Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
determining, by a monitoring system implemented on one or more computers, to initiate a path signature profile for a property;
in response to determining to initiate the path signature profile for the property, accessing, by the monitoring system from a database and using data for the path signature profile, first data that indicates an entity path at the property;
sending, by the monitoring system and using the first data that indicates the entity path at the property, first 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, by the monitoring system and from one or more sensors that are located throughout the property, sensor data from one or more sensors included in a monitoring system that is configured to monitor the property;
determining, by the monitoring system, that the sensor data indicates unusual activity at the property;
determining, by the monitoring system and using the sensor data, a location on the property associated with an entity;
determining, by the monitoring system and 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, by the monitoring system and 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, by the monitoring system, second 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.
