Portable alarm system
First Claim
1. A portable alarm comprising:
- a housing, said housing having a configuration with a base at least one wall extending from said base forming a closed configuration and a top enclosing said at least one wall;
electronics in said housing for providing monitoring;
said electronics transmitting signals to a central monitoring location;
a battery in said housing for powering said electronics;
a sensor on said housing, said sensor for detecting movement of objects in proximity of said housing, said sensor electrically coupled with said electronics;
an alarm coupled with said housing for providing an audible or visual signal in response to signals from said electronics, said alarm electronically coupled with said electronics;
a device on said housing for enabling selective programming of said electronics, said device including a read out for enabling a user to visually interpret the programming, said device electrically coupled with said electronics; and
an attachment mechanism for attaching to a support, said attachment mechanism coupled with said housing.

Abstract
A monitoring system includes a portable alarm having a base unit with an electronic package. At least one sensor is associated with the electronics to transmit signals to the electronics in the event of a breach. The electronic package in turn signals a central monitoring station, as well as transmits a signal to an audible or visual alarm coupled with the base unit. Also, the base unit includes a device to selectively program the electronics to enable the user to utilize particular programs. A bracket, which retains and secures the base unit, may be secured to a surface to enable desirable positioning of the base unit within a structure.
