COMPACT AND SELF-CONTAINED SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system to monitor and detect an intruder within a structure, the system comprising:
- a self-contained security insert configured to be mounted to and substantially contained within an electrical junction box, the security insert being capable of being coupled to a primary power source within the structure and operating as a stand-alone security device, the self-contained security insert including;
an occupancy sensor configured to detect the intruder;
a communication block coupled to the occupancy sensor and configured to transmit an intrusion signal;
a primary lighting control circuit configured to activate an externally mounted lighting device upon detection of the intruder; and
a battery backup device contained within the insert and configured to provide power to the insert upon interruption of the primary power source.

Abstract
A system to monitor and detect an intruder within a structure is disclosed. The system comprises a self-contained security insert configured to be mounted to and substantially contained within an electrical junction box. The security insert is capable of being coupled to a primary power source within the structure and operating as a stand-alone security device. The self-contained security insert includes an occupancy sensor configured to detect the intruder, a modem block coupled to the occupancy sensor and configured to transmit one or more intrusion codes to other electrical devices within the structure, a primary lighting control circuit configured to activate an externally mounted lighting device upon detection of the intruder, and a battery backup device contained within the insert and configured to provide power to the insert upon interruption of the primary power source.
