Community security system using intelligent information sharing

A community security system managed by a server for monitoring a collective number of predetermined detection zones each having at least one dwelling positioned thereon and each having certain group members permitted to be in each predetermined detection zone without restriction, the security system comprising:

• at least two detection devices for detecting human movement affixed in a predetermined location within each of the collective number of predetermined detection zones, the at least two detection devices being in network communication with each other and where the detection devices have geo-location tags and where the server stores the associated geo-location tags of each of the at least two detection devices to register the location of any movement detected by any of the at least two detection devices in each of the collective number of predetermined detection zones;
• at least two detection devices for detecting human movement affixed at predetermined locations in a second security area where the first security area and second security area are positioned adjacent to one another and where the at least two detection devices on each of the first and second security areas are positioned outside of the dwelling on the privately owned lot bounded by the first and second security areas detection zone;
• the at least two detection devices in each of the first and second security zone,
• the server being in network communication with at least one of the at least two detection devices in each predetermined determined detection zones and with at least one personal mobile devices of a group member permitted to be in each predetermined detection zone;
• at least one of the at least two detection devices in each predetermined detection zone generating an alert notification when unauthorized human movement is detected and communicating the alert notification to the server;
• and
• the server communicating any received alert notifications from the at least one of the at least two detection devices in each predetermined detection zone to at least one personal mobile device of a group member based upon the physical location of the personal mobile devices of the group members at the time unauthorized human movement is detected to alert at least one group member of movement detected by any one of the at least two detection devices in each predetermined detection zone.

A community security system for monitoring a residential community consisting of two or more privately owned lots having dwelling thereon, where each privately owned lot within the residential community has lot boundaries that define a security area and where each security area has group members permitted to be in each security area without restriction, the security system comprising:

• at least two detection devices for detecting human movement affixed at predetermined locations in a first security area;
• at least two detection devices for detecting human movement affixed at predetermined locations in a second security area where the first security area and second security area are positioned adjacent to one another and share at least one common lot boundary;
• where the at least two detection devices on each of the first and second security areas are positioned outside of the dwelling on the privately owned lot bounded by the first and second security areas;
• the at least two detection devices in the first security area are in network communication with each other to create a first security system within the first security area that independently monitors the first security area and that can be controlled by one or more of the group members permitted to be in the first security area;
• the at least two detection devices in the second security area are in network communication with each other to create a second security system within the second security area that independently monitors the second security area and that can be controlled by one or more of the group members permitted to be in the second security area, such that the first security area and second security area are private security areas each monitored by individual personal security systems, which includes the at least two detection devices in each of the first and second security areas;
• a server in network communication with each individual personal security system, where the server facilitates the exchange of information between the individual personal security systems about intruders such that a user of one individual personal security system can be alerted of intruders detected on another individual personal security system;
• where at least one of the at least two detection devices in the second security area is in network communication with at least one of the at least two detection devices in the first security area to create a community security system for monitoring human movement across the privately owned lots within the residential community when human movement is detected in either the first or second security area in the residential community and for notifying the group members in each of the first and second security areas in the residential community of human movement across the privately owned lots within the residential community;
• and
• where at least one personal mobile device of at least one group member in each of the first, and second security areas is in network communication with the server and where the server is capable of alerting the at least one mobile device of the at least one group member in each of the first and second security areas of human movement in either or both the first and second security areas in the residential community when human movement is detected by one of the at least two detection devices located in either or both the first and second security areas;
• and
• where the at least two detection devices in the first and second security area have geo-location tags and where the server stores the associated geo-location tag of each of the at least two detection devices to register the location of any movement detected by either of the at least two detection devices;
• and where the server can activate any of the at least two detection devices in either the first or second security areas to track detected human, movement through the residential community.
