Other aspects are described and claimed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: detecting, using a motion detection device, a movement of a threat at a first location, wherein the first location is associated with a first structure, wherein the threat defines a center point within a radius; responsive to the detecting, turning on at least one light source at the first location; and responsive to the detecting, turning on at least one other light source at a second location within the radius of the threat, wherein the second location is associated with a second structure separate from the first structure and the turning on of the at least one other light source at a second location is based upon the movement at the first location and the center point and the radius are dynamically adjusted based upon a location of the threat as the threat moves; wherein the first location is separately networked from the second location. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first location is a first residence; and wherein the second location is a second residence. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first location and second location are powered by separate electrical service drops; and wherein the at least one light source and the at least one other light source are not connected to a home security system. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: responsive to the detecting, turning on at least one video capture device at the first location; and responsive to the detection, turning on at least one other video capture device at a second location. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first location and the second location are connected via at least one of: cellular network, wireless wide area network, wireless local area network, transmission control protocol, internet protocol, power line communication, and fiber optics. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the turning on at least one other light source comprises flashing on and off the at least one other light source a predetermined number of times. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting, using the motion detection device, a second movement at the first location; wherein the turning on at least one other light source at the second location is responsive to the detection of the second movement. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the second location comprises a plurality of residences; and wherein the first location comprises a subset of the plurality of residences. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: detecting, using a motion detection device, a second movement at a residence within the subset, independent of a residence associated with a first detection; and responsive to the detection of the second movement, turning on a plurality of light sources associated with the plurality of residences. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein each at least one light source and each at least one other light source are assigned a unique address. ### Claim 11 An information handling device, comprising: a processor; a motion detection device; a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to: detect, using the motion detection device, a movement of a threat at a first location, wherein the first location is associated with a first structure, wherein the threat defines a center point within a radius; responsive to the detecting, turn on at least one light source at the first location; and responsive to the detection, turn on at least one other light source at a second location within the radius of the threat, wherein the second location is associated with a second structure separate from the first structure and the turning on of the at least one other light source at a second location is based upon the movement at the first location and the center point and the radius are dynamically adjusted based upon a location of the threat as the threat moves; wherein the first location is separately networked from the second location. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the first location is a first residence; and wherein the second location is a second residence. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the first location and second location are powered by separate electrical service drops; and wherein the at least one light source and the at least one other light source are not connected to a home security system. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the instructions are further executable to: responsive to the detecting, turn on at least one video capture device at the first location; and responsive to the detection, turn on at least one other video capture device at a second location. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the first location and the second location are connected via at least one of: cellular network, wireless wide area network, wireless local area network, transmission control protocol, internet protocol, power line communication, and fiber optics. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the turning on at least one other light source comprises flashing on and off the at least one other light source a predetermined number of times. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the instructions are further executable to: detect, using the motion detection device, a second movement at the first location; wherein the turning on at least one other light source at a second location is responsive to the detection of the second movement. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the second location comprises a plurality of residences; and wherein the first location comprises a subset of the plurality of residences. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The meth information handling device of claim 18, wherein the instructions are further executable to: detect, using a motion detection device, a second movement at a residence within the subset, independent of a residence associated with a first detection; and responsive to the detection of the second movement, turn on a plurality of light sources associated with the plurality of residences. ### Claim 20 A product, comprising: a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising: code that detects, using a motion detection device, a movement of a threat at a first location, wherein the first location is associated with a first structure, wherein the threat defines a center point within a radius; code that responsive to the detecting, turns on at least one light source at the first location; and code that responsive to the detection, turns on at least one other light source at a second location within the radius of the threat, wherein the second location is associated with a second structure separate from the first structure and the turning on of the at least one other light source at a second location is based upon the movement at the first location and the center point and the radius are dynamically adjusted based upon a location of the threat as the threat moves; wherein the first location is separately networked from the second location.
