1. A method, comprising:
receiving a signal at a media device associated with a user via an alarm system server of an alarm system, wherein the signal indicates a security event; determining a user-defined privacy level associated with the signal based on comparing an identifier of a source of the signal to settings defined by the user, wherein the settings map the identifier of the source to a corresponding privacy level; storing, with the media device, a video feed associated with the signal to a storage device in response to a determination that the user-defined privacy level is public, wherein the media device does not store the video feed to the storage device in response to a determination that the user-defined privacy level is private; sending, from the media device, a first alert to a display device coupled to the media device and a second alert to a display portion of a remote control device associated with the media device, wherein the first alert and the second alert indicate the security event, and wherein the second alert enables a user to reply to the security event without the user viewing or interacting with the display device; and sending selectable command options to the display device from the media device for concurrent display on the display device with the first alert, the selectable command options associated with responses to the security event.
