He asked an agent what beeped in his house, and it found the smoke alarm

Someone in the house heard a beep a little before 12:13 AM. He handed the question to an agent with access to the camera recorder.

It was not a fire, not carbon monoxide and not a dying battery.

Eric finished the checkout himself.
