Doorbell communication and electrical systems

A doorbell system, comprising:

• an electronic doorbell comprising a camera and a button, wherein the camera is configurable to take a picture of a visitor and the button is configurable to enable the visitor to sound an electronic chime;
• an electronic switch assembly electrically coupled to the electronic doorbell and an external power supply;
• and
• the electronic chime electrically coupled to the electronic switch assembly and mechanically coupled to the electronic switch assembly, wherein the electronic chime comprises a speaker configurable to emit a notification sound in response to the visitor pressing the button of the electronic doorbell,
• wherein the electronic switch assembly is configured to block a first electricity that is less than a first threshold from entering the electronic chime, wherein the first electricity does not cause the electronic chime to emit the notification sound, and wherein the electronic switch assembly is configured to allow the first electricity to pass through the electronic switch assembly,
• wherein the electronic switch assembly is configured to allow a second electricity that is greater than the first threshold to enter the electronic chime, and wherein the second electricity causes the electronic chime to emit the notification sound,
• the doorbell system further comprising an electrical circuit configured so that a third electricity passes from the external power supply to the electronic doorbell and to the electronic switch assembly and then back to the external power supply without entering the electronic chime in response to the third electricity being less than the first threshold,
• wherein the electrical circuit is configured so that a fourth electricity passes from the external power supply to the electronic doorbell and to the electronic switch assembly, wherein the fourth electricity is diverted from the electronic switch assembly into the electronic chime and then back into the electronic switch assembly in response to the fourth electricity being greater than the first threshold, wherein the electronic doorbell and the electronic switch assembly are in series in the electrical circuit, and
• wherein the electronic chime comprises a digital chime having a first printed circuit board that is configured to enable the electronic chime to emit the notification sound from the speaker based on digital music data.

• an electronic switch assembly electrically coupled to the electronic doorbell and an external power supply, wherein the electronic switch assembly is mechanically coupled to the electronic chime, wherein the electronic doorbell is located in a remote location relative to the electronic chime;
• and
• the electronic chime electrically coupled to the electronic switch assembly, wherein the electronic chime comprises a speaker configurable to emit a notification sound in response to the visitor pressing the button of the electronic doorbell,
• wherein the electronic switch assembly defines a first state and a second state, wherein the first state occurs in response to a first electricity that is less than a first threshold, and the second state occurs in response to a second electricity that is greater than the first threshold,
• wherein in the first state the electronic switch assembly blocks the first electricity from passing through the electronic chime so the electronic chime does not emit the notification sound, and in the second state the electronic switch assembly allows the second electricity to pass through the electronic chime such that the electronic chime emits the notification sound,
• the doorbell system further comprising an electrical circuit configured so that a third electricity passes from the external power supply to the electronic doorbell and to the electronic switch assembly and then back to the external power supply without entering the electronic chime in response to the third electricity being less than the first threshold,

• wherein the electronic switch assembly is capable of blocking electrical power from entering the electronic chime in response to the first electricity being less than the first threshold, and
• wherein the electronic switch assembly is capable of diverting the electrical power from the electronic switch assembly into the electronic chime in response to the second electricity being greater than the first threshold.
