For example, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has warned of a secretive surveillance tool being used by the FBI which acts as a face cellular tower. These devices, called Stingrays, lets the government search large geographical areas for a particular cell phone signal. In the process however, the devices collect information on thousands of other cell phone signals belonging to unassociated people, which happen to also be located in the same area. More recently local law enforcement personnel have used the device in order to avoid limitation provided in the Constitution including the requirement the issuance of individualized warrants Cox. While in the novel 1984 surveillance of the population is presented as something the government puts into place to control the society for the governments benefit, the reality in today’s world is that data mining of social network pages, email, location information, individual search histories and data bases that include information of interrelated people goes beyond governmental involvement. Termed participatory surveillance, individuals using sites such as Facebook voluntarily provide personal information about themselves in a profile and knowingly give permission for other sites to access their profiles in order to gain access to news, weather, and other information or even to be able to play games online. Most social networking sites ask their users to provide these kinds of details. This information commonly appears in casual digital conversations within given social networking communication platforms.

In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a camera opening 712 configured to expose the lens assembly 704. A top edge of the lens assembly 704 e. g. , a periphery of a cover glass 705 of the lens assembly 704 forms a water tight seal with an edge of the camera opening 712. Alternatively, in some implementations, the front cover plate 708 may not have the camera opening, but includes at least a substantially transparent area 712. The lens assembly 704 is disposed under the substantially transparent area 712 to receive light e. g. , visible and infrared light passing through the transparent area 712. Further, in some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a microphone aperture 716, and a microphone 1104 is disposed under the front cover plate 708 and coupled to the microphone aperture 716 to receive sound wave entering the microphone aperture 716. In some implementations, the doorbell camera 106 further includes an ALS assembly 714 disposed under the cover glass 705 of the lens assembly 704. The ALS assembly 714 optionally includes a light pipe to direct light entering the lens assembly 704 to an ALS and ALS interface circuit that are optionally located with a distance from the lens assembly 704.
