Abstract
A video recording and communication device includes a camera, a processor, a radar sensor, and memory. The processor executes instructions from memory to cause the device to operate the sensor in a first operational mode in which the camera is maintained in a low-power mode. The processor further detects, using the sensor in the first mode, possible motion of an object within a threshold distance from the sensor. Responsive to the detecting, the processor transitions the sensor from the first mode to a second operational mode. The second mode consumes more power than the first mode. The processor determines, using the radar sensor in the second mode, that the possible motion of the object occurred in a region of interest, in response to which, it transitions the sensor from the second mode to a third operational mode. The third mode consumes more power mode than the second mode.
