Abstract
A control device for a premises security system is provided. The control device includes processing circuitry configured to receive a plurality of video streams associated with the plurality of image capture devices, stitch together at least a portion of the plurality of video streams to generate a three-dimensional (3D) view, determine an alarm event associated with the premises security system, and overlay at least one virtual object onto the 3D view, where the at least one virtual object indicates the alarm event and data associated with the alarm event.

A control device for a premises security system including a plurality of image capture devices, the control device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a plurality of video streams associated with the plurality of image capture devices;
- stitch together at least a portion of the plurality of video streams to generate a three-dimensional (3D) view;
- determine an alarm event associated with the premises security system;
- overlay at least one virtual object onto the 3D view, the at least one virtual object indicating the alarm event and data associated with the alarm event;
- determine that a first portion of the 3D view fails to meet a predefined lighting condition;
- activate at least one light generating device at the premises and proximate a location corresponding to the first portion of the 3D view, the activation of the at least one light generating device being configured to provide light to the location, the light generating device being different from the plurality of image capture devices;
- and
- after the activation of at least one light generating device at the premises, regenerate at least a portion of the 3D view.
A method implemented by a control device for a premises security system, the premises security system including a plurality of image capture devices, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of video streams associated with the plurality of image capture devices;
- stitching together at least a portion of the plurality of video streams to generate a three-dimensional (3D) view;
- determining an alarm event associated with the premises security system;
- overlaying at least one virtual object onto the 3D view, the at least one virtual object indicating the alarm event and data associated with the alarm event;
- determining that a first portion of the 3D view fails to meet a predefined lighting condition;
- activating at least one light generating device at the premises and proximate a location corresponding to the first portion of the 3D view, the activation of the at least one light generating device being configured to provide light to the location, the light generating device being different from the plurality of image capture devices;
- and
- after the activation of at least one light generating device at the premises, regenerating at least a portion of the 3D view.
