Alarm transmission apparatus
First Claim
1. An alarm system, comprising:
- an enclosure;
a microprocessor secured within said enclosure;
a motion sensor secured within said enclosure, said motion sensor for monitoring a zone outside of said enclosure and adapted to alert said microprocessor of a security breach upon the detection of a change in condition within said zone;
a motion detector secured within said enclosure, said motion detector adapted to detect unauthorized movement of said enclosure and to alert said microprocessor thereof; and
a communications device secured within said enclosure, said communications device in electrical communication with said microprocessor, and said microprocessor adapted to initiate and complete a wireless transmission to a remote location immediately after expiration of a delay period following said alert by said motion sensor or immediately upon said alert by said motion detector during said delay period.

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.

19. An alarm system, comprising:
-
a sealed enclosure;
a microprocessor secured within said enclosure;
a motion sensor secured within said enclosure, said motion sensor for monitoring a zone outside of said enclosure and adapted to alert said microprocessor of a security breach upon the detection of a change in condition within said zone;
a motion detector secured within said enclosure, said motion detector adapted to detect unauthorized movement of said enclosure and to alert said microprocessor thereof;
at least one wireless transmitting device external to said enclosure;
