Abstract

Presented herein are systems and methods for a camera that can detect a trespassing animal or unauthorized pet activity. A system can include a camera, light emitting device, sound emitting device, and processor. The camera can capture visual data of an area. The processor can be in communication with the camera, the sound emitting device, and the light emitting device. The processor can analyze the visual data to detect presence of an animal within the area; determine, based on the analysis, whether the animal is a trespassing animal; and responsive to determining that the animal is a trespassing animal or is pet engaging in the unauthorized activity activate the sound emitting device to emit a sound or the light emitting device to emit a light selected to deter the trespassing animal or pet engaging in the unauthorized activity.

Claims (41)

1 . A system, comprising:

a camera configured to capture visual data of an area;

a light emitting device that is coupled to the camera;

a sound emitting device that is coupled to camera and the light emitting device; and

a processor in communication with the camera, the sound emitting device, and the light emitting device, wherein the processor is configured to:

analyze the visual data to detect presence of an animal within the area;

determine, based on the analysis, whether the animal is a pet engaging in an unauthorized activity; and

responsive to determining that the animal is the pet engaging in the unauthorized activity:

activate the sound emitting device to emit a sound selected to deter the pet engaging in the unauthorized activity; or

activate the light emitting device to emit a light specifically selected to deter the pet engaging in the unauthorized activity.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to record video data of the animal and transmit the recorded video to a device of a user.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the light or the sound is selected from a library based on the animal.

4 . The system of claim 1 , where in the light or the sound is selected from a library based on the unauthorized activity.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the sound is ultrasonic relative to human hearing range.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the sound is infrasonic relative to human hearing range.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the sound or the light is emitted with a characteristic selected as corresponding a type of the animal within the area.

8 . A system, comprising:

a camera configured to capture visual data of an area;

a light emitting device that is coupled to the camera;

a sound emitting device that is coupled to camera and the light emitting device; and

a processor in communication with the camera, the sound emitting device, and the light emitting device, wherein the processor is configured to:

analyze the visual data to detect presence of an animal within the area;

determine, based on the analysis, whether the animal is a pet engaging in an unauthorized activity; and

responsive to determining that the animal is the pet engaging in the unauthorized activity,

activate the sound emitting device to emit a sound selected to deter the pet engaging in the unauthorized activity; or

activate the light emitting device to emit a light selected to deter the pet from engaging in the unauthorized activity.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to record video data of the animal and transmit the recorded video to a device of a user.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the light or the sound is selected from a library based on the animal.

11 . The system of claim 8 , where in the light or the sound is selected from a library based on the unauthorized activity.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the sound is ultrasonic relative to human hearing range.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the sound is infrasonic relative to human hearing range.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the sound or the light is emitted with a characteristic selected as corresponding a type of the animal within the area.

15 . A method comprising:

analyzing visual data captured by a camera to detect a presence of an animal within the area;

determining, based on the analysis of the visual data, whether the animal is a trespassing animal; and

activating at least one of a sound emitting device to emit a sound selected to deter the trespassing animal or a light emitting device to emit a light selected to deter the trespassing animal.

16 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising recording video data of the animal and transmitting the recorded video to a device of a user.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein at least one of the light or the sound is selected from a library based on the animal.

18 . The system of claim 15 , where in the light or the sound is selected from a library based on an unauthorized activity of the animal.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the sound is ultrasonic relative to human hearing range.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the sound or the light is emitted with a characteristic selected as corresponding a type of the animal within the area.
