Abstract

Surveillance system for automatic detection and presentation of threat indications, the system comprising several threat indication detectors and at least one central unit adapted for communication with said threat indication detectors and for presentation of threat images. Threat information signals are transferred automatically from the threat indication detectors to the central unit, and each threat indication detector can be located both immobile, semi-mobile of mobile.

Claims

1. A system for detection and presentation of threat indications, the system comprising several threat indication detectors and at least one central unit adapted to communicate with said threat indication detectors and for presentation of threat indications, wherein said threat indication detectors comprise sensing means for threat indication sensing, time indication means, positioning means, and communication means for automatic transfer of threat information signals to a central unit, said threat information signals indicating type of threat, detector identity, detector position and point of time, said central unit comprising means for automatic compilation of received threat information signals and presentation means for display of continuously updated threat pictures, wherein said threat indication detectors are adapted both for immobile and mobile locations.

2. A system according to claim 1, characterized in that the communication means is arranged to establish a wireless connection with said central unit.

3. A system according to claim 2, characterized in that said communication means is arranged to establish a wire connection with said central unit in the case of an immobile location of the threat indication detector.

4. A system according to claim 2, wherein said connection is adapted for two-way communication.

5. A system according to claim 1, further comprising one or more threat indication detectors adapted exclusively for immobile locations, provided with communication means configured to establish a wire connection with said central unit.

6. A system according to claim 1, further comprising at least one threat indication detector arranged to be portable.

7. A system according to claim 1, further comprising at least one threat indication detector arranged to be mounted on a vehicle.

8. A system according to claim 1, wherein the presentation means of the central unit is adapted to present threat pictures on a display as a map provided with superimposed and continuously updated threat indications markers.

9. A system according to claim 1, wherein the central unit comprises a database for storing threat information.

10. A threat indication detector adapted to be included in a system for detection and presentation of threat indications, according to claim 1.
