Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for configuring secure wireless networks. One of the methods includes receiving, at a security system management device, protocol and key information for establishing a connection as a client device to the wireless IP device, wherein the protocol and key information is received in response to a user transmitting an identifier for the IP device to a service provider system; establishing communication with the wireless IP device, wherein the wireless IP device is acting as an access point device; exchanging keys with the wireless IP device; rebooting the security system management device to become an access point for the secure wireless network; and establishing communication with the wireless IP device, wherein the wireless IP device has become a wireless client.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for power management. One of the methods includes determining that there is a loss in electricity to a security system management device; entering low power state; receiving a wireless sensor alert while in the low power state; in response to the alert: returning to normal power state to transmit an alarm to a service provider system, and returning to low power state after transmitting the alarm; and returning to normal power state when electricity is restored.
