Systems and methods of providing allowances for a security system

1. A security system comprising:

a sensor to detect a location of at least one user, and generate detection data according to the detected location of the at least one user, wherein the sensor is one from the group consisting of: a door sensor and a window sensor;

a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor to receive the detection data, to determine whether a respective door or window is opened from inside the building based on the detection data, to determine whether the at least one user is occupying a building according to the detection data, to store allowance data that sets one or more preferences for the at least one user, to determine whether the user is entering or exiting the building as expected based on user history data, the allowance data, and the detection data, and to adjust a time period included in the allowance data so as to provide additional time for the at least one user to enter or exit the building based on the determination of whether the user is entering or exiting the building as expected and based on the detection data from the sensor; and an alarm device, communicatively coupled to at least the processor, that is armed or disarmed by the processor according to the allowance data and the determination as to whether the at least one user is occupying the building.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor has a preset timer that is activated to count down when the at least one user has exited the building.

3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:

a display that is coupled to at least one of the group consisting of the processor and the alarm device to display the countdown of the timer.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a motion sensor that is disabled by the processor when the at least one user is occupying the building.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor controls the alarm device to refrain from activation when the door or window is opened from inside the building.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor sets one or more items selected from a group consisting of: doors and windows for entry or exit after arming of the alarm device.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more doors are those that open from inside the building to outside the building.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein a failsafe period is set by the processor to arm the alarm device when the failsafe period is expired.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor reduces the failsafe period when at least one of the sensor and the processor determines that the at least one user is outside the building.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor configures the allowance data to allow the at least one user to exit though one or more preset doors without activating the alarm device.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor configures the allowance data to allow motion within the building without activating the alarm device.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor configures the allowance data so as to allow window opening without activating the alarm device and to provide a notification to the user.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor configures the allowance data so that the sensor detects security events from a perimeter of the building.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor configures the allowance data so that when the at least one user is occupying the building, one or more other users are permitted to enter the building or be within a preset distance of the building without activating the alarm device.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more other users are users that are registered with the processor.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor configures the allowance data so as to allow the at least one user to exit the building without activating the alarm device.

17. A method comprising: detecting, by a sensor, a location of at least one user, and generating detection data according to the detected location of the at least one user;

receiving, by a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor, the detection data, determining whether a respective door or window is opened from inside the building according to the detection data received from the sensor, determining whether the at least one user is occupying a building according to the detection data, and storing allowance data that sets one or more preferences for the at least one user; determining, by the processor, whether the user is entering or exiting the building as expected based on user history data, the allowance data, and the detection data; adjusting, by the processor, a time period included in the allowance data so as to provide additional time for the at least one user to enter or exit the building based on the determination of whether the user is entering or exiting the building as expected and based on the detection data from the sensor; and arming an alarm device that is communicatively coupled to the processor according to the allowance data and the determination as to whether the at least one user occupying the building.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

activating a preset timer to count down when the at least one user has exited the building.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

displaying, on a display coupled to the alarm device, the countdown of the timer.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

determining, with the processor, whether a respective door or window is opened from inside the building according to motion data received from the sensor.

21. The method of claim 20 , further comprising:

controlling, by the processor, the alarm device to refrain from activation when the door or window is opened from inside the building.

22. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

configuring the allowance data, by the processor, so as to allow the at least one user to exit the building without activating the alarm device.

23. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

setting, by the processor, a failsafe period to arm the alarm device when the failsafe period is expired.

24. The method of claim 23 , further comprising:

reducing, by the processor, the failsafe period when the sensor or the processor determines that the at least one user is outside the building.

25. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

configuring, by the processor, the allowance data to allow the at least one user to exit though one or more preset doors without activating the alarm device.

26. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

configuring, by the processor, the allowance data to allow motion within the building without activating the alarm device.

27. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

configuring, by the processor, the allowance data so as to allow window opening without activating the alarm device and providing a notification to the user.

28. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

configuring, with the processor, the allowance data so that the sensor detects security events from a perimeter of the building.

29. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

configuring, with the processor, the allowance data so that when the at least one user is occupying the building, permitting one or more other users to enter the building or be within a preset distance of the building without activating the alarm device.

30. The method of claim 29 , wherein the one or more other users are users that are registered with the processor.
