    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor of an audio/video recording and communication device (A/V device), an input in response to a press or a touch of a button of the A/V device. The method further includes determining, by the processor based on the input, that the button was pressed or touched for a threshold period of time. Upon determining that the button was pressed or touched for the threshold period of time, the method further includes activating, by the processor, a command input mode. During the command input mode the processor analyzes visual data captured by a camera of the A/V device. The method further includes determining, by the processor based on the visual data, a command input entered during the command input mode. The method further includes executing, by the processor, an action based on the command input.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an electronic device that is capable of coordinating the control of various types of lights. For example, the electronic device may receive data indicating conditions for activating the light emitters. The electronic device may then obtain sensor data generated by various sensors, such as motion sensors, light sensors, or a timer. Using the sensor data, the electronic device may determine that the conditions are satisfied and, in response, cause the light emitters to activate. To activate a first type of light emitters, the electronic device may cause power to be provided to the first type of emitters via connectors. Additionally, to activate additional types of light emitters, the electronic device may transmit signals to the additional types of light emitters that include commands to activate. The additional types of light emitters may be powered by the electronic device or external power sources.

    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.

    Abstract: Audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices having a light source in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure are provided. In one embodiment, an A/V recording and communication device is provided, the A/V recording and communication device comprising: a processor, a camera, a communication module, a light source, and a non-transitory machine-readable memory storing a program executable by the processor, the program comprising sets of instructions for: receiving, using the communication module, from a client device associated with the A/V recording and communication device, an activation request to activate the light source; in response to receiving the activation request, activating the light source and recording, by the camera, image data in a field of view; receiving, using the communication module, from the client device, a deactivation request to deactivate the light source; and in response to receiving the deactivation request, deactivating the light source and the camera.
