Electronic doorbell system with camera selection
Abstract:
An electronic doorbell system can be configured to allow simultaneous video and audio communication to a user on a computing device in which the video is provided by a camera that is selected from among multiple available cameras provided at different locations, while the audio is provided by a microphone of the doorbell system such as a microphone associated with the doorbell or a selected camera. User input can allow selection of one or more cameras. When multiple cameras are selected, the system can take an audio/video feed from the cameras in predetermined sequence or random sequence based on events observed by the system The camera could be selected by default, based on user input, and/or automatically using artificial intelligence. Selection by artificial intelligence could comprise, for example, selecting a camera based on a detected motion and/or sound, a captured image matching a predetermined image and/or a captured sound matching a predetermined sound.
