Security system keypad

A camera can include a box housing, a rotatable mechanical mechanism carried within the box housing, and a sensor board carried by the rotatable mechanical mechanism. The rotatable mechanical mechanism can rotate the sensor board from a first orientation to a second orientation to switch the camera from operating in a normal mode to operating in a corridor mode. Additionally or alternatively, the camera can include a CMOS sensor and an accelerometer sensor carried by the sensor board and firmware carried by the box housing. The firmware can identify a first direction of the CMOS sensor, receive a signal from the accelerometer sensor identifying a second direction of gravity, compare the first direction and the second direction, and, responsive thereto, rotate an image captured by the camera to switch the camera from operating in the normal mode to operating in the corridor mode.

Systems and methods for automatically switching a surveillance camera into an auto corridor mode

An apparatus and method to control transmission of a sequence of a video call or communication. An individual participating in a video call or communication can shade a video input port of a camera to switch from a video call or communication to an audio only call or communication. A control element can be provided to reinstate transmission of the video component of the call or communication.
