Moreover, a message may be sent to the client device 220 that executes the user mobile application 624 in association with the doorbell camera 106, indicating that the user has pressed the button 1002 of the doorbell camera 106 at a certain time. In some implementations, the doorbell camera 106 may prompt a visitor to record an audio message, and send the audio message and a timestamp associated with the press on the doorbell button 1002 to the server system 164 and further to the user mobile application 624 of the client device 220. FIG. 10E is a flow chart of a method 1050 for controlling a doorbell camera in accordance with some implementations. In some implementations, the method 1050 is implemented at the doorbell camera 106 having a doorbell housing 702 and a doorbell button 1002 mounted on a front cover plate 708 of the doorbell housing 702. The doorbell housing 702 contains a camera module, an LED indicator, a processor and memory including programs executed by the processor. The doorbell camera 106 is electrically coupled to 1052 a remote chime 1006 via a bypass unit 1012 powered by a transformer 1010 that provides an input AC voltage. The remote chime 1006 is configured to ring 1054 in response to a user press on the doorbell button 1002. A supply monitoring signal is generated 1056 by the doorbell camera 106 based on the input AC voltage to indicate whether the input AC voltage is greater than a supply threshold. Based on a value of the supply monitoring signal, a user is notified by the doorbell camera 106 as to whether there is sufficient voltage to power the doorbell. In accordance with the supply monitoring signal, a message is presented by the doorbell camera 106 to a user of the doorbell camera 106 to indicate whether the input AC voltage is low with respect to the supply threshold.

Amazon's home surveillance company Ring is using video captured by its doorbell cameras in Facebook advertisements that ask users to identify and call the cops on a woman whom local police say is a suspected thief. In the video, the woman’s face is clearly visible and there is no obvious criminal activity taking place. The Facebook post shows her passing between two cars. She pulls the door handle of one of the cars, but it is locked. The video freezes on a still of the woman’s face from two different angles: “If you recognize this woman, please contact the Mountain View Police Department … please share with your neighbors,” text superimposed on the video says. In a post alongside the video, Ring urges residents of Mountain View, California to contact the police department if they recognize her.
