1. A security system configured to mount to a power outlet, the security system comprising:
- a detection system comprising a camera, motion detector, speaker, microphone, and a pair of electrical prongs configured to receive power from the power outlet; and
a remote computing device communicatively coupled to the detection system, the remote computing device remotely located with respect to the detection system,wherein the security system is arranged and configured to detect a location of a last movement and display the location of the last movement on the remote computing device, andwherein the security system is arranged and configured to send a first alert to the remote computing device in response to the motion detector detecting no motion during a first predetermined time of day, andwherein the security system is arranged and configured to refrain from sending a second alert to the remote computing device in response to the motion detector detecting no motion during a second predetermined time of day that is different from the first predetermined time of day.

Abstract
A security system can can be configured to mount to a power outlet. The security system can include a detection system comprising a camera, motion detector, speaker, microphone, and a pair of electrical prongs arranged and configured to protrude into the power outlet to receive power for the detection system. The security system can also include a remote computing device communicatively coupled to the detection system.

8. A method of detecting a nonmotion event with a security system mounted to a power outlet, the security system comprising a detection system including a camera, motion detector, speaker, microphone, and a pair of electrical prongs arranged and configured to protrude into the power outlet to receive power, and a remote computing device communicatively coupled to the detection system, the method comprising:
-
detecting, via the motion detector, the nonmotion event, wherein the nonmotion event comprises no detectable movement within a field of view of the motion detector; initiating a communication session between the detection system and the remote computing device in response to detecting the nonmotion event; detecting a location of a last movement and displaying the location of the last movement on the remote computing device; sending a first alert to the remote computing device in response to the motion detector detecting no motion during a first predetermined time of day, and refraining from sending a second alert to the remote computing device in response to the motion detector detecting no motion during a second predetermined time of day that is different from the first predetermined time of day. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of detecting a nonmotion event with a security system mounted to a power outlet, the security system comprising a detection system including a camera, motion detector, speaker, microphone, a button, and a pair of electrical prongs arranged and configured to protrude into the power outlet to receive power, and a remote computing device communicatively coupled to the detection system, the method comprising:
-
determining, via the security system, that the button has been pressed; initiating a communication session between the detection system and the remote computing device in response to determining that the button has been pressed; detecting a location of a last movement and displaying the location of the last movement on the remote computing device; sending a first alert to the remote computing device in response to the motion detector detecting no motion during a first predetermined time of day, and refraining from sending a second alert to the remote computing device in response to the motion detector detecting no motion during a second predetermined time of day that is different from the first predetermined time of day. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
