GPS Security Network and Tracking System
First Claim
1. An object tracking and alarm system comprising a geographic position signaling unit securely attached to the object and wirelessly interconnected to:
- 1) a monitoring station, said unit continually transmitting the geographic position of the object to the monitoring station; and
2) a base;
the system preprogrammed to transmit an alert to the monitoring station when the unit is located farther that a preset distance from the base;
said system comprising means to allow a user to deactivate the alert, and wherein, if the alert has not been deactivated and the object is moved to a location having a distance greater than the preset distance from the base, the alert is transmitted to the monitoring station and the monitoring station activates an alarm.

Abstract
An object tracking and alarm system comprising a geographic position signaling unit securely attached to the object and wirelessly interconnected to a monitoring station, an alarm pad and a base. The unit continually transmits the geographic position of the object to the monitoring station. The system transmits an alert, which can be deactivated, to the monitoring station when the unit is located farther that a preset distance from the base and a surveillance camera, an alarm, and/or a system to notify law enforcement and the user are activated. If the alert has not been deactivated and the object is moved to a location greater than the preset distance from the base, the system transmits the alert to the monitoring station, which continuously monitors and transmits updates the geographic position of the object.
