Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for detecting synchronization errors between audio and video signals. Scene changes may be detected based on anchor frames. Offsets between a scene change in a video signal and a reduced audio level or burst of high audio level in the audio signal may indicate a synchronization error.

Audio video synchronization

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for using one or more components of a device, such as a camera, to generate complementary heat for the device, such as a camera lens of the device. In one aspect this can be accomplished by activating the one or more components and/or by causing the one or more components to operate in a particular manner expected to generate heat. The generated heat may be instead of or in addition to heat generated by one or more dedicated heaters. The selected components may produce heat as an incidental effect for performing other functions of the device.

Device temperature control using device components

A system for storing and moving data based on the location of a user or a change in location of a user is described herein. Data associated with a user may be stored at one or more storage devices associated with a location of the user. Some or all of the data associated with the user may be moved to one or more other storage devices if, for example, the user moves to a different location or is expected to move to a different location, so that the user's data may be more efficiently accessed by the user.

Moveable storage

A device (e.g., a security device, a video doorbell, a security camera, etc.) may receive an input voltage and based on the input voltage may determine the input power available to the device. The device may access various power level requirements associated with one or more functional components associated with the device. The device may then determine one or more functional components to activate or set to an active status on the device based on the input power available to the device, component power level requirements for one or more of the functional components, and other factors such as priority levels and preferences.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for power management of a video doorbell

A communications access point may provide access to a wireless communications network to a user device located at a first location. The communications access point may determine that the user device is moving from the first location to a second location where access to the wireless network is limited or not available. In response to the determination, the communications access point may provide access to the wireless network at the second location by extending a coverage area of the wireless network.
