In some implementations, the smart device 204 includes a doorbell camera 106, and the doorbell camera 106 has physical features that can provide real time camera status information and/or audio/visual content that indicates or complements camera processing activity, to occupants of the environment without disturbing operation of the camera or the occupants. In some implementations, such physical features include a light ring that is provided at a periphery of a front cover, a periphery of a camera lens, or a periphery of a button on the doorbell camera 106, and is configured to be visible to occupants of the environment from a wide range of positions in the environment. For example, in some implementations, the light ring is configured to be visible in a range of positions that include at least areas of the environment that fall within the camera's field of view. In some implementations, the light ring has a plurality of individual lighting elements, each having associated lighting characteristics that are individually controllable to reflect local camera status and/or a camera processing state/operation. In some configurations, the controllable lighting characteristics include one or more of on/off state, hue, saturation and/or brightness/intensity. In some configurations, the lighting elements are controlled individually to display an overall pattern e. g. , an entire ring or one or more portions of a ring that can be static or dynamic e. g. , one or more rotating portions of a ring consisting of a single displayed color or two or more different displayed colors. Each of the patterns can conform to a visual language and correspond to a camera status and/or a camera processing operation.

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.
