Abstract

A motion sensor system is provided that has several sensor units. Each sensor unit is freely movable, easily hidden and includes a motion sensor and a wireless radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The motion sensor system further includes a receiver unit, which includes a wireless radio frequency receiver and a device for communicating receipt of a signal to the user. When at least one of the motion sensors of at least one of the sensor units detects motion, the wireless radio frequency transmitter transmits a signal to the radio frequency receiver of the receiver unit. The receiver unit then communicates receipt of the signal to the user.

Claims

1. A motion sensor system comprising:

(a) one or more sensor units, each of said motion sensor units comprising a motion sensor and a wireless radio frequency (RF) transmitter, where said sensor units are adapted to be freely movable and easily hidden; and

(b) a receiver unit comprising a wireless radio frequency (RF) receiver and a means for communicating receipt of a signal to the user;

wherein when at least one of said motion sensors of said one or more sensor units detects motion, said wireless radio frequency transmitter transmits a signal to said radio frequency receiver of said receiver unit and said receiver unit communicates the receipt of the signal to the user.
