1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a premises security system, a signal transmitted from a mobile security node of a mobile device via a connection that comprises a wireless link;
determining that a strength of the signal is greater than a first threshold indicated by a profile associated with the mobile security node, wherein the first threshold is greater than zero;
andintegrating the mobile security node with the premises security system in response to determining that the strength of the signal is greater than the first threshold.

Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for expanding the functionality of a security system are disclosed. The security system may be integrated with a vehicle security system. For example, a vehicle security node of a vehicle may transmit a signal that may be received by the security system. The security system may authenticate the vehicle security node and integrate the vehicle security node into its network. Various information may be communicated in both directions between the security system and the vehicle security node. The vehicle security node may communicate with an alarm panel that may include a dock for connecting a portable device.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving a signal transmitted from a mobile security node of a mobile device via a connection that comprises a wireless link; determining that the mobile security node is out of range by determining that a signal strength of the signal received from the mobile security node is less than a threshold, wherein the threshold is greater than zero; and in response to determining that the mobile security node is out of range, performing at least one of arming a premises security system, prompting a user to determine whether to arm the premises security system, or instructing the premises security system to monitor a premises for a predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
receiving a signal transmitted from a mobile security node of a mobile device via a connection that comprises a wireless link; determining that the mobile security node is within range by determining that a signal strength of the signal is greater than a first threshold indicated by a profile associated with the mobile security node, wherein the first threshold is greater than zero; and in response to determining that the mobile security node is within range, performing at least one of disarming a premises security system that monitors a premises, opening a door on the premises, unlocking a door on the premises, or turning on a light on the premises. - View Dependent Claims (24)

21. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a premises security system, a signal transmitted from a mobile security node of a mobile device via a connection that comprises a wireless link; determining that a strength of the signal is greater than a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is greater than zero; in response to determining that the strength of the signal is greater than the first threshold; integrating the mobile security node with the premises security system; and performing an action based on a time at which it is determined that the strength of the signal is greater than the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

22. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a premises security system, a signal transmitted from a mobile security node of a mobile device via a connection that comprises a wireless link; determining that a strength of the signal is greater than a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is greater than zero; integrating the mobile security node with the premises security system in response to determining that the strength of the signal is greater than the first threshold; determining that the mobile device is leaving a premises by determining that a strength of a second signal received from the mobile security node is less than a second threshold; and transmitting a message to the mobile device or a user device associated with the mobile device, the message configured to prompt a user to indicate whether to arm the premises security system. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
