Abstract
Sharing video footage recorded by audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices, such as video doorbells and security cameras. When an A/V recording and communication device records video footage of suspicious activity, or even criminal activity, a user viewing the footage may alert his or her neighbors by sharing the video. In various embodiments, the user may share the video with anyone of the user's choosing, including neighbors, friends, and family.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device, a share signal associated with an electronic device;
- receiving first data indicating that the electronic device detected an event;
- based at least in part on the receiving of the first data, generating second data indicating that the electronic device detected the event;
- based at least in part on the share signal, sending the second data to a second user device;
- receiving, from the second user device, a request to receive image data generated by the electronic device;
- receiving the image data generated by the electronic device;
- and
- based at least in part on the share signal, sending the image data to the second user device.
