Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising determining, by a processor of a control panel, that a security event has happened; and capturing still images or videos by a camera in the control panel subsequent to determining that the security event has happened. In some implementations, the camera is a forward-facing camera. In some implementations, determining that the security event has happened comprises detecting a motion using the camera in the control panel. In some implementations, determining that the security event has happened comprises receiving a signal indicative of activation of a door switch of a door located next to the control panel. In some implementations, the security event is associated with one or more Bluetooth devices being in range, and determining that the security event has happened comprises using a Bluetooth radio in the control panel to detect the Bluetooth devices.
A method comprising:
A control panel of a security or automation system of a premises, the control panel including:
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a control panel of a security or automation system of a premises, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors, individually or in combination to:
