Abstract
A mobile monitoring device that may be used to increase the security of property is disclosed. The monitoring device includes a controller and a transceiver that is in electronic communication with the controller. The transceiver is capable of communicating with a computing device. At least one sensor is also added to the monitoring device. The sensor is in electronic communication with the controller and is designed such that it is capable of detecting a change in a condition of the property being monitored. The monitoring device is also designed such that it may execute programming commands received from the computing device. The monitoring device is also designed to be track-able by various methods.
