The patent images show a wide, vertically oriented rectangle design primarily consisting of two speakers, a dual camera sensor array, and display embedded behind glass. An apparent capacitive button with a glowing bell icon is included in the metal frame just below that and the frame extends around the entire doorbell. Viewed from the top, the back half of the doorbell is flat to sit flush with a wall or door frame. The front side is flat along the top and bottom edge but has curves similar to the company's Galaxy S series flagships at the left and right hand edge. No indication is given with regard to scale but, based on the size of the camera sensors in relation to the overall size of the doorbell, it wouldn't likely be much larger than a few inches wide. Background: Samsung has had at least some experience in the category of camera enabled doorbells and similar technologies thanks in part to former subsidiary Hanwha Techwin and its SmartCam lineup. However, it has been quite some time since any new products were launched under the Samsung branding. Finalization of the sale of Samsung Techwin to Hanwha Group was completed in 2015, with the newly merged company rebranding as Hanwha Techwin. The Korean tech giant's efforts in the space since that split have been almost entirely non existent. Hanwha Techwin has gone on to continue making cameras and still utilizes Samsung's SmartCam and WiseNet branding as well as online services for the storage and subscription services side of the business. That means that signing up for or checking in on a subscription still relies on Samsung SmartCam site.
