1. A system for automatically controlling operation of a monitoring system for a fixed property using geographic location tracking data of mobile assets associated with the fixed property, the system comprising:

  • a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a fixed property and includes one or more sensors that are installed at the fixed property and that are configured to sense attributes of the fixed property;

    mobile devices that are configured to track and report geographic location data for mobile assets associated with the fixed property, the mobile devices including at least a first mobile device of a first user associated with the fixed property and a second mobile device of a second user associated with the fixed property; and

    a monitoring application server that is configured to electronically receive, either directly or via a network communications module, data communications based on sensor data captured by the one or more sensors installed at the fixed property and that is configured to receive data communications from the mobile devices that are configured to track and report geographic location data, the monitoring application server being configured to perform operations comprising;

    monitoring for events related to the monitoring system that monitors the fixed property;

    detecting, based on monitoring for events related to the monitoring system that monitors the fixed property, an absence of activity at the fixed property;

    based on the detected absence of activity at the fixed property, determining that the monitoring system is in a disarmed state for a period of time without detected activity at the fixed property;

    determining that the period of time in the disarmed state without detected activity at the fixed property is greater than a threshold period of time;

    based on the determination that the period of time in the disarmed state without detected activity at the fixed property is greater than the threshold period of time, determining a geographic location of each of the mobile assets associated with the fixed property;

    determining, based on the geographic location of each of the mobile assets associated with the fixed property, that each of the mobile assets are outside of a threshold distance from the fixed property at a point in time in which the monitoring system has been in the disarmed state without detected activity at the fixed property for the period of time that is greater than the threshold period of time; and

    automatically arming the monitoring system based on determining that each of the mobile assets is outside of the threshold distance from the fixed property at the point in time in which the monitoring system has been in the disarmed state without detected activity at the fixed property for the period of time that is greater than the threshold period of time.
