Door Security System and Method
First Claim
1. A door security system for use with a door having a lock, said door security system comprising:
- a keyless entry device configured to attach to the door and in electronic communication with the door lock, the keyless entry device configured to unlock the door lock when actuated;
a monitoring unit including;
a motion sensor configured to detect motion proximate the door when activated;
a camera configured to collect visual data when activated;
an audio device configured to emit an audible alert when actuated;
a processor in data communication with said motion sensor, said camera, said keyless entry device, and said audio device;
memory in data communication with said processor having programming stored therein;
programming in said memory that when executed by said processor causes said processor to activate said camera when said motion sensor detects motion proximate said door;
programming in said memory that when executed by said processor causes said processor to activate said camera when said audio device is activated;
programming in said memory that when executed by said processor causes said processor to selectively activate said keyless entry device to unlock the door lock.

Abstract
A door security system for use with a residential door having a lock according to the present invention includes a keyless entry device configured to attach to a door in electrical communication with the door lock. The system includes a monitoring unit having a motion sensor, a camera, an audio device (e.g. a doorbell) and a processor in data communication with the motion sensor, camera, and keyless entry device. The system includes programming that when executed by the processor causes the processor to activate the camera when the motion sensor detects motion or when the audio unit (e.g. a doorbell) is activated. The system includes programming that causes the processor to selectively activate the keyless entry device to unlock the door lock.
