First Claim
1. A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property, the monitoring system comprising:
- a sensor that is located at the property and that is configured to generate sensor data;
a camera that is configured to capture video data; and
a monitoring control unit that is configured to;
receive, from the sensor, the sensor data;
receive, from the camera, the video data;
based on the sensor data and the video data, determine that a vehicle is in a vicinity of the property;
compare frames of the video data to an image of a known vehicle;
based on comparing the frames of the video data to the image of the known vehicle, determine a confidence score that reflects a likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle;
based on determining that the confidence score that reflects the likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle satisfies a confidence score threshold, identify an action that is performed by the vehicle by;
identifying a series of high beam and low beam headlight emissions from the vehicle;
oridentifying a left hand side indicator switching on for a first period of time followed by a right hand side indicator switching on for a second period of time;
identify a monitoring system action that corresponds to the action performed by the vehicle; and
perform the monitoring system action.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, including receiving, by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property and from a sensor of the monitoring system, sensor data, receiving video data, determining that a vehicle is in a vicinity of the property based on the sensor data and the video data, comparing frames of the video data to an image of a known vehicle, determining a confidence score that reflects a likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle, based on determining that the confidence score that reflects the likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle satisfies a confidence score threshold, identifying an action that is performed by the vehicle, identifying a monitoring system action that corresponds to the action performed by the vehicle, and performing the monitoring system action.

16. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property and from a sensor of the monitoring system, sensor data; receiving, by the monitoring system and from a camera, video data; determining, by the monitoring system, that a vehicle is in a vicinity of the property based on the sensor data and the video data; comparing, by the monitoring system, frames of the video data to an image of a known vehicle; based on comparing the frames of the video data to the image of the known vehicle, determining, by the monitoring system, a confidence score that reflects a likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle; based on determining that the confidence score that reflects the likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle satisfies a confidence score threshold, identifying, by the monitoring system, an action that is performed by the vehicle by; identifying a series of high beam and low beam headlight emissions from the vehicle;
oridentifying a left hand side indicator switching on for a first period of time followed by a right hand side indicator switching on for a second period of time; identifying a monitoring system action that corresponds to the action performed by the vehicle; and performing the monitoring system action. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
