Abstract

A system for detection of intrusions and reporting those intrusions, including a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors providing a corresponding plurality of detection outputs to a remote controller, the remote controller operative to receive at least one of the plurality of detection outputs and to provide a high speed output indication of intrusion presence.

Claims

1. An intrusion detection and reporting system comprising:

at least one sensor for detecting an intrusion; and

a controller in communication with the at least one sensor via a radio network, wherein the controller comprises a display,

wherein in response to detection of an intrusion, the at least one sensor transmits time information and location information regarding the intrusion via the radio network to the controller, and the display shows the time information and location information to a user.

2. The system as in claim 1, wherein the at least one sensor captures an image of the intrusion and transmits the image of the intrusion to the controller.

3. The system as in claim 2, wherein the image of the intrusion is viewable by the user on the display.

4. The system as in claim 1, wherein the location information includes geographic coordinates of a location of the intrusion.

5. The system as in claim 1, wherein the location information includes a layout of a monitored building.

6. The system as in claim 5, wherein the location information includes the location of the intrusion within the layout of the monitored building.

7. The system as in claim 1, wherein the location information includes a layout of an area.

8. The system as in claim 7, wherein the location information includes the location of the intrusion within the layout of the area.

9. The system as in claim 1, wherein the location information includes a map display and a specific location of the intrusion within the map display.

10. The system as in claim 1, further comprising an annunciator, wherein the annunciator comprises a radio which is in communication with the controller, and in response to receiving a signal from the controller over the radio the annunciator vibrates to alert the user of an intrusion.

11. The system as in claim 10, wherein the controller communicates with the annunciator via a wireless communication link.

12. The system as in claim 1, wherein the controller is housed in a wrist-mountable device.

13. The system as in claim 1, wherein the controller is housed in a personal data assistant.

14. The system as in claim 1, wherein the controller is housed in a computer.

15. The system as in claim 1, wherein a first sensor and a second sensor of the at least one sensor are associated in series with the controller.

16. The system as in claim 1, wherein the at least one sensor is an infrared motion sensor.

17. The system as in claim 1, wherein information regarding the intrusion is transmitted from the controller to a remote monitoring location using a long-haul radio.

18. The system as in claim 1, wherein the at least one sensor and the controller are compatible with at least one of:

cellular protocol, Bluetooth protocol, Zig Bee protocol.

19. An intrusion detection and reporting network comprising:

at least one sensor; and

a wireless wearable controller adapted to communicate with the at least one sensor, wherein the wireless controller comprises a display screen;

wherein the at least once sensor detects and wirelessly transmits intrusion information, comprising time information and location information of the intrusion, to the controller, and in response to the report, a user may view the intrusion information on the display screen.

20. A method for detecting and reporting an intrusion, comprising:

placing at least one sensor in an monitor area;

detecting an intrusion in the monitor area with the at least one sensor;

transmitting time information and location information about the intrusion from the at least one sensor to a controller via a wireless radio network;

displaying time information and location information concerning the intrusion to a user via a controller display.
