Remote signalling apparatus, particularly suitable for remote surveillance purposes
First Claim
1. A remote signalling apparatus particularly suitable for remote surveillance purposes and characterized by comprising:
- a receiver (1) capable of receiving coded signals originating from a transmitter unit being provided with sensors for detecting the occurrence of events to be monitored, and further capable of providing alarm signals and signals indicating malfunction of said receiver and said transmitter unit associated therewith; and
a fixed unit (43) for the supervision and operation of at least one said receiver coupled thereto, said fixed unit comprising;
a compartment (42) for housing, and mechanically locking therein, each said receiver;
personalized means for releasing a mechanical lock means (45) associated with said compartment and for mechanically locking said receiver unit into the said compartment;
optical and acoustic alarm indicator means (46) for indicating the occurrence of said signals indicative of a malfunction of each said receiver and respective transmitter unit and/or for indicating the occurrence of said coded signals received by each said receiver and originating from said respective transmitter;
means (76,
77) for remotely retransmitting the occurrence of the said alarm signals and said signals indicating malfunction;
means (70) for recognizing an intended operator who is authorized to intervene following an indication by said fixed unit of a signal indicative of a detected event or malfunction relative to each said receiver, whereby recognition of said operator enables the remote retransmission of said occurrence of the said signals to be suspended; and
means (53,
54) for chronologically recording the occurrence of all of the indicated and signalled events of said apparatus.

Abstract
The present invention pertains to a remote signalling apparatus particularly suitable for remote surveillance purposes and provides direct signalling of occurred events via the actuation of optical and acoustic alarm reporting devices, and further provides for retransmission signalling of occurred events via the use of remote signalling systems of the radio-electronic transmission type and/or the telephonic transmission type. Apparatus is provided to detect and indicate the occurrence of a malfunction of a transmitter or receiver unit, while further providing irrefutable proof of occurred events by recording the occurrence of the same along with the date and time of such occurrence.
