Security monitoring and control

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.
