1. A security system, comprising:
a doorbell comprising: a button, one or more processors, a communication interface, a camera, and a speaker, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
upon the button being pressed, transmit a wireless communication via the communication interface to indicate a presence of a person proximate to the doorbell;
cause the communication interface to wirelessly stream video data captured by the camera to a server located remotely from a premises at which the doorbell is installed, wherein the server stores profile data for a plurality of individuals, the profile data being created based on facial recognition information collected over time;
in response to detecting a person approaching the doorbell, identify the person as a familiar person using facial recognition on the video data and the profile data for the plurality of individuals; and
the server, configured to:
in response to identifying the person as the familiar person, cause a mobile device notification that indicates the identified person as familiar to be transmitted to a registered mobile device associated with a home at which the doorbell is located for presentation; and
cause, via a speaker device within the home, an announcement to be made of a name of the identified person.
