    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for advanced monitoring of an HVAC system. In some implementations, a voltage measurement across at least two interface terminals of a thermostat that controls an HVAC system of a property is obtained. The voltage measurements are analyzed. A likely power cycling activity of a component of the HVAC system is determined based on analyzing the voltage measurements. Whether the HVAC system is operating properly is determined based on the likely power cycling activity of the component of the HVAC system. Data indicating whether the HVAC system is operating properly is generated and outputted based on determining whether the HVAC system is operating properly.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting a video quality. One of the methods includes: determining, for a repeating time range of a video with a first video quality, a frequency with which one or more portions of the video were accessed, each portion for a corresponding one of one or more past instances of the repeating time range; selecting, for the repeating time range and using the frequency with which the portion of the video for the repeating time range was accessed, a second video quality from two or more video qualities that includes the first video quality; and storing, in memory, one or more additional portions of the video i) captured by a camera during future instances of the repeating time range ii) at the second video quality.

    摘要: A circuit is described for powering a chime that outputs audio in response to detection of an entity by a video doorbell. The circuit includes a power source for generating a first signal. A first switch is coupled to the power source. The first switch is configured to provide, in response to the first signal, a first direct-current (DC) voltage signal during a first operating mode where the video doorbell receives an input that triggers actuation of the chime in response to detection of the entity. A second switch is coupled to the power source and the first switch. The second switch is configured to provide, in response to the first signal, a second DC voltage signal during a second operating mode where the chime outputs the audio in response to the input that triggers actuation of the chime in response to detection of the entity.

    摘要: A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property is disclosed. In one aspect, the monitoring system includes one or more sensors that are located throughout the property and that are configured to generate sensor data. The monitoring system further includes a drone that is configured to move throughout the property and generate additional sensor data. The monitoring system further includes a drone dock that is configured to receive the drone, wherein the drone is configured to continue generating the additional sensor data while the drone dock is receiving the drone. The monitoring system further includes a monitor control unit that is configured to receive the sensor data and the additional sensor data, analyze the sensor data and the additional sensor data, determine a status of the property, and provide, for output, data indicating the status of the property.
