1. A security monitoring system comprising a light fixture adapter (LFA) further comprising:

  • (a) source electrical input connector (SEIC);

    (b) sink electrical output connector (SEOC);

    (c) lamp dimmer control (LDC);

    (d) integrated computing device (ICD);

    (e) light fixture adapter sensor (LFAS); and

    (f) wireless communication interface (WCI);

    wherein;

    said SEIC, said SEOC, said LDC, said ICD, said LFAS, and said WCI are contained within a cylindrical housing configured to be installed between an existing electrical lamp and an existing electrical lamp fixture;

    said LDC is configured to control the flow of electrical current from said SEIC to said SEOC under direction of said ICD;

    said LFAS comprises an imaging sensor;

    said ICD is configured to monitor said LFAS;

    said ICD is configured to control said LDC in response to inputs from said LFAS;

    said ICD is configured to monitor said WCI;

    said ICD is configured to control said LDC in response to inputs from said WCI;

    said ICD is configured with a web-browser interface permitting remote monitoring of said LFAS is said WCI;

    said ICD is configured with a web-browser interface permitting remote control of said LDC via said WCI;

    said ICD is configured to execute instructions stored in a lamp fixture adapter program (LFAP);

    said LFAP is configured to allow local control and monitoring of said LDC in response to inputs from said LFAS;

    said LFAP is configured to allow local control and monitoring of said LFAS in response to inputs from said WCI;

    said LFAP is configured to allow said LFAS to be monitored and controlled by said web-browser interface;

    said LFAP is configured to allow reporting of LFAS detected events to said WCI;

    said LFAP is configured to be remotely programmable via said WCI via said web-browser interface; and

    said ICD is configured to collect data from said LFAS based on configuration information defined by a web-browser interface hosted by said ICD and transmit said collected data to a remote computing device via said WCI thru a wireless router.
