Claim 0:
1. A premises monitoring system for monitoring a premises, comprising:
a premises device; and
a power device comprising a rectifier that is in electrical communication with the premises device and configured to transfer at least electrical power to the premises device via at least one wired connection, the power device comprising:
a first receptacle configured to, in response to a modular wireless transmitter being removably received by the first receptacle, transfer power to the modular wireless transmitter and transfer data to the modular wireless transmitter for wireless transmission;

the premises device comprising:
a video capture element configured to capture video;
a second receptacle configured to, in response to the modular wireless transmitter being removably received by the second receptacle, transfer power to the modular wireless transmitter and transfer data to the modular wireless transmitter for wireless transmission;
processing circuitry configured to:
determine whether the modular wireless transmitter is removably received by the second receptacle of the premises device;
in response to determining the modular wireless transmitter is removably received by the second receptacle, cause wireless transmission of the captured video to a system control device via the modular wireless transmitter; and
in response to determining the modular wireless transmitter is not removably received by the second receptacle of the premises device, cause transmission of the captured video to the power device via the at least one wired connection; and

when the modular wireless transmitter is removably received by the first receptacle, the power device is configured to cause, in response to receiving the captured video, transmission of the captured video via the modular wireless transmitter.
