The present document describes systems and techniques of a battery heater failsafe circuit in a video-capturing doorbell. In aspects, the battery heater failsafe circuit is configured to monitor a temperature of one or more regions proximate or adjacent to a battery. If, while under software control of a processing unit, a battery heater is activated and, due to a software malfunction, the battery approaches or is equal to an upper threshold temperature, then the battery heater failsafe circuit can override the software-control of the battery heater to disconnect the battery heater from the processing unit and/or the battery. When, as a result, the temperature of the battery equals or drops below a lower threshold temperature, the battery heater failsafe circuit is capable of reconnecting the battery heater to the processing unit and/or the battery sufficient to enable a reactivation of the battery heater and allow heat generation.
