1. A method for detecting a human comprising:
- providing a plurality of transceivers;
providing a computer server communicably coupled to each transceiver in said plurality of transceivers;
a first transceiver in said plurality of transceivers receiving a first set of wireless signals from said a second transceiver in said plurality of transceivers;
said computer server receiving a first set of signal data from said first transceiver, said first set of signal data comprising data about the properties of said first set of wireless signals, said property data being generated as part of ordinary operation of said first transceiver;
said computer server creating a baseline signal profile for communications from said second transceiver to said first transceiver, said baseline signal profile being based at least in part on said wireless signal properties in said received first set of signal data, and representing characteristics of wireless transmissions from said second transceiver to said first transceiver when no human is present in said detection area;
said first transceiver receiving a second set of wireless signals from said second transceiver;
said computer server receiving a second set of signal data from said first transceiver, said second set of signal data comprising data about the properties of said second set of wireless signals, said property data being generated as part of ordinary operation of said first transceiver; and
said computer server determining whether a human is present within said detection area, said determination based at least in part on a comparison of said wireless signal properties in said received second set of wireless signal data to said baseline signal profile.
