Abstract
An example security sensor includes a battery power supply, camera coupled to the battery power supply to receive power, activity sensor, processor, and microcontroller. The processor is placed in a sleep state and is wakeable to an awake state. The processor coupled to the battery power supply, and coupled to the camera to receive and process image data including images of an activity within a zone. The microcontroller is coupled to the battery power supply, coupled to the activity sensor to receive interrupts responsive to detection by the activity sensor of the activity within the zone proximate the security sensor, coupled to the processor to send and receive data, and, responsive to receiving a first interrupt from the activity sensor, place the processor in an awake state to signal the camera to capture a set of images and to receive and process the image data including the set of images.
