Methods for monitoring security

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• detect an event at a premises monitored by a security system associated with a plurality of sensors;
• determine, based on the event, a tripped subset of the plurality of sensors;
• determine, based on the event, video associated with the event captured by at least one sensor of the tripped subset of the plurality of sensors;
• and
• send a notification to one or more devices associated with one or more users of the security system, wherein the notification comprises the video.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• receive a request for a state of alert of a security system associated with the apparatus;
• determine the state of alert of the security system;
• determine, based on the state of alert of the security system, an interactive graphic for output via the apparatus;
• and
• cause output of the determined interactive graphic via the apparatus.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• detect an event at a premises monitored by a security system;
• and
• send an alert notification to a device associated with a primary user of the security system, wherein the alert notification comprises a notification that facilitates access to confidential information for changing a state of the security system.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• detect an event at a premises monitored by a security system;
• determine a location associated with the event;
• determine a state of alert of the location associated with the event;
• and
• send, to one or more devices associated with one or more users of the security system and based on the location associated with the event and on the state of alert of the location associated with the event, a notification comprising a confidential passphrase for changing the state of alert.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• detect an event at a premises monitored by the apparatus;
• determine whether the event is consistent with at least one criterion associated with a false alarm;
• determine a false-alarm confidence level based at least in part on the at least one criterion;
• and
• send, to a wireless device, a notification based on the false-alarm confidence level, wherein the notification comprises video associated with the event, and wherein the video is stored based on the event.
