Disclosed are techniques that use mixed reality, e.g., augmented reality and virtual reality technologies to improve analysis of security situations. These techniques merge the physical world embodied in security systems with the virtual world of policies and analytics. Upon receiving an assertion of an alarm condition from a security system that processes sensor signals a server sends messages to determine nearby sensors to turn on and start sending data back to the servers. Further implementations have the servers modify operation of the sensors to collect more relevant sensor data according to the alarm condition. The servers control a mixed reality device on which information such as a video feed is rendered on a display associated with the device, as well as data determined by the servers based on analysis of the received sensor data.
