Configurable motion detection and alerts for audio/video recording and communication devices
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a display of a computing device, a diagram of a field of view about the A/V recording and communication device;
determining whether an input has been received to adjust a motion alert range of the A/V recording and communication device;
when an input has been received to adjust the motion alert range of the A/V recording and communication device, increasing or decreasing the motion alert range of the A/V recording and communication device;
determining whether an input has been received to adjust a motion detection range of the A/V recording and communication device;
when an input has been received to adjust the motion detection range of the A/V recording and communication device, increasing or decreasing the motion detection range of the A/V recording and communication device;
determining whether an input has been received to save any changed settings; and
when an input has been received to save any changed settings, saving the changed settings.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for separating the motion detection zone(s) of an A/V recording and communication device from the motion alert zone(s) of the A/V recording and communication device. For example, an A/V recording and communication device may be configured to generate motion alerts, and to record audio and video footage, when an event is detected within a selected motion alert zone (e.g., within a defined radius around the A/V recording and communication device). However, the A/V recording and communication device may not generate a motion alert for an event detected outside of the selected motion alert zone, even though the device may still record audio and video footage for the detected event (e.g., when the event is within a selected motion detection zone).

9. A non-transitory machine readable medium of an electronic device storing an application executable by at least one processing unit of the electronic device, the application comprising sets of instructions for:
-
displaying, on a display of a computing device, a diagram of a field of view about the A/V recording and communication device; determining whether an input has been received to toggle on or off a motion alert zone of the A/V recording and communication device; when an input has been received to toggle on or off a motion alert zone of the A/V recording and communication device, toggling on or off a selected motion alert zone of the A/V recording and communication device; determining whether an input has been received to toggle on or off a motion detection zone of the A/V recording and communication device; when an input has been received to toggle on or off a motion detection zone of the A/V recording and communication device, toggling on or off a selected motion detection zone of the A/V recording and communication device; determining whether an input has been received to save any changed settings; and when an input has been received to save any changed settings, saving the changed settings. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device, the A/V recording and communication device including a camera, a processor, and a communication module, the method comprising:
-
detecting motion within a field of view of the camera of the A/V recording and communication device; recording video images captured within the field of view of the camera of the A/V recording and communication device; determining, at the processor, whether the detected motion is within a defined radius around the A/V recording and communication device; and when the detected motion is within the defined radius around the A/V recording and communication device, transmitting, by the communication module, a motion alert to at least one client device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
