Abstract
A source of a sound is located by two or more computing devices (e.g., A/V recording and communication devices) using microphones and radio frequency communication among the computing devices. The location of the source is determined based on at least a time difference between a time that a notification from a first computing device regarding the sound arrives at a second computing device, and a time of detecting the sound at the second computing device. Additional data may be collected and/or other actions may be taken in response to locating the source of the sound.
