1. A system comprising:
a wireless communication system; and
a security system communicatively coupled with the wireless communication system, the security system configured to operate in a shipping mode, a sleep mode, and an alert mode, the security system having a camera, and a motion detector, the security system having one or more detection zones, each detection zone defined by a portion of a field of view of the camera, and the security system configured to cause the wireless communication system to transmit data to a remote computing device in response to detection of a visitor in the one or more detection zones via the camera, the motion detector, or both; and
the remote computing device communicatively coupled with the wireless communication system, the security system, or both;
wherein in the shipping mode, the camera, the motion detector, or both, are inactive,
wherein in the sleep mode, the camera, the motion detector, or both, are active, and transmission of the data from the security system to the remote computing device is disabled;
wherein in the alert mode, the camera, the motion detector, or both are active, wherein the detection of the visitor initiates transmission of data to the remote computing device;
wherein in the sleep mode, the security system has a lower power consumption relative to the alert mode; and
wherein in the shipping mode, i) the security system has a lower power consumption relative to the sleep mode, and ii) the security system is configured to detect whether the security system is electrically coupled to an external power source, so as to enable the security system to exit the shipping mode.
