A method of responding to an event (e.g. intruder) detected by a security system securing a building environment comprising, at the security system, receiving and processing sensor device data to detect the event, based on detecting the event, determining a control action to be performed by a vehicle located in the environment vicinity, and transmitting a notification specifying the control action to a control system of the vehicle to trigger the control action by the vehicle. Sensor devices (e.g. motion, camera) may be installed in the building environment or vehicle. Image processing or face detection may be performed on camera image data. Control actions may comprise activating vehicle interior or exterior vehicle lights, an audible alert, an audio playback system, engine, cameras (e.g. reverse, traffic, cabin), transmitting image data to the security system, autonomously moving the vehicle. Also provided is a method controlling a smart home control system of a smart home environment to provide a home security function, comprising, receiving and processing sensor data from one or more sensor devices of a vehicle associated with the smart home, detecting a security event based on the sensor data, and in response to detecting the security event, generating a security alert.
