The camera module 1004 further includes a lens assembly 704 and an image sensor array that are configured to capture images at a premises, and a wireless transceiver that is configured to exchange data with a remote server over one or more wireless communication networks. The doorbell button 1002 is configured to trigger a remote chime 1006 in response to a user press on a button top 702. In some implementations, the LED indicator is configured to illuminate through a peripheral edge 1040 of the doorbell button 1002 that surrounds the button top 702. The doorbell camera 106 is electrically coupled to the remote chime 1006 via a bypass unit 1012 powered by a transformer 1010 that provides an input AC voltage e. g. , by converting a mains power supply of 110V to the input AC voltage of 8V, 10V or 12V. The remote chime 1006 is configured to ring in response to a press on the doorbell button 1002. In some circumstances, a conventional doorbell is electrically coupled to the remote chime 1006 that is further coupled to the transformer 1010. When the doorbell camera 106 replaces the conventional doorbell, the remote chime 1006 is disconnected from the transformer 1010 and the doorbell, and replaced by the bypass unit 1010. Stated another way, wires 1014 and 1016 that are used to couple the doorbell chime 1006 for the conventional doorbell are reconnected to the bypass unit 1012. The bypass unit 1012 has two additional wires 1018 and 1020 that are further connected to the remote chime 1006.

”Pam Petrow, Vector Security, also senses change in the wind. “Consumers’ willingness to take on responsibility for some aspects of monitoring will continue to change the industry. Whether it is a DIY with 100 percent self monitoring, or some subset of events the customer self monitors, this will impact the next evolution of monitoring. In addition, the way the monitoring centers communicate with the consumer is evolving … to be more responsive to consumers, communicating with them via the venues they prefer — this relates to alarm response, service requests, billing payment options, and even sales. ”Staying current is top of mind for most manufacturers, but with so much outside of the industry competition, it is even more critical for residential security manufacturers and their dealers. “That is what guides our product development going forward,” NAPCO's Jorge Hevia says. “We want to leverage those ecosystems that exist out there with the Internet and smartphones and everything that is already in place and still come out with products that keep our professional installers relevant. We have seen a lot in 2016 with DIY and other direct to consumer models. What we are going to concentrate on is enhancing professional security or connected home experience. ”From voice to video, the “it” technology of the moment has a positive effect on dealers, says Greg Blackett, of Tyco Security Products. “A lot of these products drive interest in security.
