In some implementations, the smart device 204 includes a doorbell camera 106, and the doorbell camera 106 has physical features that can provide real time camera status information and/or audio/visual
content that indicates or complements camera processing activity, to occupants of the environment without disturbing operation of the camera or the occupants. In some implementations, such physical features include a light ring that is provided at a periphery of a front cover, a periphery of a camera lens, or a periphery of a button on the doorbell camera 106, and is configured to be visible to occupants of the environment from a wide range of positions in the environment. For example, in some implementations, the light ring is configured to be visible in a range of positions that include at least areas of the environment that fall within the camera's field of view. In some implementations, the light ring has a plurality of individual lighting elements,
each having associated lighting characteristics that are individually controllable to reflect local camera status and/or a camera processing state/operation. In some configurations, the controllable lighting characteristics include one or more of on/off state, hue, saturation and/or brightness/intensity. In some configurations, the lighting elements are controlled individually to display an overall pattern e. g. , an entire ring or one or more portions of a ring that can be static or dynamic e. g. , one or more rotating portions of a ring consisting of a single displayed color or two or more different displayed colors. Each of the patterns can conform to a visual language and correspond to a camera status and/or a camera processing operation.
monitoring alarm system
It is noted that when the remote chime 1006 is
bypassed, the remote chime 1006 is electrically coupled to the bypass unit 1012 and the transformer 1010 while still letting pass a substantially low current that is less than a threshold chime current and does not activate the remote chime 1006 to ring. In addition, the bypass unit 1012 is configured to operate in the second
doorbell mode in accordance with a determination that a user press has been applied to the button. In the second doorbell mode, the bypass unit 1012 enables the remote chime 1006 to ring while coupling the doorbell camera 106 to the transformer 1010 e. g. , by the bypass circuit 1012C. Thus, in the absence of any user press on the button 1002, the bypass unit 1012 provides the input AC voltage to the camera module 1004 and bypasses i.
