1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, first sensor data associated with a first sensor at a location;
determining, by the computing device, that the first sensor data indicates an alarm condition at the location;
after determining that the first sensor data indicates the alarm condition, receiving, by the computing device, second sensor data associated with a second sensor at the location;
determining, by the computing device, to activate an alarm based on a determination that the second sensor data associated with the second sensor verifies the alarm condition; and
in response to determining to activate the alarm, transmitting an instruction to activate the alarm.

Abstract
A security system that can be used in a home, office, or other building in order to generate alarms or take other actions depending on conditions within the building. The security system may rely on sensors within the building which sense various conditions and collect other data. The information learned from the sensors can be communicated to a location outside the building for processing, such as, but not limited to, processing associated with a need to instigate an alarm.

10. A method comprising:
-
sending, by a computing device, first sensor data associated with a first sensor at a location, wherein the first sensor data indicates an alarm condition at the location; after sending the first sensor data, receiving, by the computing device, an instruction to send data to verify the alarm condition; in response to receiving the instruction, sending, by the computing device, second sensor data associated with a second sensor at the location; and receiving, by the computing device, an instruction to activate an alarm, wherein the instruction to activate the alarm is based on the second sensor data verifying the alarm condition at the location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a first computing device, sensor data from a sensor at a location, wherein the sensor data indicates an alarm condition at the location; determining, by the first computing device, a tag that indicates the location; sending, by the first computing device and to a second computing device, the sensor data and the tag that indicates the location; in response to sending the sensor data and the tag, receiving, by the first computing device, an instruction to activate an alarm at the location; and causing the alarm at the location to be activated. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
