The number of connected smart home battery-operated devices is increasing as consumers retrofit their homes with IoT devices without power cabling.
Device makers are striving to make their battery-operated smart home products more power-efficient while maintaining quick responsiveness.
This paper discusses issues and considerations for connected smart home battery-operated devices, focusing on a case study of an Internet Protocol (IP) camera design.
Design principles for lowering power consumption can also be applied to other applications like smart doorbells, smart door locks, and smart thermostats.
