store the identifying information with one or more associated tags in the memory, wherein the one or more associated tags comprise a time tag;

receive a sensor input with the sensor communication circuitry;

determine a time of the sensor input;

correlate the time of the sensor input with the time tag associated with the identifying information; and

perform an action based, at least in part, on the registration status of the wireless device and the correlation of the time of the sensor input with the time tag associated with the identifying information.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to send an alarm message as at least a part of the action, the alarm message including the identifying information only if the registration status of the wireless device is unregistered.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the registration information comprising predetermined information that is independent of an authorization for the wireless device to connect to the wireless receiver, the predetermined information different than the identifying information about the wireless device.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , the registration information comprising a profile of an individual associated with the wireless device, the profile comprising more than the identifying information about the wireless device.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more associated tags further comprise the registration status of the wireless device, the sensor input, a network protocol, a signal strength, or a duration of detection of the wireless device.

6. A method to perform an action based on detection of a wireless device, the method comprising:

intercepting a message from a wireless device by a wireless receiver;

extracting identifying information about the wireless device from the message;

accessing registration information to determine a registration status of the wireless device based on the identifying information;

storing the identifying information with a time tag;

receiving a sensor input at sensor communication circuitry;

determining a time of the sensor input;

correlating the time of the sensor input with the time tag associated with the identifying information; and

performing the action based, at least in part, on the registration status of the wireless device and the correlation of the time of the sensor input with the time tag associated with the identifying information.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising storing the sensor input, a network protocol, a signal strength, the registration status, or a duration of detection of the wireless device with the identifying information.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising sending an alarm message as at least a part of the action.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the alarm message includes information based on the identifying information and the sensor input.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising including the identifying information in the alarm message only if the registration status of the wireless device is unregistered.

11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a user input related to the wireless device;

determining at least a portion of the registration information based on the user input; and

storing the registration information.

12. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a profile of an individual associated with the wireless device, the profile comprising more than the identifying information about the wireless device;

storing the profile of the individual as at least a portion of the registration information;

using the profile of the individual, in addition to the identifying information, to determine the registration status of the wireless device.

13. A computer program product for performing an action based on detection of a wireless device, the computer program product comprising:

at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:

computer readable code to intercept a message from a wireless device using a wireless receiver;

computer readable code to extract identifying information about the wireless device from the message;

computer readable code to access registration information to determine a registration status of the wireless device based on the identifying information;

computer readable code to store the identifying information with one or more associated tags in a local memory, wherein the one or more associated tags comprise a time tag;

computer readable code to receive a sensor input using sensor communication circuitry and determine a time of the sensor input;

computer readable code to correlate the time of the sensor input with the time tag associated with the identifying information; and

computer readable code to perform the action based, at least in part, on the registration status of the wireless device and the correlation of the time of the sensor input with the time tag associated with the identifying information.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , further comprising computer readable code to store the sensor input associated with the identifying information in the local memory.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , further comprising computer readable code to send an alarm message as at least a part of the action.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising computer readable code to include information based on the identifying information in the alarm message only if the registration status of the wireless device is unregistered.

17. A security system comprising:

a controller;

one or more sensors coupled to the controller;

a wireless receiver coupled to the controller; and

a communication interface coupled to the controller;

wherein the system is configured to:

intercept a message from a wireless device using the wireless receiver;

extract identifying information about the wireless device from the message;

access registration information that was entered by a person to determine a registration status of the wireless device based on the identifying information;

log the identifying information associated with a time tag;

receive an event from a sensor of the one or more sensors;

determine a time of the event;

correlate the time of the event with the time tag associated with the identifying information; and

send an alarm message over the communication interface to an interested party based on the registration status of the wireless device being unregistered and the correlation of the time of the event with the time tag associated with the identifying information, wherein the alarm message comprises information based on the identifying information and the event.

18. The security system of claim 17 , further comprising a local memory;

wherein the identifying information the time tag associated with the identifying information, a tag representing the registration status of the wireless device, the event, and the time of the event are logged in the local memory.

19. The security system of claim 18 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine that the identifying information is older than a predetermined age based on the time tag;

store a copy of the identifying information with the one or more associated tags in a remote location; and

delete the identifying information from the local memory.

20. The security system of claim 17 , wherein the communication interface includes the wireless receiver.
