Abstract

The present invention relates to a security arrangement (1) comprising: a housing (2); a sensor arrangement (3) arranged in said housing; a camera device (4) arranged in said housing; and a communication unit (5) arranged in said housing; wherein said sensor arrangement is configured to detect movement of a door (6) being monitored by said security arrangement and said security arrangement is configured to in response to detection of movement of said door activate said camera device and take a picture, and wherein said security arrangement is configured to transmit a taken picture to a contact list utilizing said communication unit.

Claims

1. A security arrangement comprising:

a mobile unit operatively coupled to a door comprising;

a housing;

a sensor arrangement arranged in said housing;

a camera device arranged in said housing;

a GPS arranged in said housing; and

a communication unit arranged in said housing;

wherein said sensor arrangement includes a proximity detector to detect movement of said door being monitored by said security arrangement and said security arrangement is configured to in response to detection of movement of said door activate said camera device and take a picture;

wherein said security arrangement is configured to transmit from said security arrangement a GPS position together with a taken picture to a contact list utilizing said communication unit; and

wherein said sensor arrangement includes a motion detector to monitor motion in an area and said security arrangement is configured to transmit from said security arrangement a notification to said contact list utilizing said communication unit when no motion in said area has been detected during a predetermined period of time;

wherein said security arrangement is attached to said door during use.

2. The security arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said sensor arrangement is configured to transmit a notification to said contact list utilizing said communication unit when no movement of said door has been detected during a predetermined period of time.

3. The security arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said sensor arrangement comprises a microphone for registering sound, and said security arrangement is configured to transmit registered sound to said contact list utilizing said communication unit.

4. The security arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said sensor arrangement comprises a tampering sensor for detecting removal of said security arrangement from said door it is attached to, and said security arrangement is configured to transmit a notification of tempering to said contact list utilizing said communication unit when indicated by said tampering sensor.

5. A method for a security arrangement, comprising the following steps:

providing the security arrangement comprising a mobile unit having a housing, a sensor arrangement arranged in said housing, a camera arranged in said housing, a GPS arranged in said housing, and a wireless communication unit arranged in said housing;

operatively coupling the security arrangement to a door;

detecting movement of said door being monitored by said security arrangement with a sensor;

taking a picture with the camera arranged in said housing;

establishing a position of the security arrangement with said GPS arranged in said housing;

transmitting using the wireless communication unit arranged in said housing the position together with a taken picture to a contact list remote from said security arrangement; and

monitoring motion in an area with a motion sensor separate from the sensor detecting movement of the door at said security arrangement; and

transmitting a notification to said contact list remote from said security arrangement when no motion in said area has been detected during a predetermined period of time;

wherein said security arrangement is attached to said door during use.

6. The method according to claim 5, comprising the steps of:

attaching said security arrangement to said door during use.

7. The security arrangement according to claim 5 wherein the sensor is a motion sensor.

8. A security arrangement comprising:

a wireless, mobile unit operatively coupled to a door comprising;

housing;

a sensor arrangement arranged in said housing;

a camera device arranged in said housing;

a positioning means arranged in said housing; and

a communication unit arranged in said housing;

wherein said sensor arrangement comprises at least a vibration sensor configured to detect movement of said door being monitored by said security arrangement and said security arrangement is configured to in response to detection of movement of said door activate said camera device and take a picture and a motion detector configured to detect movement in an area about said security arrangement;

wherein said security arrangement transmits a security arrangement position together with said picture to a contact list using said communication unit and transmits a notification to the contact list using said communication unit when no motion in said area has been detected during a predetermined period of time;

wherein said security arrangement is attached to said door during use.
