1. A security system for a facility, said security system comprising:
- a central monitoring station that controls one or more security measures for protection of the facility; and
,a heart rate monitor disposed in relation to an individual expected to be situated in or about the facility that detects a heart rate of the individual, said heart rate monitor being in wireless communication with the central monitoring station;
wherein the central monitoring station selectively implements one or more of the security measures for protection of the facility in response to a determination that the heart rate detected by the heart rate monitor is abnormal and elevated above a normal heart rate for the individual, the elevated heart rate being indicative of the individual experiencing stress due to exposure to an unwanted activity at the facility.

Abstract
A security system is provided for a facility (10). The security system includes: a central monitoring station (20) that controls one or more security measures for the facility (10); and, a heart rate monitor (30) that detects a heart rate of an individual (50), the heart rate monitor (30) being in wireless communication with the central monitoring station (20). Suitably, the central monitoring station (20) selectively implements one or more of the security measures in response to a determination that an abnormal heart rate has been detected.

8. A method for controlling a security system for a facility, said method comprising:
-
(a) detecting a heart rate of an individual expected to be situated in or about the facility using a heart rate monitor disposed in relation to the individual; (b) determining the detected heart rate is abnormal and elevated above a normal heart rate for the individual, the elevated heart rate being indicative of the individual experiencing stress due to exposure to an unwanted activity at the facility; and
,(c) selectively implementing one or more security measures for protection of the facility in response to the determining in (b). - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of protecting a facility from unwanted activity, comprising:
-
a) receiving an abnormal heart rate signal or message indicating that a heart rate of an individual expected to be situated in or about the facility is abnormal, the heart rate of the individual being detected by a heart rate monitor disposed in relation to the individual, the abnormal heart rate determination being made by the heart rate monitor, wherein the abnormal heart rate determination for the individual is based on the detected heart rate being beyond a determined threshold from a baseline heart rate for the individual for a determined period of time, the detected heart rate being elevated above the baseline heart rate, the elevated heart rate being indicative of the individual experiencing stress due to exposure to an unwanted activity at the facility; b) obtaining an established location of at least one of the heart rate monitor and the individual; c) selectively implementing one or more security measures for protection of the facility in response to receiving the abnormal heart rate signal or message and using the established location; d) controlling operation of a security camera arranged in or about the facility and pointing the security camera to the established location in conjunction with implementation of the one or more security measures; and e) triggering an alarm condition in conjunction with implementation of the one or more security measures and notifying an alarm monitoring entity of the alarm condition. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
