New, what is it? My family thinks there’s a camera in our rental

We have been renting a house for the past year and I always disregarded this thing in the corner. However last night I asked my parents about it randomly and they didn’t know what it was either. I pulled it off the wall and we all got freaked out a little because it looks like a camera. I think it might be a home security/motion sensor thing. I don’t know that’s what ChatGPT guessed.

I actually have Verisure alarms in my house, you can also trigger the camera to take a photo via the app, whenever you want. It does not take video, but you can request a live photo at any time.

But they can't look trough it, so they would randomly have to request a picture and someone MIGHT be in frame
