Abstract

An alarm system is disclosed. The alarm system includes an enclosure; at least one sensor, the sensor is configured to communicate a signal to the enclosure; and at least one of a wireless transceiver positioned in the enclosure, the transceiver configured to receive an activation signal and transmit an alarm signal.

Claims

1. An alarm system, comprising:

an enclosure;

at least one sensor, the sensor is configured to communicate a signal to the enclosure; and

at least one of a wireless transceiver positioned in the enclosure, the transceiver configured to receive an activation signal and transmit an alarm signal.

2. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising a touch activated control panel that is illuminated when the panel is touched by an outside element.

3. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising at least one power tamper element, wherein the tamper element is a lift off plate configured on the bottom of the base unit.

4. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising at least one of a GPS package and a cellular radio package, wherein the package includes a separate power source.

5. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

at least one hot button group to allow the system to be divided into sub-systems and armed or disarmed separately.

6. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising an alarm auto connect feature.

7. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising a sensor auto connect feature.

8. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising an alarm clock.

9. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising an external and remote communication element or sign.

10. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising an anti jamming device.

11. The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising a wireless or WI-FI transceiver element.

16. The portable alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

at least one vibration sensor in communication with at least one anti-theft indicator.

17. The portable alarm system of claim 7, wherein the vibration sensor is at least one of a mechanical sensor and a micro-electromechanical (MEM'"'"'s) sensor.

12. A portable consumer alarm system, comprising:

a base unit configured with an integrated processor and control panel,

a first alarm segment configured with at least one wireless alarm sensor and associated with a consumer premises having a perimeter; and

at least one additional alarm segment configured with at least one wireless alarm sensor;

wherein at least one of the processor and the control panel are configured to separately control the first alarm segment and the at least one additional alarm segment, the at least one additional alarm segment is configured adjacent to the first segment, and wherein the first alarm segment and the at least one additional alarm segment are separately armed and disarmed.

13. The portable alarm system of claim 12, further comprising:

a handheld remote configured to arm, disarm and activate at least one signal corresponding to at least one emergency responder.

14. The portable alarm system of claim 12, further comprising:

at least one of a GPS package configured within the base unit and selectively connected with a power source.

15. The portable alarm system of claim 14, wherein the power source is at least one of rechargeable or conventional, such that the rechargeable power source is configured to be at least one of solar and conventional.

18. A method, comprising:

providing an alarm base unit;

interconnecting the alarm base unit with at least one alarm sensor wirelessly to a first control element;

interconnecting at least one additional alarm sensor wirelessly to the base unit;

selecting the at least one additional alarm sensor as a hot button alarm sensor;

arming the hot button alarm sensor; and

selectively arming and disarming the first alarm sensor while maintaining an arm status on the hot button alarm sensor.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

configuring a wireless communication interface between the alarm base unit and at least one portable handheld control device, wherein the control device is configured to remotely arm and disarm the alarm base unit.

20. The method of claim 18, further comprising selectively engaging a tracking device.
