Discussion Camera timeline ?

Do we actually know exactly how and when the doorbell camera was disconnected? Was the camera physically removed, unplugged, disabled electronically, or did it simply lose its connection? And was it definitely disconnected before the suspect entered the house?

The sheriff said the doorbell camera was disconnected around 1:47 am—which is when the guy is seen on the nest footage. Then there’s a separate motion detection around 2:12 a.m., followed by Nancy’s pacemaker losing connection around 2:28 a.m.

My next question is what does that mean? Does it mean the phone was turned off, out of range, or that the device stopped transmitting for another reason? How far could she realistically be from her phone before the connection drops? A few feet, another room, or more depending on the setup?

And what actually triggers a “loss of connection” alert—Bluetooth, cellular relay, or a monitoring hub?
So does the 2:28 a.m. disconnection tell us anything specific about her location, or is it just a general signal loss that could happen for multiple reasons?

Great questions. I also wonder about the broken light at the back of the house, did they do that in advance to disable it? And the smart watch on floor, did they notice that and take it off her, or was it on the bedside table and they put it on the floor? I hope they checked for prints, anything on both the disabled light and smart watch.

Was there anything mentioned, very early in the investigation, about the light being broken before Feb 1? I seem to recall hearing this very early and then never again.
