Abstract

A barrier operator that controls operation of a camera includes a controller, a communication module, and control circuitry. The controller moves a barrier between open and closed positions. The communication module receives open/close commands from a peripheral device. The control circuitry is in communication with the controller, the communication module, and a camera. The control circuitry of the barrier operator automatically activates the camera to capture at least one visual image in response to receiving an open/close command and/or a determination to move the barrier.
