In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a substantially opaque area that is distinct from the button opening 710, the microphone aperture 716 and the camera opening or transparent area 712. The microphone 1104 is optionally concealed under the substantially opaque area. Further, in some implementations, an array of IR illuminators 1105 are disposed under the substantially opaque area of the front cover plate 708 and configured to illuminate a field of view of the lens assembly 704 with infrared light in a night mode. In an example, the array of IR illuminators 1105 include a number of e. g. , twelve LEDs arranged in a row. The row of IR illuminators 1105 provide adequate illumination without producing a bright red/visible glow that would result from fewer and more powerful IR illuminators. In some implementations, the lens assembly 704 is supported by a lens holder 1120 within the device housing 702, and the lens holder 1120 has a top edge raised towards the front cover plate 708 for blocking the infrared light generated by the array of IR illuminators 1105 from entering the lens assembly 704 directly. In some implementations, the IR illuminators 1105 include IR LEDs having a wavelength of 940 nanometers. In some implementations, the IR illuminators 1105 include IR LEDs having a wavelength of 850 nanometers. In some implementations, the image sensor for the doorbell camera 106 is less sensitive to 940 nm light than it is to 850 nm light.
