Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for a smart monitoring system are described. A system may include a camera-enabled device configured to monitor a physical environment using the camera-enabled device. The system may detect a trigger in the physical environment based on the monitoring, where the trigger includes an object, a person, an event, or any combination thereof. The system may select, based on the detecting, a direction of a set of directions to emit light via a light emitting source. The system may activate the light emitting source based on the selecting. The system may emit, via the light emitting source, the light in the direction based on the activating and the detected trigger. The techniques described herein may deter an intruder from an intended action (e.g., theft, property damage, etc.) and/or provide lighting to a user of the security and automation system, among other benefits.
