Securing property
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for securing property are presented. Video content viewed by a user may be detected, and the user may be automatically prompted to change settings on a security system based on the detecting. A comparison of the current time with the duration of the video content may serve as the basis for such prompting. Additionally, a premise security system may be placed in a learning mode. Changes in position of a security sensor may be detected and used to set a permitted range of motion for the sensor. Further, a plurality of security sensor profiles may be stored, and each profile may identify a different predefined permitted range of motion of a sensor. The addition of a new sensor to a premise may be detected, and a user may be prompted, on a display, to identify a profile to be used for the new sensor.
1. A method, comprising:
storing a plurality of security sensor profiles, each security sensor profile identifying a predefined permitted range of motion of a corresponding security sensor;
detecting an addition of a new security sensor;
prompting, via a user interface, a user to identify one of the plurality of security sensor profiles to be used for the new security sensor; and
executing a training process if the user does not identify a security sensor profile for the new security sensor.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles defines a predefined permitted amount of acceleration.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles defines a predefined permitted direction of motion.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles defines a predefined permitted amount of distance.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles specifies acceptable motion for the new security sensor and a default alert response.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing the training process further comprises:
creating a new security sensor profile for the new security sensor; and
storing the new security sensor profile for use with future new security sensors.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
monitoring positional information of the new security sensor to determine if the new security sensor has exceeded a predefined permitted range of motion associated with the new security sensor profile.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
determining that the new security sensor is in motion; and
in response to a determination that the motion of the new security sensor has not exceeded a predefined permitted range of motion associated with the new security sensor profile, refraining from triggering an alert.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing the training process comprises:
determining a range of motion; and
setting the range of motion as a permitted range of motion of the new security sensor.
10. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause at least one computing device to:
store a plurality of security sensor profiles, each security sensor profile identifying a predefined permitted range of motion of a corresponding security sensor;
detect an addition of a new security sensor;
prompt, via a user interface, a user to identify one of the plurality of security sensor profiles to be used for the new security sensor; and
execute a training process if the user does not identify a security sensor profile for the new security sensor.
11. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed, further cause at least one computing device to:
create a new security sensor profile for the new security sensor during the training process; and
store the new security sensor profile for use with future new security sensors.
12. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed, further cause the at least one computing device to:
monitor positional information of the new security sensor to determine if the new security sensor has exceeded a predefined permitted range of motion associated with the new security sensor profile.
13. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed, further cause the at least one computing device to:
determine that the new security sensor is in motion; and
in response to a determination that the motion of the new security sensor has not exceeded a predefined permitted range of motion associated with the new security sensor profile, refrain from triggering an alert.
14. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles defines a predefined permitted amount of acceleration.
15. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles defines a predefined permitted direction of motion.
16. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles defines a predefined permitted amount of distance.
17. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein at least one security sensor profile of the plurality of security sensor profiles specifies acceptable motion for the new security sensor and a default alert response.
18. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to execute the training process further cause the at least one computing device to:
determine a range of motion; and
set the range of motion as a permitted range of motion of the new security sensor.
