7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the 360° camera is configured to analyze a video or audio feed from the image sensor to detect the presence of at least one of a fire threat and a security threat within the feed.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the 360° camera comprises of an alarm, wherein the alarm is triggered in response to the detection of the at least one fire threat and a security threat, wherein the alarm is at least one of a visible, audible alarm, and a silent alarm.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

the 360° camera of the fixture, responsive to detecting the at least one fire threat and a security threat, conveying a notification to a communicatively linked computing device.

10. The notification of claim 9 , wherein the notification is at least one of an electronic mail notification and a text exchange notification, wherein the text exchange notification comprises at least one of a Short Message Service message and an Instant Message.

11. An apparatus for a 360° camera within a wall mounted fire pull station comprising:

a 360° fire pull station comprising of a fire pull station and a 360° camera;

the station comprises of a housing, wherein the housing comprises of a mounting bracket and a cavity, wherein the mounting bracket securely affixes the station to a surface, wherein the 360° camera resides within at least a portion of the cavity; and

the 360° camera comprising of a power source, an image sensor, and a 360° lense array, wherein the camera obtains electrical power from the power source of the station.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the 360° camera further comprises:

a wireless transceiver configured to communicate at least one of a video and audio feed from the image sensor to a communicatively linked computing device.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the 360° camera further comprises:

a data store configured to persist at least one of a video and audio feed from the image sensor.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein at least one element of the 360° camera is embedded within the mounting bracket.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the 360° camera is communicatively linked to the station power source via a power converter, wherein the converter modifies the power source to provide electricity to the camera.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the 360° fire pull station, responsive to detecting at least one of a fire threat and a security threat, conveying a notification to a communicatively linked computing device.

17. A 360° wall mounted fire pull station comprising:

a 360° camera embedded within a fire pull station of a fire alarm system, wherein the activation of the fire pull station triggers the 360° camera to analyze an environment proximate to the fire pull station, wherein the camera comprises of a power source, an image sensor, and a 360° lense array, wherein the camera is configured to receive power from a power source associated with the fire alarm system;

when the analysis yields at least one of a fire threat and a security threat exists within the proximate environment, triggering an alarm communicatively linked to the fire pull station;

when the analysis yields no threat exists within the proximate environment, not triggering an alarm communicatively linked to the fire pull station.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the 360° camera is an Internet Protocol (IP) capable camera, responsive to detecting a fire or an intruder, conveying a notification to a communicatively linked computing device.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the power source of the 360° camera is a battery, wherein the 360° comprises of a power converter configured to transform power from the battery to power the 360° camera.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the 360° camera electrical configuration is configured to receive electrical supply from a low voltage supply or line voltage 24 VDC supply.
