Power outlet cameras

1. A security system configured to mount to a power outlet, the security system comprising:

an outwardly facing portion configured to face away from the power outlet;

an inwardly facing portion having a first electrical prong and a second electrical prong that protrude into the power outlet to mount the security system to the power outlet;

a button, disposed on the outwardly facing portion, having a glass imaging window overlying an infrared detector; the infrared detector being coupled to a fingerprint reader and being configured to activate a doorbell and to read fingerprints through the imaging window; and

a detection system coupled to the outwardly facing portion, the detection system including a detector, the detector comprising a microphone, a camera, and a motion detector, the camera and the button being spaced apart from one another and disposed on a surface of the outwardly facing portion,

wherein the detection system is configured to detect a condition selected from the group consisting of detecting an absence of motion, detecting an absence of sound, and a combination thereof, and thereby cause an alert in response to detecting the condition during a predetermined time of day.

2. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time of day is a first predetermined time of day, and

wherein the security system is configured to refrain from causing the alert in response to the detection system detecting the condition during a second predetermined time of day that is different from the first predetermined time of day.

3. The security system of claim 2 , wherein the security system is configured to cause the alert in response to the motion detector detecting a first motion.

4. The security system of claim 3 , wherein the security system is configured to cause the alert in response to the motion detector detecting the first motion during a first predetermined time of day.

5. The security system of claim 4 , wherein the security system is configured to refrain from causing the alert in response to the motion detector detecting a second motion during a second predetermined time of day.

6. The security system of claim 3 , wherein the camera is configured to exit a sleep mode and enter a live view mode in response to the motion detector detecting the first motion, wherein when the camera is in the sleep mode the camera does not capture images and when the camera is in the live view mode the camera captures images.

7. The security system of claim 2 , wherein the camera is configured to exit a sleep mode and enter a live view mode in response to receiving a request, wherein when the camera is in the sleep mode the camera does not capture images and when the camera is in the live view mode the camera captures images.

8. The security system of claim 7 , wherein the camera is configured to record images in response to receiving the request.

9. The security system of claim 2 , further comprising a speaker configured to remit a sound in response to obtaining the sound from a user.

10. The security system of claim 9 , wherein the microphone is configured to record noise in response to the motion detector detecting a motion.

11. The security system of claim 9 , wherein the microphone is configured to record noise in response to an occurrence selected from the group consisting of the security system causing an alert, the security system receiving a request, and combinations thereof.

12. The security system of claim 2 , further comprising a fisheye lens coupled to an outwardly facing portion of the detection system, wherein the fisheye lens is arranged and configured to create a broader field of view for the camera.

13. The security system of claim 2 , wherein the first electrical prong and the second electrical prong are arranged and configured to receive electrical power from the power outlet to power the security system.

14. The security system of claim 2 , wherein the security system is configured to cause an alert in response to the microphone detecting a first noise during the first predetermined time of day.

15. The security system of claim 14 , wherein the security system is configured to refrain from causing the alert in response to the microphone detecting a second noise during the second predetermined time of day.
