Patent Images
1. A security system for a building, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor installed inside the building to monitor environment data, wherein a memory is built inside the at least one sensor to store a default value, and the default value is applied to compare to subsequent environment data recorded by the at least one sensor;
at least one image capture device installed at a particular place near the at least one sensor to capture image data where said at least one sensor monitors the particular place;
a control unit communicating with said at least one sensor and said at least one image capture device, wherein the control unit receives signals output from the at least one sensor and controls the at least one image capture device to capture image data;
a communication interface, which serves as an interface between the control unit and the Internet or a mobile telecommunication network, whereby the captured image data is transmitted to a cell phone owned by a responsible person of the building;
wherein the control unit is able to dial an emergency telephone number through the Internet to a police authority or a security service firm; and
an alarming device connected to the control unit to generate alarming signals.

Abstract
A household security system provides multiple ultrasonic sensors installed at different positions inside the house to monitor the surrounding interior status, wherein initially monitored statuses are used as the default values for comparing to the subsequent monitored data. If the comparing result indicates that the surrounding status has changed, a signal is transmitted to a control unit that will activate an image capturing device to collect the surrounding pictures. The captured images are transmitted to a house-owner'"'"'s cell phone via a mobile telecommunication network. Based on the displayed images, the house-owner is able to determine whether the alarm should be activated or the police should be informed.
