This invention describes a smart door system that integrates a camera, light, and sensor directly into the door and its frame. These electronic components are wired through a flexible conduit hidden in the hinge area, with a backup battery configured to power only a subset of them during a power outage. A control system can activate the light from a user's device or automatically turn on the light and camera when the sensor detects sound or activity.
Why it matters: Given the short two-year gap since filing, the core technologies for integrating cameras, sensors, and power into a door system haven't fundamentally changed. The primary challenge remains the robust and aesthetic integration of these components into a durable door and jamb structure.
