Abstract

A security alarm system comprises a personal pager device which is electronically linked with the user'"'"'s residence and motor vehicle. An electronic signal is immediately transmitted to the pager upon unauthorized intrusion of the residence and/or motor vehicle. The electronic signal is converted at the pager to produce either a tactile, audible, and/or visual signal. No audible alarm occurs at the site of the intrusion.

Claims

1. A security alarm and paging system comprising:

a residence structure having first access areas subject to unauthorized intrusion;

first electronic means for transmitting a first electronic signal via free space upon occurrence of an unauthorized intrusion of the residence structure, said first electronic means including a plurality of first sensors, each of said first sensors being selectively positioned proximate each of said first access areas within the residence structure;

a motor vehicle having second access areas subject to unauthorized intrusion;

second electronic means for transmitting a second electronic signal via free space upon occurrence of an unauthorized intrusion of the motor vehicle, said second electronic means including a plurality of second sensors, each of said second sensors being selectively positioned proximate each of said second access areas within the motor vehicle; and

a personal pager device having third electronic means for receiving said first electronic signal and said second electronic signal, said pager device including a readout screen in electronic communication with a controller that displays a specific one of said first and second access areas of the residence structure or the motor vehicle in which an unauthorized intrusion has occurred, said pager device further including a timer in electronic communication with said controller for emitting a signal at the end of a predetermined period.

2. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 1, wherein said first electronic means includes a first microprocessor and said second electronic means includes a second microprocessor.

3. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 1, wherein said pager device includes a fourth electronic means for converting said first electronic signal and said second electronic to an alarm.

4. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 3, wherein said alarm is selected from the group consisting of a tactile alarm, a visual alarm and an audible alarm.

5. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 1, wherein said pager device includes means for disarming said first electronic means and said second electronic means.
