1. A method for detecting occupancy, comprising:

  • configuring a processor to detect, via a microphone, broken glass and a sound made by a human, wherein the microphone is associated with a security system;

    detecting, via the processor, a sound within a detectable range of the microphone;

    analyzing, via the processor, the detected sound;

    upon determining, based on the analyzing, the detected sound does not indicate glass breaking or a human making the detected sound, ignoring the detected sound;

    upon determining, based on the analyzing, the detected sound indicates glass breaking, triggering an alarm condition;

    upon determining, based on the analyzing, the detected sound indicates that a human is making the detected sound, determining an identity of the human;

    determining, via the processor, a state of the security system, wherein the state of the security system comprises an activation state of one or more sensors associated with the security system; and

    triggering, via the processor, the alarm condition based at least in part on the determined identity of the human and the determined state of the security system.
