Abberation detection technology
First Claim
1. A method performed by one or more computers, the method comprising:
- aggregating, over a period of time and for multiple properties, past installation data indicating past installation events and timing of the past installation events that occurred during past installations of monitoring systems at the multiple properties;
analyzing, by at least one of the one or more computers, the aggregated past installation data to identify reoccurring patterns of successful installation events and timing of the successful installation events;
storing, in electronic storage, successful installation pattern data descriptive of the identified reoccurring patterns of successful installation events and timing of the successful installation events;
obtaining current installation data descriptive of one or more current installation events that have occurred during installation of a monitoring system that is being installed to monitor a particular property;
based on obtaining the current installation data, accessing, from the electronic storage, the successful installation pattern data descriptive of the identified reoccurring patterns of successful installation events and timing of the successful installation events;
evaluating, by at least one of the one or more computers, the current installation data against the successful installation pattern data;
prior to completion of installation of the monitoring system at the particular property, detecting, by at least one of the one or more computers, an aberration associated with the installation of the monitoring system at the particular property based on the evaluation of the current installation data against the successful installation pattern data; and
taking action related to the installation of the monitoring system at the particular property based on the detection of the aberration associated with the installation of the monitoring system at the particular property.

Abstract
In some implementations, techniques are described for detecting abnormal installations in a property monitored by a monitoring (e.g., security) system. For instance, an aberration engine may be used to detect an abnormal sensor or system installation within a property based on comparing detected installation data against local installation patterns of local providers within a certain proximity to the property. In some examples, the attributes (e.g., installation time, components used, number of tests performed, etc.) of a monitoring system installation, including installation of components of the monitoring system, may be compared to average installation times of other nearby installations to detect abnormalities in the installation.
