1. A doorbell system comprising a battery-powered doorbell, the battery-powered doorbell comprising:
a doorbell housing;
a speaker coupled to the doorbell housing;
a visitor detection system coupled to the doorbell housing, the visitor detection system including a button, a camera, a microphone, and a motion detector;
a first low-energy transceiver, configured to transmit data in a first local area network, coupled to the doorbell housing, the first low-energy transceiver configured to activate in response to the battery-powered doorbell performing an action selected from the group consisting of sending a first transmission in the first local area network that is less than a predetermined transmission threshold and receiving a second transmission in the first local area network that is less than the predetermined transmission threshold; and
a first high-energy transceiver coupled to the doorbell housing, configured to transmit data in a second local area network, wherein the first high-energy transceiver is configured to deactivate in response to activation of the first low-energy transceiver, the first low-energy transceiver and the first high-energy transceiver being selected in connection with an automated process determined by a processor based on energy consumption requirements.
