Accordingly, there is a need for systems and/or devices with more efficient, accurate, and effective methods for mounting, powering and operating a smart electronic device in an outdoor environment. A convenient and efficient approach is to integrate the smart electronic device into an existing outdoor electronic device, such that the smart electronic device can take advantage of existing infrastructures of the outdoor electronic device for mounting, powering and operating the smart electronic device. For example, a camera module can be integrated with a doorbell device, providing its functions of illuminating, capturing, and analyzing scenes, among other things in addition to doorbell functions. Such systems, devices, and methods optionally complement or replace conventional systems, devices, and methods for illuminating, capturing, and analyzing scenes. The present disclosure describes compact doorbell camera implementations having capabilities of high power on camera processing, low light e. g. , 204 9. Some of the smart devices in the smart home environment 100 are battery powered, while others have a regular and reliable power source, such as by connecting to wiring e. g. , to 120V or 240V line voltage wires behind the walls 154 of the smart home environment. The smart devices that have a regular and reliable power source are referred to as “spokesman” nodes.
