Abstract

A method includes generating, by a camera of a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property, first image data at a first time, analyzing the first image data, determining that the first image data includes a first object that likely corresponds to a person, generating, second image data at a second, later time, analyzing the second image data, determining that the second image includes a second object that likely corresponds to a person, comparing the first object that likely corresponds to a person to the second object that likely corresponds to a person, based on comparing the first object that likely corresponds to a person to the second object that likely corresponds to a person and based on a difference between the first time and the second, later time, determining that a person is likely moving towards the camera, and performing a monitoring system action.
