Abstract
An audio/video (A/V) recording and communication doorbell comprises a camera, a front button, and a motion sensor. The camera and the motion sensor are configured to work in tandem to detect motion in a field of view of the A/V recording and communication doorbell, such that a first one of the camera and the motion sensor detects motion and the other one of the camera and the motion sensor independently verifies the motion detection before an alert is sent to a user's client device. In this manner, user alerts from false alarm motion detections are reduced.
Claims20
An audio/video recording and communication device (A/V device), comprising:
- a camera;
- a motion sensor, wherein the motion sensor and the camera are configured to work in tandem to detect motion within a field of view of the A/V device;
- a communication module;
- a processor operatively connected to the camera, the motion sensor, and the communication module;
- and
- a memory storing a program comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the A/V device to:
- detect, using the camera, possible motion within the field of view of the A/V device;
- independently verify the possible motion by the camera using the motion sensor;
- and
- send an alert, using the communication module, to a client device.
