1. A surveillance system, comprising:
- a monitoring system, the monitoring system further comprises;
a plurality of identification sensors that are each located in and monitor an area of interest of the surveillance system; and
a graphical user interface that receives data from each of the plurality of identification sensors and through which a user interacts with each of the plurality of identification sensors; and
a detection system that couples tampering alerts to the monitoring system via a communication network, the detection system further comprises;
a respective measurement device coupled to a surface of each of the plurality of identification sensors and that measures acceleration associated with mechanical shock caused by tampering, wherein the detection system is connected with the respective measurement device on each of the plurality of identification sensors, communicates with the measurement device and processes acceleration data measured by the measurement device;
an alert system of the detection system that generates an alert based on the processing of the acceleration data from at least one of the plurality of measurement devices and transmits the generated alert to the monitoring system via the communication network, wherein the monitoring system receives the generated alert and communicates the generated alert to the user via the graphical user interface, the generated alert communicated to the user including an identifier of the at least one of the plurality of measurement devices associated with the tampering.

Abstract
This invention relates generally to the field of surveillance systems, and in particular to fault and alarm condition reporting to a monitoring system. The surveillance system comprises a plurality of identification sensors and a measurement device coupled to each of the plurality of identification sensors for measuring the acceleration thereof. A detection system connected with each of the plurality of identification sensors processes acceleration data measured from each of the measurement devices. Based on the processing of the acceleration data, an alert is generated by an alert system.
