Patent attributes
A security device has user-configurable motion detection settings. The security device includes at least one camera configured to capture sequential frames of image data within a field of view; at least one processor; memory communicatively coupled with the processor(s); a location setting, stored in the memory, defining whether or not the security device is located at a common access area; and machine readable instructions stored in the memory. The machine readable instructions are executable by the processor(s) to determine the image data indicates motion; and determine that the motion indicates lingering presence at the common access area. In certain embodiments, the machine readable instructions are executable by the processor(s) to determine, from the image data, that the average ambient light over a daily period varies less than a light variation threshold, and configure the location setting to indicate that the security device is located at the common access area.
