Looks like a motion sensor, is that a light on the side?

Looks like modern electrical control box - used to be called a fuse box. Should have a door on it for access to the supply to the various rooms/ switches I think.

Doorbell makes sense. I never had a doorbell.

It could be a sounder/bell box for your alarm system

I'd say a secret camera, recording you for something like the Truman Show.

Looks like a door bell sounder- if the cover clips off you should be able to see the electromagnet.
