Communication protocols used by the radio communication network include, but are not limited to, ZigBee, Z Wave, Insteon, EuOcean, Thread, OSIAN, Bluetooth Low Energy and the like. In some implementations, the hub device 180 not only converts the data received from each smart device to meet the data format requirements of the network interface 160 or the networks 162, but also converts information received from the network interface 160 or the networks 162 to meet the data format requirements of the respective communication protocol associated with a targeted smart device. In some implementations, in addition to data format conversion, the hub device 180 further processes the data received from the smart devices or information received from the network interface 160 or the networks 162 preliminary. For example, the hub device 180 can integrate inputs from multiple sensors/connected devices including sensors/devices of the same and/or different types, perform higher level processing on those inputs—e. g. , to assess the overall environment and coordinate operation among the different sensors/devices—and/or provide instructions to the different devices based on the collection of inputs and programmed processing. It is also noted that in some implementations, the network interface 160 and the hub device 180 are integrated to one network device. Functionality described herein is representative of particular implementations of smart devices, control applications running on representative electronic devices such as a smart phone, hub devices 180, and servers coupled to hub devices via the Internet or other Wide Area Network. All or a portion of this functionality and associated operations can be performed by any elements of the described system—for example, all or a portion of the functionality described herein as being performed by an implementation of the hub device can be performed, in different system implementations, in whole or in part on the server, one or more connected smart devices and/or the control application, or different combinations thereof. FIG. 2B illustrates a representative operating environment in which a server system 164 provides data processing for monitoring and facilitating review of events e.

In some implementations, the client device includes one or more cameras, scanners, or photo sensor units for capturing images not shown. Optionally, the client device includes a location detection device 616, such as a GPS global positioning satellite or other geo location receiver, for determining the location of the client device. The memory 606 includes high speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR SRAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and, optionally, includes non volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, one or more optical disk storage devices, one or more flash memory devices, or one or more other non volatile solid state storage devices. The memory 606, optionally, includes one or more storage devices remotely located from one or more processing units 602. The memory 606, or alternatively the non volatile memory within the memory 606, includes a non transitory computer readable storage medium. In some implementations, the memory 606, or the non transitory computer readable storage medium of the memory 606, stores the following programs, modules, and data structures, or a subset or superset thereof: an operating system 618 including procedures for handling various basic system services and for performing hardware dependent tasks;a network communication module 620 for connecting the client device 220 to other systems and devices e.

There is 720p resolution. The Arlo Pro camera is waterproof, making it a versatile choice for either indoor or outdoor home security surveillance. The rechargeable battery supports fast charging and a seamless swap without requiring your camera to go offline. This home security camera does require the included base station to connect to your router; the base station or “hub” has a loud siren. The Netgear Arlo Pro doesn’t start recording until you request a live feed, or if a motion is detected, which causes a three second lag between real time and the video displayed. There is also two way audio functionality, which means you can hear what’s happening in the room through the built in mic, and you can also speak into the room and be heard through the built in speaker.
