1. A method for an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device, the device including a processor, a camera, and a battery, the method comprising:

  • the processor transitioning from a low-power state to an active state, and then sending a data request to a network device to determine whether a user request to access the camera has been received by the network device;

    upon determining that a user request to access the camera has been received by the network device, then the processor receiving a positive response from the network device, and then the camera capturing video images from a field of view of the camera;

    upon determining that no user request to access the camera has been received by the network device, then the processor receiving a negative response from the network device, and then the processor reverting from the active state to the low-power state, and then waiting for an interval, and then the processor again transitioning from the low-power state to the active state, and then sending another data request to the network device to determine whether a user request to access the camera has been received by the network device; and

    the processor receiving a command from the network device instructing the processor to increase the length of the interval upon determining that an amount of charge left in the battery is below at least one of a first threshold value and a second threshold value less than the first threshold value,wherein;

    the increase in the length of the interval is a first increment when the amount of charge left in the battery is determined to be below the first threshold and above the second threshold; and

    the increase in the length of the interval is the first increment plus a second increment when the amount of charge left in the battery is determined to be below the second threshold.
