The door status device is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the door status device and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to record in response to door lock status.
1. A system for monitoring a dwelling comprising:
a remotely operable lock coupled to a dwelling;
at least one camera, including a first camera positioned at a door of the dwelling;
at least one processor; and
at least one storage having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method comprising:
in response to an instruction from a mobile device, unlocking the remotely operable lock, wherein unlocking the remotely operable lock causes the remotely operable lock to output data indicating an unlocked status of the remotely operable lock; and
in response to receiving the data indicating the unlocked status of the remotely operable lock, initiating monitoring, with the at least one camera, motion of a moving object in a field of view of the first camera, wherein monitoring the motion of the moving object comprises determining whether the moving object has crossed a first boundary at least partially within the dwelling.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to delimit a plurality of boundaries at least partially within the dwelling, including the first boundary, and determine whether the moving object has crossed any boundary of the plurality of boundaries within the dwelling.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit an alert in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform a first corrective action in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary and to perform a second corrective action, different than the first corrective action, in response to determining that the moving object has crossed a second boundary within the dwelling.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the second corrective action comprises transmitting an alarm.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring the motion of the moving object is based on an identity of the mobile device.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform a corrective action in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary and a determination that the instruction was sent from an unauthorized mobile device.
8. A method for controlling a system for monitoring a dwelling comprising a remotely operable lock coupled to the dwelling, the method comprising:
in response to an instruction from a mobile device, unlocking the remotely operable lock, wherein unlocking the remotely operable lock causes the remotely operable lock to output data indicating an unlocked status of the remotely operable lock; and
in response to receiving the data indicating the unlocked status of the remotely operable lock, initiating monitoring, with at least one camera including a first camera, motion of a moving object in a field of view of the first camera, wherein monitoring the motion of the moving object comprises determining whether the moving object has crossed a first boundary at least partially within the dwelling.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising delimiting a plurality of boundaries at least partially within the dwelling, including the first boundary, and determining whether the moving object has crossed any boundary of the plurality of boundaries within the dwelling.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting an alert in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising performing a first corrective action in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary and performing a second corrective action, different than the first corrective action, in response to determining that the moving object has crossed a second boundary within the dwelling.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second corrective action comprises transmitting an alarm.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the monitoring the motion of the moving object is based on an identity of the mobile device.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising performing a corrective action in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary and that the instruction was sent from an unauthorized mobile device.
15. A system for monitoring a dwelling comprising:
a remotely operable lock coupled to the dwelling;
at least one camera, including a first camera positioned at a door of the dwelling;
a server configured to communicate with the remotely operable lock, the at least one camera, and a mobile device, wherein the server is configured to:
receive instruction from the mobile device to operate the remotely operable lock;
in response to the instruction from the mobile device, unlocking the remotely operable lock, wherein unlocking the remotely operable lock causes the remotely operable lock to output data indicating an unlocked status of the remotely operable; and
in response to receiving the data indicating the unlocked status of the remotely operable lock, cause the at least one camera to initiate monitoring motion of a moving object in a field of view of the first camera, wherein monitoring the motion of the moving object comprises determining whether the moving object has crossed a first boundary at least partially within the dwelling.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the server is further configured to transmit an alert in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the server is further configured to perform a first corrective action in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary and to perform a second corrective action, different than the first corrective action, in response to determining that the moving object has crossed a second boundary within the dwelling.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein monitoring motion of the moving object is based on an identity of the mobile device, wherein the server is further configured to perform a corrective action in response to determining that the moving object has crossed the first boundary and a determination that the instruction was sent from an unauthorized mobile device.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the second corrective action comprises transmitting an alarm.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to delimit a plurality of boundaries at least partially within the dwelling, including the first boundary, and determine whether the moving object has crossed any boundary of the plurality of boundaries within the dwelling.
