Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods relating to security system and automation monitoring are described. In one embodiment a method may include receiving motion detection data via an electrical signal, analyzing the motion detection data based at least in part on a first parameter, identifying a movement of an object based at least in part on the analyzing, and adjusting one or more light emitting diodes based at least in part on the identifying.

Claims (46)

1. A computer-implemented method for security system monitoring comprising:

operating a security system at a first motion detection sensitivity level;

adjusting, by a processor, from the first motion detection sensitivity level to a second motion detection sensitivity level based at least in part on a first intensity level in a spectrum of one or more light emitting diodes of the security system;

identifying, by the processor, a movement of an object; and

modifying, by the processor, the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system from the first intensity level in the spectrum to a second intensity level in the spectrum based at least in part on the identifying, wherein the modifying from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum is based at least in part on adjusting from the first motion detection sensitivity level to the second motion detection sensitivity level.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the one or more light emitting diodes from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum based at least in part on adjusting form the first motion detection sensitivity level to the second motion detection sensitivity level further comprises:

modifying from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum is inversely related to the adjusting form the first motion detection sensitivity level to the second motion detection sensitivity level.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the one or more light emitting diodes from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum based at least in part on adjusting form the first motion detection sensitivity level to the second motion detection sensitivity level further comprises:

modifying from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum is complimentarily related to the adjusting form the first motion detection sensitivity level to the second motion detection sensitivity level.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the processor of the security system, motion detection data via an electrical signal, wherein identifying the movement of the object is based at least in part on the received motion detection data; and

analyzing, by the processor, the motion detection data based at least in part on the second motion detection sensitivity level, wherein identifying the movement of the object is based at least in part on the analyzing.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the motion detection data is received when the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system are operating at the first intensity level.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the motion detection data comprises at least one of an image captured by a motion sensing camera or video captured by the motion sensing camera.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein analyzing the motion detection data further comprises:

analyzing a first input and a second input.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first input comprises one or more of a video, a first segment of a video, a first captured image, a first audio input, and a first tactile input, and wherein the second input comprises one or more of a second video, a second segment of a video, a second captured image, a second audio input, and a second tactile input.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second motion detection sensitivity level is more sensitive than the first motion detection sensitivity level.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second motion detection sensitivity level is less sensitive than the second motion detection sensitivity level.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system further comprises:

modifying an intensity level of the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system from the second intensity level in the spectrum to a third intensity level in the spectrum.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second intensity level in the spectrum is greater than the first intensity level in the spectrum.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second intensity level in the spectrum is at least double the first intensity level in the spectrum.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first intensity level in the spectrum is between 20% and 40% of full intensity for the one or more light emitting diodes.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second intensity level in the spectrum is more than 50% of full intensity for the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system.

16. The method of claim 4 , wherein modifying the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system further comprises:

modifying the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system from the second intensity level in the spectrum back to the first intensity level in the spectrum based at least in part on the motion detection data.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system comprise infrared light emitting diodes.

18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the object based at least in part on modifying the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum.

19. An apparatus for security system monitoring, comprising:

a motion sensing camera to capture motion detection data;

a doorbell actuator;

an adjustable light source of a security system;

at least one processor;

memory in electronic communication with the at least one processor; and

instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the at least one processor to:

adjust, by the at least one processor, from the first motion detection sensitivity level to a second motion detection sensitivity level based at least in part on a first intensity level in a spectrum of one or more light emitting diodes of the security system;

identify, by the at least one processor, a movement of an object; and

modify, by the at least one processor, the one or more light emitting diodes of the security system from the first intensity level in the spectrum to a second intensity level in the spectrum based at least in part on the identifying, wherein the modifying from the first intensity level in the spectrum to the second intensity level in the spectrum is based at least in part on adjusting from the first motion detection sensitivity level to the second motion detection sensitivity level.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a security system storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

operate a security system at a first motion detection sensitivity level;

adjust, by the processor, from the first motion detection sensitivity level to a second motion detection sensitivity level based at least in part on a first intensity level in a spectrum of one or more light emitting diodes of the security system;
