Such a doorbell camera also complements, replaces and/or expands
conventional doorbell functions based on these processing and communication capabilities. The doorbell camera is mounted on or in proximity to a doorframe where a conventional doorbell may be mounted, and is electrically coupled to a power supply
that may have been used to power the conventional doorbell. Specifically, the doorbell camera has one or more of a speaker, a microphone, a lens assembly, an image sensor, a waterproof device housing, a waterproof button assembly, light emitting diodes LEDs, infrared IR illuminators, a rechargeable battery and corresponding compensation circuit, an adjustable mounting plate, antennas and transceivers, a processor, and memory storing programs executed by the processor. In one aspect, a method is implemented for controlling a doorbell camera having a doorbell housing and a doorbell button mounted on a front cover plate of the doorbell housing. The doorbell housing contains a camera module, an LED indicator, a processor and memory including programs executed by the processor. The doorbell camera is electrically coupled to a remote chime via a bypass unit powered by a transformer that provides an input AC voltage. The remote chime is configured to ring in response to a user press on the doorbell button. A supply monitoring signal is generated based on the input AC voltage to indicate whether the input AC voltage is greater than a supply threshold. In accordance with the supply monitoring signal, the LED indicator displays on a surface of the doorbell housing one of a set of predetermined visual patterns, thereby sending a visual message to a user of the doorbell camera to indicate whether the input AC voltage is low with respect to the supply threshold. In some implementations, the camera module is configured to in accordance with a determination that the input AC voltage is not greater than the supply threshold, disable capturing images and exchanging data with a remote server, and enable communication with a client device via a short range communication link. Alternatively, in some implementations, the camera module is configured to activate a low power mode in accordance with a determination that the input AC voltage is not greater than the supply threshold.

Each of the first and second
open slots 802 and 804 is configured to receive a body of a fastener e. g. , a screw and block an enlarged head of the fastener. Each of the first and second open slots has a respective width that is larger than a first width of the body of the fastener and smaller than a second width of the enlarged head of the fastener. When the mounting plate 800 is being mounted to a surface, the respective fasteners are fastened onto the surface via the first and second open slots, thereby holding the mounting plate 800 between the enlarged heads of the fasteners and the surface. Before the respective fasteners are tightened onto the surface, a position of the mounting plate 800 is adjusted by moving the mounting plate 800, including the first and second open slots, with respect to the respective fasteners. The first and second open slots 802 and 804 can therefore define two perpendicular directions of adjustment for the position of the mounting plate 800, and each of these two perpendicular directions of adjustment is associated with a respective range of adjustment defined according to a longitudinal size of the respective open slot. Further, in some implementations, the heads of the fasteners fastened into the first and second open slots 802 and 804 rises beyond the front surface of the mounting plate 800 by a head height. Referring to FIG. 7B, the rear exterior surface of the device
housing 702 may include a second recess 724B and a third recess 724C configured to cover the heads of the fasteners fastened into the first and second open slots 802 and 804, when the device housing 702 is mounted onto the mounting plate 800. Each of the second and third recess 724B and 724C may have a respective depth substantially greater than the respective head height of the fasteners fastened into the first and second open slots 802 and 804.
