Detection system
First Claim
1. A detector for deployment at an existing host device, the existing host device having a connectivity component and device specific equipment with functionality that is not related to the detector, the detector comprising:
- a sensor for use in detecting an occurrence of an event;
a management device coupled to the sensor and configured for managing operation of the sensor;
communications equipment coupled to the management device and configured for communicating information related to the occurrence of the event to a detector management device via one or more communications networks; and
a splitter module for providing simultaneous connectivity for the detector and the device specific equipment over the connectivity component of the existing host device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a detector network across one or more existing communications systems. In one implementation, a system is provided. The system includes a plurality of hosts, each host hosting one or more detectors operable to detect an occurrence of an event, the hosts including functionality that is not related to the detectors and including communication functionality. The system also includes a management device for managing the detectors and one or more communications networks linking the detectors and the management device using the communication functionality of the respective host.
