing latency.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for displaying location information of an object along with a video depicting the object. For instance, an electronic device may use a radar sensor to generate radar data representing the locations and an imaging device to generate image data representing the video. A user device may then use the image data to display the video. Additionally, the user device may display a map of a geographic area that includes the electronic device over a portion of the video. The electronic device then uses the radar data to determine positions on the map that corresponds to the locations. Using the positions, the electronic device displays interface elements representing the locations of the object. In some circumstances, the interface elements include different characteristics, such as colors, indicating a direction of motion of the object.

Abstract: Video footage captured by A/V recording and communication devices may be readily uploaded to the cloud and shared with a requesting party, such as a law enforcement agency. When a request is received from a requesting party for video footage, a set of videos meeting the criteria specified by the requesting party may be determined. Consent requests may then be sent to users associated with each of the A/V recording and communication devices that recorded the videos meeting the criteria specified by the requesting party. When user consents to share the videos are received, the video footage may be provided to the requesting party.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to improvements to audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices, including improved approaches to using a neighborhood alert mode for triggering multi-device recording, to a multi-camera motion tracking process, and to a multi-camera event stitching process to create a series of “storyboard” images for activity taking place across the fields of view of multiple cameras, within a predetermined time period, for the A/V recording and communication devices.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for filtering and presenting specific portions of monitoring data associated with specific events. The features may include: (1) receiving time stamp information from delivery partner; (2) filtering or receiving filtered feed of monitoring data such as audio or video data; and (3) providing notification to a user including the specific portion of the monitoring data. Where the monitoring data is ambiguous or disrupted, the analysis may be offloaded to a manual review process to avoid false-positives.

Abstract: A wireless speaker device configured for use with a wireless A/V recording and communication device, such as a doorbell. The wireless speaker device, which includes a speaker, may connect to the user's local area network (LAN), such as a Wi-Fi network. The LAN is connected to a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet and/or a public switched telephone network (PSTN). When the wireless A/V recording and communication device detects a visitor, it sends a first signal, via the LAN, to device backend server in the WAN. In response, the back-end server in the WAN transmits a second signal, via the LAN, to the wireless speaker device. The second signal to the wireless speaker device includes a command for the wireless speaker device to emit a tone through its speaker. The wireless speaker device then emits a tone through its speaker to alert the user that a visitor is at the wireless A/V recording and communication device.
