Non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for implementation by one or more processors, the instructions comprising:
- receiving an indication that a user has unlocked a lockbox associated with a property;
- accessing an authorization log to determine whether the user has permission to enter the property at a current time, wherein the authorization log comprises a listing of persons with authorization to access the property on certain dates and times;
- in response to receiving the indication, deactivating a component of a surveillance system installed at the property, wherein the component of the surveillance system comprises one or more of a camera, an alarm, or a motion sensor;
