Monitoring of one or more audio/video collection devices
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for monitoring of one or more A/V collection devices within a premises. Based on the monitoring, one or more computing devices may determine whether to route or block a data transmission outside a premises. The data transmission may be routed or blocked based on, for example, one or more of the following: whether a transmission window associated with an A/V collection device is open or closed; whether the data transmission is being sent to an authorized destination device; whether the data transmission is encrypted, and the like.
