To be caught on a security camera

Hello,

I've got a problem with either verb and preposition in this sentence:

"I was caught on a security camera."

Is it correct to say "to be captured on ..." and is it correct to use "with" or "by" instead of "on"?

I was captured with/by a security camera.

Thank you

On sounds most natural to me; by also seems ok, but with would mean that someone found the camera in your possession. Captured is probably acceptable also.
