Summary:Provided is a method of automatically switching a security monitoring system of premises into a nocturnal armed at home mode, the premises providing accommodation for a household, and the accommodation comprising sleeping accommodation and living accommodation, the two accommodations being separate, the method comprising: using radio-based presence and location sensing to detect perturbations of radio signals; determining that the perturbations of radio signals signify that the household has vacated the living accommodation and occupied the sleeping accommodation; using time of day and stored information about the households' daily routine, applying one or more rules to determine whether use of the nocturnal armed mode is appropriate, and if it is appropriate switching the security monitoring system into the nocturnal armed at home mode, in which detection of movement or presence in the living accommodation constitutes an alarm event but in which detection of movement or presence in the sleeping accommodation does not constitute an alarm event.
