Abstract
A method of controlling operation of a security device in a location by a mobile user device, comprises monitoring a region around a location of interest, via a mobile user device; providing at least one security device within the region, wherein the security device comprises at least one sensor to monitor a location. The user device recognizes that the user device has entered the region, and searches for a security device within the region. The security device is detected and at least certain security features and/or sensors are disarmed. Disarming may mean that at least certain notifications are not sent about the status of the location. When the user device recognizes that the device is leaving the region, security features and/or sensors may be armed.
