Abstract

A security system and method which includes a main automatically acting circuit 10 and portions which may be manually activated by a user to provide better deterrence to a home invader or burglar (11-14). The manually activated portions turn on an audible alarm and/or lights which may or may not be in the automatic section. Thus, economy of manufacture with enhanced safety and security is achieved. A variable alarm system is thus presented to a potential intruder to more effectively terminate a possible home invasion or robbery. The method includes remote control devices and remote detection devices so a user can remotely stop a home invasion or burglary.

Claims

1. A security method for protecting a home or other environment comprising the steps of:

A) providing a main automatic circuit (10) having motion detector means for activating an audible alarm and a security light in an automatic fashion,

B) providing a panic emergency alarm (11) means which is activated manually by a user to turn on an audible alarm and provide further deterrence to a would-be intruder or burglar,

C) providing an emergency light flasher (12) means which is manually activated by the user to turn turn on flashing security lights,

D) providing that the method uses both automatic deterrence and manually activated deterrence means to provide the in-home persons with enhanced security.

2. The method of claim 1 and further including the step of providing a 911HELP button which the user can activate for enhanced security.

3. A security system for a home or other areas to be protected including the following elements:

A) an automatic warning electronic circuit means (10) including warning lights and audible interior and exterior sounds and which includes camera and motion sensor means to deter a possible home invader,

B) manually activated electronic circuit means (11,12) for setting off extra flashing lights and extra warning sounds, such being activated by a person in a home being attacked or threatened,

C) further manually activated means (13) for setting off extra floodlights to alert police and neighbors to the emergency situation,

D) further manually activated means (14) for dialing 911-HELP line and either speaking directly to a help provider or leaving a prerecorded message that help is urgently needed by a home dweller.

4. The system of claim 3 and further including a control panel (20), remote control means (21,22,23), cameras (31,32,33) and recording means (41,42,43).

5. A series of security method steps for protecting a home and persons therein comprising:

A) providing an inside home control panel (20) means which responds automatically to sensors located outside the home,

B) providing that said inside home control panel also responds to remote manually operated means and generates extra warning signals to effectively scare off a would-be intruder.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the inside home control panel (20) activates video recorders (42,43) to record intruder activity.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the inside home control panel also signals a remote computer (41) so that a user is appropriately notified.
