Systems and methods for providing security system information using augmented reality effects

An apparatus for providing security system information using an augmented reality (AR) effect, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled with the memory and configured to:
• receive security system information from at least one security device in an environment, wherein the at least one security device is a surveillance camera, and wherein the security system information is of a first type of security event;
• select, from a plurality of AR effects, a first AR effect that is configured to output information of the first type;
• determine a three-dimensional location in the environment that is associated with the security system information;
• determine dimensions of a portion of the environment captured in a video frame by the surveillance camera;
• generate, for display on a user interface, an AR object of the first AR effect at the three-dimensional location;
• and
• scale the AR object at the three-dimensional location based on the dimensions of the portion, wherein the AR object has a first size in the environment, wherein the environment is of a second size, by:
• adjusting the first size of the AR object to a third size based on a ratio between the second size and the dimensions of the portion.
