Ideas for what image to put on my security touch screen panel? (lemmy.world)

I recently got a touch screen panel, 1280X800, and the screen is on 24/7 (which is fine). The only problem is it's in my peripheral vision when I'm at my desk and it by default cycles through some stock images when not in use. The image changing catches my eye easily, and it's just a little annoying. So I decided to put a single static image on it.

Does anyone here have any static image you keep on your wall-mounted displays when they aren't in use, or any ideas for such an image?

I was going to fall back on just disabling the image all together and have the actual interface showing, but that's boring.

I was thinking of something related to my home, saying like the {surname} household, or maybe a picture of my cats or something funny, I am not sure either way.

I figured some of you here might have thought about this already and might have some good suggestions.

It's the alarm system interface and (especially with an elderly person living with me), I don't want to make it harder to arm or disarm. But I like the biohazard idea!
