Systems and methods for leveraging Internet-of-Things devices in security systems are provided. Such systems and methods can include receiving an alarm signal from a first IoT device responsive to the first IoT device detecting a sound indicative of an intrusion, requesting data from a second device responsive to receiving the alarm signal from the first IoT device, determining whether the data from the second device confirms the intrusion, and triggering an alarm responsive to the data from the second device confirming the intrusion.
