Wireless Entrance Communication Device
First Claim
1. A device for communicating, comprising:
- a housing including a camera, a microphone, a speaker, a button, a battery, non-volatile memory, a processor, and a wireless communications module,wherein the non-volatile memory stores code operable by the processor for;
switching the processor from low-power mode to active mode in response to an activation trigger;
receiving, from the one of the microphone and the camera, outbound audio and video signals, then sending a signal to a server via the wireless communications module during active mode, the signal including one or more of an alert signal, a signal based on the outbound audio signal, and a signal based on the outbound video signal;
receiving from the server an inbound audio signal and outputting a signal based on the inbound audio signal via the speaker; and
switching the processor from active mode to low-power mode in response to a deactivation trigger.
