Abstract

A secure sealed container and mounting pole house any of a variety of security equipment. Sensing equipment, a high decibel siren, and strobes simulating police lights are removably attachable to a universal mount and control circuit. A control panel connected to the circuit enables and disables the alarm, and monitors system activity.

Claims

1. A compact, self-contained mobile security system for monitoring and recording activity, and reporting intrusions at unsecured unoccupied locations to deter theft and other crimes, the system comprising:

a reusable mobile container transported to a location to provide security to the location, the container comprising an enclosed housing fabricated of shock resistant waterproof material having a bottom portion for resting on a horizontal external surface, and a top portion covering an opening for accessing an interior of the container for installing and removing any of a variety of security devices in the container, the top portion sealed closed on the bottom portion, and a rigid mounting pole extending upwardly through a sealed pole opening in the top portion to form a sealed tamperproof container and mounting pole;

a weighted ballast in a bottom portion of the mobile container for maintaining the portable container in an upright position;

a mounting platform attached to an interior of the transportable container for receiving any of a variety of security devices attached thereto;

an electronic control circuit housed within the sealed transportable container;

a control panel having a keypad attached to an exterior of the portable container, the control panel communicating with the electronic control circuit to control the electronic circuit and a series of security devices electrically communicating with the electronic control circuit, the control panel programmed to receive a security code by an authorized user to deactivate the security system during authorized use of the location and to activate the security system for securing the location when not in authorized use;

a plurality of security devices attached to the mounting platform and the mounting post and electrically communicating with the electronic control circuit, the security devices comprising at least one security device taken from the list of security devices including a siren housed within the transportable container for sound notification of intrusion and deterrence, at least one high luminance strobe light attached to a top portion of the mounting post for visual notification of intrusion and deterrence, a voice module for recording voices and sound and broadcasting voices and sound for sound monitoring and deterrence, any of a variety of camera recording devices mounted on the mounting post for 360 degree visual monitoring and recording and transmission to at least one remote location, a communication device for dispatching personnel to the location from a remote location, any of a variety of motion detection devices including passive infrared devices and microwave devices mounted on the mounting post for 360 degree coverage for detection of intrusion;

a wired power supply connection for powering all components of the system and a large capacity backup battery for supplying power to the security system for up to one week if the wired power supply is lost;

thereby forming a compact, self-contained mobile security system for monitoring and recording activity, and reporting intrusions at unsecured unoccupied locations to deter theft and other crimes.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one high luminance strobe comprises a red strobe and a blue strobe to simulate police strobe lights.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the electronic control circuit is connected to a universal wiring harness for electrically connecting the plurality of security devices.

4. The system of claim 1 further comprising a quick connect harness for the mounting pole.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the weighted ballast comprises poured concrete in the bottom of the mobile container.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the siren comprises a 122 db ear piercing siren.

7. The system of claim 1 further comprising an auxiliary connection used on sites that are pre-wired for alarm systems in buildings to enable the arming of doors and windows once they have been installed.
