1. An electronic monitoring and protection system, comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
for each user of a plurality of users:
electronically receive an indication from the user granting permission to one or more servers to access security data including one or more of audio security data and video security data resulting from monitoring of an area by at least one respective monitoring device associated with the user;
based on the received indication, electronically receive the security data from the at least one respective monitoring device associated with the user; and
electronically receive an indication from the user identifying at least one person to be protected by the electronic monitoring and protection system;
electronically identify one or more subjects and one or more characteristics of the one or more subjects based on received security data from respective monitoring devices of different users of the plurality of users;
electronically determine, based on one or more of: the received security data received from respective monitoring devices of different users of the plurality of users and new security data from respective monitoring devices of different users, an interaction is occurring or has occurred between the one or more subjects and the at least one person to be protected by the electronic monitoring and protection system;
and
electronically initiate an action when a threat level has exceeded a predetermined threshold for the at least one person to be protected by the electronic monitoring and protection system.
