Abstract
A life and property protection system including a monitoring member having a plurality of sensors and devices for monitoring the interior of the vehicle and communicating with phone devices of designated individuals and 911 dispatch. The system has an activation mode that is triggered when motion is detected, a pre-alarm mode triggered when preset criteria is met, and an alarm mode when the system is not manually reset after a preset time period following a text to designated phone devices.
Claims19
A life and property detection system, comprising:
- a monitoring member having a housing and a microcomputer with an array of sensors and devices and a micro-computer attached to the housing;
- wherein, the monitoring member is associated with a vehicle and configured to operate in an activation mode, a pre-alarm mode, and an alarm mode;
- wherein when motion is detected in an interior of the vehicle by a motion sensor of the array of sensors and devices, a camera, a sound sensor, a CO2 sensor, and a temperature sensor are activated and the monitoring member begins searching for a phone device.
A method of performing a life detection system, comprising the steps of:
- installing a monitoring member having a housing and a microcomputer with an array of sensors and devices in a vehicle;
- detecting motion within an interior of the vehicle;
- activating a temperature sensor upon detecting motion within an interior of the vehicle;
- meeting preset criteria associated with the monitoring member;
- sending at least one text to a phone device requiring a manual reset within a preset time period;
- and
- sending an alarm to a designated emergency service with GPS coordinates if no manual reset occurs within the preset time period.
A method of performing a life detection system, comprising the steps of:
- installing a monitoring member in a vehicle;
- providing the monitoring member with a reset button;
- monitoring constantly an interior of the vehicle with a motion sensor of the monitoring member;
- detecting motion within an interior of the vehicle with the motion sensor;
- sending a signal from the motion sensor to a processor of the monitoring member to activate with a software a camera, a sound sensor, and a temperature sensor;
- searching for a personal device with the processor, wherein the personal device is assigned to a defined participant;
- sensing a predefined criteria related to one of a group consisting of the personal device exceeding a predefined distance from the mounting member, the temperature sensor detecting a temperature outside of a predefined temperature, sending a first message to a first personal device associated with a first defined participant within a first predefined period of time after the predefined criteria is sensed;
- sending a second message to the first personal device associated with the first defined participant after a second predefined period of time has elapsed from the first predefined period of time, wherein the second message notifies the first defined participant that a manual reset is needed within a third predefined period of time;
- sending a third message to a second personal device associated with a second defined participant after the third predefined period of time since the second predefined period of time;
- sending a fourth message to a third personal device associated with a third defined participant after a fourth predefined period of time since the third predefined period of time;
- and
- sending a fifth message to a designated emergency service with GPS coordinates of the mounting member after a fifth predefined period of time since the fourth predefined period of time.
