1. An alarm system to be activated by an intruder at any protected entrance of a premise having a plurality of protected entrances and producing an alarm sound at the intruded upon protected entrance and subsequently an alarm sound at a central location in the premise, wherein:

  • each protected entrance has a sensor switch attached thereto, the sensor switch attached to any intruded upon protected entrance being switched by the entrance of the intruder threat, each protected entrance having a buzzer thereat, the buzzer at any intruded upon protected entrance activated with power from a battery switched by the sensor switch attached to the intruded upon protected entrance, whereby the buzzer associated with the intruded upon entrance is activated and emits said alarm sound at the intruded upon protected entrance, the sound produced by different buzzers in the alarm system being substantially identical, and wherein said alarm system further comprises;

    a microphone proximate said central location to receive sound from any activated buzzer and convert said sound into a varying electrical signal,a front-end comparator means whereby said varying electrical signal is compared to a threshold level, simultaneously amplified when beyond said threshold level, and converted to a pulse sequence signal of two states as given by the output of said comparator means,a capacitor means post said front-end comparator means whereby charging of said capacitor means is altered by said pulse sequence signal,and a comparator means post said capacitor means whereby an alarm at said central location is activated when the charging of said capacitor means reaches a voltage threshold level.
