1. A detection device comprising:
- a housing comprising an ultrasonic sound wave transmitter and an ultrasonic sound wave receiver, wherein the ultrasonic sound wave transmitter is configured to transmit ultrasonic sound waves to an object and the ultrasonic sound wave receiver is configured to receives a reflection of the ultrasonic sound waves and compiles a data of the sound waves;
a processor and memory operatively connected to the detection device, wherein the processor receives the data and determines a distance between the object and the housing and stores the distance on the memory; and
an alarm system operatively connected to the computer, wherein the alarm system is activated when the computer receives the data and determines the distance has changed from the stored distance.

Abstract
An alarm system with a detecting device. The detecting device includes an ultrasonic sound wave transmitter and receiver. The transmitter transmits an ultrasonic sound, an object reflects the ultrasonic sound, and the receiver receives the ultrasonic sound. A distance is determined between the object and the detecting device and is stored. The detecting device continually determines the distance using the ultrasonic sound waves and if a different distance is detected, the detecting device triggers an alarm.
