    Abstract: The A/V recording and communication devices used in a security system may be configured to detect motion, and to track and report that motion to a building resident. Some residents may wish to customize the tracking and reporting of motion based upon where and when the motion is detected. For example, a user may wish to be alerted when cars drive down her residential street at night, but does not wish to be alerted when cars drive down the street during the day. The present embodiments disclose several tools and methods by which a building resident can configure and manage the tracking and reporting of detected motion. To do so, the resident should configure two or more motion zones within the field of view captured by a camera, together with a set of time windows during which she wishes to track or be notified of detected motion.

    Abstract: A garage door is controlled to open using an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device. The device detects a vehicle within an area about the garage door and receives, using a camera, image data representative of an object associated with the vehicle. The device also compares the image data representative of the object associated with the vehicle with previously stored image data and identifies the object based on the comparing of the image data representative of the object with the previously stored image data. The device also authenticates an electronic device within the vehicle that is associated with the object by wirelessly communicating with the electronic device and determines, based at least in part on the authenticating of the electronic device within the vehicle, that the vehicle is an authorized vehicle. The device also transmits an actuation command to the garage door to cause the garage door to open.

    Abstract: This application is directed to techniques and processes for configuring light emitters, and techniques and processes for controlling the light emitters. For example, network device(s) may transmit, to a client device, first image data generated by an electronic device. The client device may then receive input indicating portion of a field of view (FOV) of the electronic device that represent light emitters. The network device(s) may then generate associations between the portions of the FOV and the light emitters. Later, the network device(s) may transmit, to the client device, second image data generated by the electronic device. The client device may then receive input selecting portions of the FOV that are associated with the light emitters. Based on the input, the network device(s) may control the light emitters, such as by causing the light emitters to activate or deactivate.

    Abstract: This application is directed to techniques and processes for notifying a user about power levels of electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may receive data representing the power level of a second electronic device. The first electronic device may then determine that the power level is below a threshold power level. After the determination, the first electronic device may detect a user and/or a client device located within a threshold distance to the first electronic device and/or the second electronic device. The first electronic device may then send data to the second electronic device, wherein the data includes a command to emit light according to a pattern indicating that the power level is below the threshold power level. Additionally, the first electronic device may send a message to the client device, where the message indicates that the power level is below the threshold power level.

    Abstract: The application describes customized notifications based at least in part on device characteristics. For example, a client device may identify information for populating an audio tone list associated with an electronic device, wherein the information includes a type of electronic device, a name of the electronic device; and/or a setting of the electronic device. The client device may then display audio tones that are based at least in part on the information. While displaying the audio tones, the client device may receive input selecting at least one of the audio tones to be associated with the electronic device. The client device may then receive a message indicating that the electronic device detected an object. Based at least in part on the message, the client device may output sound represented by an audio tone of the at least one audio tone.
