Cordless remote alarm transmission apparatus
First Claim
1. A portable alarm system, comprising:
- a) a portable enclosure;
b) a microprocessor secured within said enclosure;
c) a wireless receiver adapted to receive an alarm signal from at least one zone at a structure being monitored, said wireless receiver secured within said enclosure and electrically connected to said microprocessor;
d) a communications device in electrical communication with said microprocessor, said communications device adapted to initiate and complete a transmission when said receiver receives said signal, to a location apart from said structure; and
e) a means for capturing dial-tone and transmitting said dial-tone to said communication device, said means for capturing dial-tone remotely located from said portable enclosure.

Abstract
A portable alarm system in which the alarm functions are contained within a portable enclosure, communication is maintained between the alarm system and wireless security devices, and the alarm is capable of initiating a telephone call to a security monitoring station either by conventional hard-wired telephone lines by cellular transmission, by 1900 megahertz PCS or by other wireless technology. The system may include a wireless/cordless line seizure feature to use a nearby landline if the system is plugged into a landline that has been disabled. The system may also include a vibration/shock sensor to activate the alarm functions if the portable unit is moved or attempted to be destroyed by an intruder.
