HOME SECURITY SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC CONTEXT-SENSITIVE TRANSITION TO DIFFERENT MODES

摘要

A home security system may infer a mode of operation based on indications it receives regarding a user's behavior. The disclosed implementations provide for a vacation mode of operation that defines a response for a security event that differs from the response that would be provided by the home security system for the same security event if it operated in another mode such as an away mode.
