1. A local area security system comprising:
- a vehicle sensor for sensing a condition within a vicinity of the local area security system;
an interface for communicating with the vehicle having a computer system implementing a function of the vehicle when the vehicle is located beyond the vicinity of the local area security system, the function based upon a signal from the vehicle sensor sensing a condition exterior to the vehicle, the vehicle sensor includes at least one of an acoustic receiver, an acoustic transceiver, an infrared sensor, an infrared transceiver RADAR, LiDAR, LaDAR, and a video camera, the interface for receiving a sensor information signal based upon a signal from the vehicle sensor, the sensor information signal received from the vehicle while the vehicle is within the vicinity of the local area security system; and
a processor for determining a presence of a potential threat within the vicinity of the local area security system based upon the sensor information signal.

Abstract
A local area security system interfaces with one or more vehicles to provide enhanced security. The vehicles have vehicle sensors which may further help determine a presence of potential threat within a vicinity of the local area security system. The multiple vehicle network may communicate with each other to expand the vicinity of the local area security system, share equipment, computing resources, and information in the determination of the presence of the potential threat. The battery powered vehicle may employ various methods to conserve battery power while coupled to the local area security system.
