g. , smart devices of the smart home environment 100. Each of these smart devices optionally communicates with the hub device 180 using one or more radio communication networks available at least in the smart home environment 100 e. g. , ZigBee, Z Wave, Insteon, Bluetooth, Wi Fi and other radio communication networks. In some implementations, the hub device 180 and devices coupled with/to the hub device can be controlled and/or interacted with via an application running on a smart phone, household controller, laptop, tablet computer, game console or similar electronic device. In some implementations, a user of such controller application can view status of the hub device or coupled smart devices, configure the hub device to interoperate with smart devices newly introduced to the home network, commission new smart devices, and adjust or view settings of connected smart devices, etc. In some implementations the hub device extends capabilities of low capability smart device to match capabilities of the highly capable smart devices of the same type, integrates functionality of multiple different device types—even across different communication protocols, and is configured to streamline adding of new devices and commissioning of the hub device. In some implementations, hub device 180 further includes a local storage device for storing data related to, or output by, smart devices of smart home environment 100. In some implementations, the data includes one or more of: video data output by a camera device, metadata output by a smart device, settings information for a smart device, usage logs for a smart device, and the like. In some implementations, smart home environment 100 includes a local storage device 190 for storing data related to, or output by, smart devices of smart home environment 100.

Thanks to 8x digital zoom, a 'smart siren' and a powerful Night Vision mode, there's no corner of your home you can't keep a close eye on from the system's app or web interface, giving you ultimate peace of mind. The only downside is that the set up can be tricky and it's not the most intuitive security system on the market either. 99 View at Amazon$179. 99View at Newegg$199. 99View at WalmartSee all prices 12 found?A collaboration with designer Yves Béhar, the Hive View is one of the few security cameras we’ve ever seen that actually looks stylish, coming as it does in a choice of champagne gold or black and brushed copper finishes. Thankfully, as much effort has gone into the substance as the style, and the Hive View comes with some really cool features.

Such a substantially large camera opening or transparent area 712 enables a substantially wide angle view for the doorbell camera 106 when a wide angle lens assembly is applied. In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a substantially opaque area that is distinct from the substantially transparent area of the camera opening 712. An interior surface of the substantially opaque area is painted with dark color ink e. g. , black ink. The dark color ink could be transparent to infrared light, such that the substantially opaque area is opaque to visible light and transparent to infrared light. In an example, the interior surface of the front cover plate 708 is entirely covered by the ink except the button opening 710 exposing the button top 706 and the substantially transparent area 712 covering the lens assembly 704. Further, in some implementations, the doorbell camera 106 includes an array of IR illuminators not shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. The IR illuminators can be disposed below any portion behind the substantially opaque area. The IR illuminators are concealed under the front cover plate 708, but light generated by the IR illuminators can still penetrate the front cover plate 708 to illuminate the field of view of the doorbell camera 106.
