Alarm system having an indicator light that is external to an enclosed space for indicating the specific location of an intrusion into the enclosed space and a method for installing the alarm system
First Claim
1. An alarm system for providing an indication of a specific location of an intrusion into an enclosed space, the enclosed space being surrounded by an outer perimeter zone, the indication enabling an observer situated outside the outer perimeter zone to learn the specific location of the intrusion, the alarm system comprising:
- at least one interior sensor located within an enclosed space, the interior sensor being configured to generate a specific intrusion location signal in response to an intrusion into the enclosed space;
a light control system responsive to the specific intrusion location signal, the light control system being configured to control light emitted from an indicator light so as to indicate the specific location of the intrusion; and
an indicator light being configured to indicate the specific location of the intrusion, the indicator light being responsive to the light control system, the indicator light being located within an outer perimeter zone of the enclosed space, the indicator light being configured to emit light that is visible from outside the outer perimeter zone of the enclosed space, the indicator light being configured to direct light towards the specific location of the intrusion.

Abstract
An alarm system for indicating the specific location of an intrusion into an enclosed space, as well as a method for installing the alarm system, are disclosed. The intrusion causes illumination of an indicator light outside the enclosed space and within the outer perimeter zone of the enclosed space, thereby indicating the specific location of the intrusion. At least one interior sensor located within the enclosed space generates a specific intrusion location signal in response to movement therein. A control system responsive to the specific intrusion location signal causes the indicator light to emit light that is visible from outside the outer perimeter zone of the enclosed space. The emitted light can indicate the specific location of an intrusion by directing light towards the specific intrusion location, and/or by surrounding the specific intrusion location, and/or by activating a light display that produces readable output of the specific intrusion location.
