Abstract

A tactical security system can be used to secure a room. For example, such a security system may be contained in a housing sized for shipment to a location for placement in a room in order to secure the room. Various components may be included in the housing, such as a storage device configured to store data received from one or more audio or video recording devices; an access controller configured to interface with a badge reader associated with one or more access points to the room in order to selectively control access to the room; a switch configured to couple the one or more audio or video recording devices with the storage device and to couple the badge reader with the access controller; and/or a power supply configured to supply power to the devices in the housing.

Claims

1. A method for assembling a kit configured to secure a room, the method comprising:

providing a housing sized for shipment to a location for placement in a room in order to secure the room;

placing a storage device in the housing, wherein the storage device is configured to store data received from one or more audio or video recording devices;

placing an access controller in the housing, wherein the access controller is configured to interface with a badge reader associated with one or more access points to the room in order to selectively control access to the room;

placing a switch in the housing, wherein the switch is configured to couple the one or more audio or video recording devices with the storage device and to couple the badge reader with the access controller; and

placing a power supply in the housing, the power supply coupled to the storage device, the access controller, and the switch, wherein the power supply is configured for coupling to the one or more audio or video recording devices and the badge reader in the room.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising removably coupling the housing to a front panel, wherein the housing and the front panel comprise materials sufficient to protect the storage device, the access controller, the switch, and the power supply during shipment.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising placing a sensor data storage component in the housing, wherein the sensor data storage component is configured to receive data from one or more sensors, and wherein the one or more sensors detect at least one of heat, smoke, water, or noise.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the sensor data storage component is configured to couple to the switch and the power supply, wherein the one or more sensors are coupled to the switch and the power supply, and wherein the access controller is further configured to control access to the room based at least in part on data measured by the one or more sensors.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising placing a network communication component in the housing, wherein the network communication component is configured to transmit data to a location remote from the room over a network.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the network communication component is configured to couple to the switch and the power supply, and wherein the network communication component is further configured to transmit data stored in the storage device to a server over the network.

7. A security kit for securing a room, the security kit comprising:

a storage device configured to store data received from one or more audio or video recording devices;

an access controller configured to control access to a room in which the security kit is placed;

a power supply configured to supply power to components of the security kit;

a housing configured to at least partially enclose the storage device, the access controller, and the power supply; and

a front panel removably coupled to the housing, the front panel configured to at least partially enclose at least one of the storage device, the access controller, or the power supply when coupled to the housing,

wherein the security kit is sized and weighted for shipment via a commonly available shipping courier.

8. The security kit of claim 7, wherein the access control component is further configured to interface with a badge reader associated with one or more access points to the room in order to selectively control access to the room.

9. The security kit of claim 8, further comprising a switch configured to couple the one or more audio or video recording devices with the storage device and to couple the badge reader with the access control component.

10. The security kit of claim 9, wherein the power supply is coupled to the storage device, the access control component, the switch, the one or more audio or video recording devices, and the badge reader.

11. The security kit of claim 7, further comprising a sensor data storage component configured to receive data from one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors detect at least one of heat, smoke, water, or noise.

12. The security kit of claim 11, wherein the access controller is further configured to control access to the room based on the data received from the one or more sensors.

13. The security kit of claim 7, further comprising a network communication component configured to transmit data to a location remote from the room over a network.

14. The security kit of claim 13, wherein the network communication component is further configured to transmit data stored in the storage device to a server over the network.

15. The security kit of claim 7, wherein the access controller is further configured to:

unlock the room in response to a first user requesting access to the room; and

lock the room in response to a second user requesting access to the room.

16. A security kit for securing a room, the security kit comprising:

a storage device configured to store data received from one or more audio or video recording devices;

an access controller configured to interface with a badge reader associated with one or more access points to the room in order to selectively control access to the room;

a switch coupled to the storage device and the access controller, the switch configured to connect the one or more audio or video recording devices with the storage device and to connect the badge reader with the access controller;

a power supply configured to supply power to the storage device, the access controller, the switch, the one or more audio or video recording devices, and the badge reader;

a housing configured to at least partially enclose the storage device, the access controller, and the power supply; and

a front panel removably coupled to the housing, the front panel configured to at least partially enclose at least one of the storage device, the access controller, or the power supply when coupled to the housing,

wherein the security kit is configured for shipment.

17. The security kit of claim 16, further comprising a sensor data storage component configured to receive data from one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors detect at least one of heat, smoke, water, or noise.

18. The security kit of claim 17, wherein the sensor data storage component is coupled to the switch and the power supply, wherein the one or more sensors are coupled to the switch and the power supply, and wherein the access controller controls whether the badge reader allows the user access to the room based at least in part on data measured by the one or more sensors.

19. The security kit of claim 16, further comprising a network communication component configured to transmit data to a location remote from the room over a network.

20. The security kit of claim 18, wherein the network communication component is coupled to the switch and the power supply, and wherein the network communication component is further configured to transmit data stored in the storage device to a server over the network.
