Abstract
An outdoor camera integrated into an alarm system for property monitoring, configured to monitor a property. The alarm system can have a base station that communicates with all the components of the alarm system, such as an outdoor camera, which can be equipped with an imaging sensor and software capabilities to conduct analysis on data collected by the outdoor camera to determine information about a human or non-human visitor at the property. The outdoor camera provides information about detected events at the property to the base station, where the data can be used to take appropriate action at the property and communicate with either the user or a monitoring service.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a computing system, that a motion event occurred at a property;
- receiving, by the computing system, data acquired by a camera monitoring the property;
- determining, by the computing system and using the data, that a visitor on the property is a delivery person based on at least one external feature of the visitor;
- determining, by the computing system, a risk score representing a likelihood that the motion event is related to criminal activity, wherein the risk score is based at least in part on (i) the visitor having been determined to be a delivery person, (ii) a length of time the visitor has been present at the property, and (iii) a time of day;
- and
- causing, by the computing system and based at least in part on the risk score satisfying a threshold, a notification to be sent to an endpoint device.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable mediums encoded with instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- determine that a motion event occurred at a property;
- receive data acquired by a camera monitoring the property;
- determine, using the data, that a visitor on the property is a delivery person based on at least one external feature of the visitor;
- determine a risk score representing a likelihood that the motion event is related to criminal activity, wherein the risk score is based at least in part on (i) the visitor having been determined to be a delivery person, (ii) a length of time the visitor has been present at the property, and (iii) a time of day;
- and
- based at least in part on the risk score satisfying a threshold, cause a notification to be sent to an endpoint device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums encoded with instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to:
- determine that a motion event occurred at a property;
- receive data acquired by a camera monitoring the property;
- determine, using the data, that a visitor on the property is a delivery person based on at least one external feature of the visitor;
- determine a risk score representing a likelihood that the motion event is related to criminal activity, wherein the risk score is based at least in part on (i) the visitor having been determined to be a delivery person, (ii) a length of time the visitor has been present at the property, and (iii) a time of day;
- and
- based at least in part on the risk score satisfying a threshold, cause a notification to be sent to an endpoint device.
