Motion Sensor
These nodes tend to be smaller than spokesman nodes and typically only communicate using wireless protocols that require very little power,
such as Zigbee, ZWave, 6LoWPAN, Thread, Bluetooth, etc. As described, in some implementations, the smart devices serve as low power and spokesman nodes to create a mesh network in the smart home environment 100. In some implementations, individual low power nodes in the smart home environment regularly send out messages regarding what they are sensing, and the other low powered nodes in the smart home environment—in addition to sending out their own messages—forward the messages,
thereby causing the messages to travel from node to node i. e. , device to device throughout the smart home network 202. In some implementations, the spokesman nodes in the smart home network 202, which are able to communicate using a relatively high power communication protocol, such as IEEE 802. 11, are able to switch to a relatively low power communication protocol, such as IEEE 802. 15. 4, to receive these messages, For example, you can create rules to have the lights turn on when motion is detected, have your doors unlock when a smoke alarm goes off, and have a camera begin recording when a sensor is triggered.Some systems store recorded video locally on an SD card or a solid state drive, while others offer cloud storage.Locally stored video is a good choice for do it yourselfers on a budget, but you have to be careful not to

I once again called Vivint and was told that we would need to have a repeater installed between the camera and the panel.
