System and method for managing a surveillance system

A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving security video content associated with a premises, the security video content having been captured by a camera located within or in proximity to the premises, wherein the security video content is provided to a digital video recorder (DVR), wherein the DVR stores the security video content;
• obtaining motion sensor information from a plurality of motion sensors located within or in proximity to the premises;
• detecting in the security video content an undesired condition associated with the premises in response to analyzing the security video content using video recognition to determine an object is being moved within the premises and in response to detecting movement within the premises from analyzing the motion sensor information;
• and
• responsive to the detecting the undesired condition, sending instructions to the DVR to send the security video content to a communication device that is remote from the premises, wherein a transceiver receives the security video and formats the security video for display on the communication device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a processing system including processor, security video content associated with a premises, the security video content having been captured by a camera located within or in proximity to the premises, wherein the security video content is provided to a digital video recorder (DVR), wherein the DVR stores the security video content;
• obtaining, by the processing system, motion sensor information from a plurality of motion sensors located within or in proximity to the premises;
• detecting, by the processing system, in the security video content an undesired condition associated with the premises in response to analyzing the security video content using video recognition to determine an object is being moved within the premises and in response to detecting movement within the premises from analyzing the motion sensor information;
• and
• responsive, by the processing system, to the detecting the undesired condition, sending instructions to the DVR to send the security video content to a communication device that is remote from the premises, wherein a transceiver receives the security video content and presents a graphical user interface onto the communication device, and wherein the graphical user interface comprises the security video content.
