As such, there is a need to mechanically mount a smart device to an outdoor surface in a compact and robust manner and with a convenient access to a power supply source, while incorporating into the smart device some resistance mechanisms against potential severe weather conditions. Accordingly, there is a need for systems and/or devices with more efficient, accurate, and effective methods for mounting, powering and operating a smart
electronic device in an outdoor environment. A convenient and efficient approach is to integrate the smart electronic device into an existing outdoor electronic device, such that the smart electronic device can take advantage of existing infrastructures of the outdoor electronic device for mounting, powering and operating the smart electronic device. For example, a camera module can be integrated with a doorbell device, providing its functions of illuminating, capturing, and analyzing scenes, among other things in addition to doorbell functions. Such systems, devices, and methods optionally complement or replace conventional systems, devices, and methods for illuminating, capturing, and analyzing scenes. The present disclosure describes compact doorbell camera implementations having capabilities of high power on camera processing, low light e. g. , night time illumination, concurrent transmission of multiple HD video streams, and
wirelessly communication with other devices over multiple protocols e. g. , Wi Fi, Bluetooth, and IEEE 802. 15.

I would say the longest part is the 5 or so minutes it has to charge the internal battery, after that it only
takes a minute or two to get it all setup and configured. The LED lights are extremely helpful in knowing what the device is doing during setup along the way. It comes with a little card showing all the possible light combinations in the box. Weather/ReliabilityMy SkyBell HD has been through the rainy season and I can tell you now that the water had no effect on my device, seems great no matter what the weather was. Occasionally a very windy day will trigger the motion on the SkyBell if the tree in front of my camera is really moving, but it is unusual. Motion DetectionRegarding motion detection I have many comments on this but I will try to keep it on point. I have reached out to SkyBell a couple times on this for assistance and they have been awesome to explain how the motion detection works and why I have experienced certain things happening. My SkyBell device sits in a location that will not be able to see the person until they are practically right on top of it which makes things very tricky for motion detection compared to a standard
porch where it can see someone approaching. The SkyBell works by detecting motion the first time, and then if it detects a second trip of the motion within X number of seconds it triggers the alert. Therefore, my front porch has the issue of people only being on my porch for a matter of seconds and being gone. Originally when I got the device I was only capturing anyone walking near it in a slow fashion and taking their time, however if someone was being fast such as the UPS man, it would often be triggered right at the time the person was leaving and I would just see someone exiting the frame.
