Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for optimizing motion detection in systems that use passive infrared (PIR) detectors. The techniques comprise generating a first signal and a second signal by two sets of detector elements. The techniques further involve calculating a sum of the first signal and the second signal as well as a difference between the first signal and the second signal. The techniques may comprise determining whether a slope of either the sum or the difference exceeds a threshold slope value. If the slope exceeds the threshold slope value, a determination may be made as to whether an amplitude of the sum or difference exceeds a detection threshold. If the amplitude does exceed the detection threshold, then a motion detection event is detected. If the slope does not exceed the threshold slope value, the first signal and the second signal are zeroed out.

Abstract: A device including a mount, a first arm coupled to the mount, and a second arm coupled to the mount. The first arm includes first teeth and the second arm includes second teeth. A first light assembly rotationally couples to the first arm, and includes a first coupler that engages with the first teeth. A second light assembly rotationally couples to the second arm, and includes a second coupler that engages with the second teeth. A camera assembly pivotably couples to the mount, and includes a camera, a first passive infrared (PIR) sensor, and a second PIR sensor.

Abstract: An audio/video (A/V) device includes a first housing and a second housing rotatably coupled to the first housing. The first housing includes a camera oriented in a first direction, one or more microphones oriented in the first direction, one or more first lighting elements oriented in the first direction, one or more second lighting elements oriented in a second direction, one or more third lighting elements oriented in a third direction, and one or more first contacts. The second housing includes a loudspeaker oriented in a fourth direction and one or more second contacts configured to engage with the one or one first contacts. An engagement between the one or more first contacts and the one or more second contacts communicatively couples the loudspeaker to computing components with the first housing.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first passive infrared (PIR) sensor and a second PIR sensor positive vertically below the first PIR sensor. One or more lenses are shaped and positioned to focus light received at the one or more lenses onto the first PIR sensor and the second PIR sensor. The first PIR sensor has a first field of view (FoV), and the second PIR sensor has a second FoV that is vertically and horizontally offset from the first FoV.
