Security monitoring and control

1. A method for security monitoring and control comprising:

receiving sensor data from at least one first peripheral, the sensor data associated with at least one of activity inside and activity outside of a structure;

determining a critical event based in part on the sensor data;

creating an alert based in part on the critical event;

getting user preferences associated with at least one of a user and a base unit;

determining a response based in part on the alert and the user preferences; and

activating a second peripheral based in part on the response, the second peripheral including an unmanned aircraft, and the activating the second peripheral including:

sending the unmanned aircraft to an area of interest, the area of interest determined based at least on the critical event;

sensing at least one of video and audio, the sensing using at least one of video and audio sensors disposed on the unmanned aircraft; and

providing the at least one of video and audio.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first peripheral includes at least one of a cordless phone, door/gate sensor, window sensor, glass breakage sensor, flood sensor, pool sensor, and baby monitor.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing the alert to a server,

wherein the user preferences are received from the server.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing a notification to the user based at least on the response; and

receiving instructions from the user,

wherein the activating is further based on the instructions.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

detecting a wireless device associated with an intruder; and

determining one or more properties of the wireless device, the determining including detecting a digital fingerprint of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein

the wireless device is a Bluetooth enabled device in discoverable mode, and

the determining one or more properties further includes at least one of executing software on, sending a chunk of data to, or sending a sequence of commands to the Bluetooth enabled device, so as to gain control of the Bluetooth enabled device.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein

the second peripheral further includes at least one cordless phone, and

the activating the second peripheral further includes:

silently turning on a microphone of the at least one cordless phone;

sensing audio using the microphone; and

providing the audio.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the activating the second peripheral further includes playing a selected recorded announcement using a speaker of the at least one cordless phone, the selection of the recorded announcement based at least on the response.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

activating a service based in part on the response, the activating the service including posting to social media to alert neighbors based at least on the response.

10. A base unit comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform a method for security monitoring and control including:

receiving sensor data from at least one first peripheral, the sensor data associated with at least one of activity inside and activity outside of a structure;

determining a critical event based in part on the sensor data;

creating an alert based in part on the critical event;

getting user preferences associated with at least one of a user and a base unit;

determining a response based in part on the alert and the user preferences; and

activating a second peripheral based in part on the response, the second peripheral including an unmanned aircraft, and the activating the second peripheral including:

sending the unmanned aircraft to an area of interest, the area of interest determined based at least on the critical event;

sensing at least one of video and audio, the sensing using at least one of video and audio sensors disposed on the unmanned aircraft; and

providing the at least one of video and audio.

11. The base unit of claim 10 wherein the first peripheral includes at least one of a cordless phone, door/gate sensor, window sensor, glass breakage sensor, flood sensor, camera, smart thermostat, pool sensor, and baby monitor.

12. The base unit of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises:

providing the alert to a server,

wherein the user preferences are received from the server.

13. The base unit of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises:

providing a notification to the user based at least on the response; and

receiving instructions from the user,

wherein the activating is further based on the instructions from the user.

14. The base unit of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises:

detecting a wireless device associated with an intruder; and

determining properties of the wireless device.

15. The base unit of claim 14 wherein

the wireless device is a Bluetooth enabled device in discoverable mode, and

the determining properties includes at least one of executing software on, sending a chunk of data to, or sending a sequence of commands to the Bluetooth enabled device, so as to gain control of the Bluetooth enabled device.

16. The base unit of claim 10 wherein

the second peripheral further includes at least one cordless phone, and

the activating the second peripheral further includes:

silently turning on a microphone of the at least one cordless phone;

sensing audio using the microphone; and

providing the audio.

17. The base unit of claim 16 wherein the activating the second peripheral further includes playing a selected recorded announcement using a speaker of the at least one cordless phone, the selection of the recorded announcement based at least on the response.

18. The base unit of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises:

activating a service based in part on the response, the activating the service including posting to social media to alert neighbors based at least on the alert.
