Apparatus and method for monitoring an access point

A method for monitoring an access point of a premises, the access point separating a first region and a second region associated with the premises, the method comprising:

• receiving indications of access point events and first-region events,
• wherein the indications of access point events are obtained by processing output of an access point sensor configured to detect a state of the access point, and
• the indications of first-region events are obtained by processing output of an environment sensor configured to detect motion and/or presence of a person within a field of view associated with the first region;
• and
• determining a region from which the or a person caused an access point event, the region comprising one of the first region and the second region, wherein the determining is based on whether the access point event occurred within a first time interval after a preceding first-region event, and wherein the first time interval is modifiable.

A memory comprising instructions which, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform the steps of:

• receiving indications of access point events and first-region events,
• wherein the indications of access point events are obtained by processing output of an access point sensor configured to detect a state of an access point of a premises, the access point separating a first region and a second region associated with the premises, and
• the indications of first-region events are obtained by processing output of an environment sensor configured to detect motion and/or presence of a person within a field of view associated with the first region;
• and
• determining a region from which the or a person caused an access point event, the region comprising one of the first region and the second region, wherein the determining is based on whether the access point event occurred within a first time interval after a preceding first-region event, and wherein the first time interval is modifiable.
