Input functionality for audio/video recording and communication doorbells

Abstract:

A method includes receiving, by a processor of an audio/video recording and communication device (A/V device), an input in response to a press or a touch of a button of the A/V device. The method further includes determining, by the processor based on the input, that the button was pressed or touched for a threshold period of time. Upon determining that the button was pressed or touched for the threshold period of time, the method further includes activating, by the processor, a command input mode. During the command input mode the processor analyzes visual data captured by a camera of the A/V device. The method further includes determining, by the processor based on the visual data, a command input entered during the command input mode. The method further includes executing, by the processor, an action based on the command input.
