Induction-powered camera

An apparatus for security and/or automation systems, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
• generate a command to activate a mobile camera unit based at least in part on one or more emergency alerts and one or more security parameters, wherein the mobile camera unit is powered by induction power;
• transmit the command to the mobile camera unit;
• receive data from the mobile camera unit;
• analyze the data from the mobile camera unit, including analyzing the data to isolate identifiable sound characteristics and image requirements;
• identify, based at least in part on analyzing the data, one or more images to identify motion proximate the mobile camera unit;
• determine, based at least in part on identifying motion in the image and based at least in part on the identifiable sound characteristics, an identity of a person in the data received from the mobile camera unit;
• determine, based at least in part on pre-loaded facial imagery, whether the identified person is a user of the security and/or automation system;
• and
• transmit, in response to determining that the identified person is not a user of the security and/or automation system and in response to contacting one or more emergency personnel, the data received from the mobile camera unit to one or more emergency personnel.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:

• generate a command to activate a mobile camera unit based at least in part on one or more emergency alerts and one or more security parameters, wherein the mobile camera unit is powered by induction power;
• transmit the command to the mobile camera unit;
• receive data from the mobile camera unit;
• analyze the data from the mobile camera unit, including analyzing the data to isolate identifiable sound characteristics and image requirements;
• identify, based at least in part on analyzing the data, one or more images to identify motion proximate the mobile camera unit;
• determine, based at least in part on identifying motion in the image and based at least in part on the identifiable sound characteristics, an identity of a person in the data received from the mobile camera unit;
• determine, based at least in part on pre-loaded facial imagery, whether the identified person is a user of the security and/or automation system, and
• transmit, in response to determining that the identified person is not a user of the security and/or automation system and in response to contacting one or more emergency personnel, the data received from the mobile camera unit to one or more emergency personnel.
