Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property, the monitoring system comprising:
one or more sensors that are located throughout the property and that are configured to generate sensor data; and
one or more computers and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
determining to initiate a path signature profile for the property;
in response to determining to initiate the path signature profile for the property, accessing, from a database and using data for the path signature profile, first data that indicates an entity path at the property;
sending, using the first data that indicates the entity path at the property, second instructions to one or more devices for the property to cause each of the one or more devices to present information about the entity path;
receiving sensor data from the one or more sensors included in the monitoring system that is configured to monitor the property;
determining that the sensor data indicates unusual activity at the property;
determining, using the sensor data, a location on the property associated with an entity;
determining, using the sensor data and the determination of the unusual activity, a location on the property associated with the unusual activity;
in response to determining the location on the property associated with the unusual activity and the location on the property associated with the entity, adding, to the first data indicating the entity path, second data that indicates the location as a checkpoint on the entity path; and
in response to adding the second data that indicates the location as a checkpoint on the entity path, sending third instructions to one or more physical signaling devices that are separate from the one or more computers to activate the one or more physical signaling devices to indicate the location of the checkpoint.
