Systems and methods for monitoring a local environment for abnormal conditions (e.g., burglary, intrusion, fire, or flooding) are disclosed. Sensors of a smartphone, tablet computer, or other computing device may be used to obtain sensor data regarding the environment. Such sensor data may relate to sounds, temperatures, lighting, or other conditions within the environment. The observed environmental conditions may be compared against reference levels or patterns to determine abnormal conditions. When abnormal conditions are identified, a response may be determined and implemented, such as alerting a user or contacting an emergency service (e.g., police or fire services). In some circumstances, a training period may be used to determine baseline or threshold levels of normal environmental conditions. Different modes or profiles may be used, which may be associated with different environments (e.g., home, hotel, etc.).
