1. A system comprising:
a plurality of smart security devices each configured to (i) capture pixel data of an area, (ii) generate video frames from said pixel data, (iii) capture audio of said area, (iv) store said video frames and said audio, (v) perform an analysis of said video frames and said audio, (vi) detect an event in response to said analysis of said video frames and said audio, (vii) perform automatic deterrence actions in response to said event and (viii) communicate said video frames, said audio and a notification of said event; and
a computing device configured to execute computer readable instructions to perform one or more steps, said steps comprising (i) receiving said video frames, said audio and said notification of said event from each of said smart security devices, (ii) performing a classification of said notifications of said events into a plurality of event levels, (iii) displaying a list of said notifications of said events according to said classification and (iv) receiving input from a user in response to said notifications of said events, wherein
(a) each of said events determined to have said event levels of a high priority event are added to a top of said list as said high priority event is detected,
(b) each of said events determined to have said event levels of a new event and a passive event are added to said list below said high priority events as said events with said new event and said passive event are detected,
(c) each of said high priority events are displayed with a response option configured to enable a person to provide said input for a manual response to said high priority event,
(d) each of said new events are added to said list below all of said high priority events for a predetermined amount of time,
(e) a reclassification of said new event is performed after said predetermined amount of time,
(f) said reclassification moves said new event to said high priority events if said reclassification determines said new event is one of said high priority events,
(g) said reclassification moves said new event to said passive events if said reclassification determines said automatic deterrence actions have resolved said new event, and
(h) said list of said notifications displays a subset of said notifications based on a size of a screen configured to display said list of said notifications.
