Abstract
A portable security alarm system including a movement detecting and signal transmitting member for mounting on or proximate to the object whose movement is to be detected, a signal receiving and alarm generating member for receiving a signal from the movement detecting and signal transmitting member and producing a security response, a remote control for actuating and deactuating the signal receiving and alarm generating member, an environmental monitoring member for sensing an environmental condition and providing a signal to the signal receiving and alarm generating member, a visual information gathering member for gathering visual information and providing a signal to the signal receiving and alarm generating member, an audio output member for receiving a signal from the signal receiving and alarm generating member and generating an audio output, and components for delivering a security notification to remote recipients. A security network that includes the alarm system is also disclosed. An inertial sensor for alarm system or for activating or deactivating a device is additionally disclosed.

19. An inertial sensor disposed in a movement detecting and transmitting trigger comprising an attachment device for attaching said trigger to an object whose movement is to be detected, said trigger being in combination with a security system that receives a wireless transmission of a security signal from said trigger when said sensor detects movement of said object, said security signal comprising a trigger identifier and said security system associating said trigger identifier with an object identifier and having a communication interface for sending a security alert comprising said object identifier to a remote endpoint using one or more of a telephone number, an IP address, an email address or other communication technique in response to said sensor detecting said movement, said sensor comprising a piezoelectric transducer having a piezoelectric element and a mass mounted on said piezoelectric transducer for shock-induced detachment and self-reattachment.
