    Abstract: A method for causing an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device to enter a setup mode involves detecting motion by one or more sensors of the A/V recording and communication device, while the A/V recording and communication device is disconnected from a local network. The method also involves entering, by the A/V recording and communication device, a setup mode to initiate a setup procedure after the detected motion. The setup procedure allows the A/V recording and communication device to wirelessly connect to a client device. The method further involves determining whether the client device connects to the A/V recording and communication device within a predetermined timeout period. Additionally, the method involves exiting the setup mode when the A/V recording and communication device does not connect to the client device within the predetermined timeout period.

    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.
