Systems, apparatus, and methods for low-power, intermittently-connected, security devices and other devices

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates systems, apparatus, and methods for security devices, in particular, low-power, security devices and other devices. The devices typically connect to the Internet or other networks only on an intermittent, event-based basis, typically by cellular modem. The invention meets a need for security devices, as well as other devices, that can connect to the Internet and other networks but that are low-power and/or intermittently connected to networks such as the Internet on an intermittent and/or on demand basis. This renders them more secure, less susceptible to hacking and other attacks, less prone to continuously gathering data that a user might consider to be superfluous and/or invasive in terms of data collected, and can make them low-power, thus allowing them to run on battery for long periods of time.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
