The various implementations described herein include a video camera assembly that includes: (1) a housing; (2) an image sensor encased in the housing and configured to capture activity of the smart home environment; (3) a wireless radio configured to transmit video frames captured by the image sensor to an electronic device via a remote server; (4) at least one infrared transmitter configured to selectively illuminate the smart home environment; (5) one or more circuit boards encased in the housing, the one or more circuit boards including at least one processor mounted thereon; and (6) a heating component coupled to the image sensor, the heating component configured to continuously maintain the image sensor at a temperature above a threshold temperature while the image sensor is capturing the activity of the smart home environment.

Outdoor camera assembly

A method for guiding installation of smart-home devices may include capturing, by a camera of a mobile computing device, a view of an installation location for a smart-home device; rendering, by the mobile computing device, a view of a virtual object that represents a real-world obstruction that will interfere with the operation or installation of the smart-home device; and displaying, by the mobile computing device, the view of a virtual object that represents real-world obstruction with the view of the installation location on the display of the mobile computing device.

Smart-home device placement and installation using augmented-reality visualizations

A method for guiding installation of smart-home devices may include capturing, by a camera of a mobile computing device, a view of an installation location for a smart-home device; determining, by the mobile computing device, an instruction for installing the smart-home device at the location; and displaying, by a display of the mobile computing device, the view of the installation location for a smart-home device with the instruction for installing the smart-home device.

Medication adherence apparatus

A method for guiding installation of smart-home devices may include capturing, by a camera of a mobile computing device, a view of an installation location for a smart-home device; identifying a wire in the view of the installation location for the smart-home device; determining an instruction for connecting the wire to the smart-home device; and displaying the view of the installation location for a smart-home device with the instruction for connecting the wire to the smart-home device.

A method for optimizing the placement of smart-home devices may include receiving, by a mobile computing device, a location for a smart-home device, where the mobile computing device comprises a display and a camera; rendering a view of a virtual object that represents a field-of-view of the smart-home device, where the view of the virtual object is rendered based on a position corresponding to a position of the mobile computing device; and displaying, by the mobile computing device, the view of a virtual object that represents a field-of-view of the smart-home device on the display of the mobile computing device.

Temperature-controlled camera assembly

A housing can include a first part and a second part. Each of the first part and the second part can include a first surface, a second surface, a third surface, a fourth surface, and a fifth surface. The second surface can form a first edge with the first surface. The third surface can form a second edge with the second surface. The fourth surface can form a third edge with the third surface. The first part can be attached, via an attachment, to the second part so that the first surfaces form an exterior surface of the housing, the second surfaces abut each other, the third surfaces abut each other, the fourth surfaces abut each other, and the fifth surfaces define an interior space of the housing. The attachment can be within the interior space and can include an ultrasonic weld. The housing can house an antenna.
