1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a monitoring system that uses one or more rules for analysis of sensor data for a zone with one or more first boundaries that define a portion of a property, an event at the property;
determining whether the event satisfies a zone boundary adjustment criteria;
in response to determining that the event does not satisfy the zone boundary adjustment criteria, determining to skip creating one or more updated boundaries for the zone by adjusting the one or more first boundaries; and
after determining to skip creating the one or more updated boundaries for the zone:
receiving sensor data for the zone; and
analyzing, using the one or more first boundaries and the one or more rules, the sensor data for the zone to determine whether to perform an action for the zone.
