Global intelligent remote detection system
DCFirst Claim
1. A security system for tracking a security status of an asset comprising:
- an agent connected with the asset, the agent comprising;
a sensing device for monitoring a security of the asset;
a processor for compiling a security data to generate a security status; and
a transceiver for transmitting data from and receiving data to the agent;
a master control unit for receiving and compiling said security status from a plurality of agents and for transmitting said compiled security status; and
a global operations center for receiving said compiled security status and analyzing the compiled security status to detect a security threat.

Abstract
A security system and method for monitoring a security status of fixed and mobile assets. The security system comprises an agent connected with the asset. The agent includes a receiver for receiving; a sensing device for monitoring a security of the asset; a processor for compiling the a security data to generate a security status; and a wireless transceiver for transmitting data to a master control unit. The master control unit retransmits the security status to an global operations center for processing the security status to detect a security threat. In response to a security threat, the global operations center initiates and action or counter measure. For mobile assets the security system also tracks a location of the asset as the is transported between a shipper'"'"'s loading dock and a designated distribution center, including an origination port and a destination port. For fixed agents, the security system includes an interface for interfacing an existing security device to the master control unit.
