Systems and methods for animal containment and premises monitoring

A motion detector for a premises security system, the motion detector comprising:

• a primary signal transmitter arranged to transmit a primary wireless signal;
• a primary signal detector arranged to receive a reflected portion of the primary wireless signal and responsively generate a primary signal detector output signal;
• a secondary signal detector arranged to communicate with a mobile signal transmitter of an animal collar or tag, and arranged to sense a condition indicative of any of (i) presence of the animal collar or tag proximate to the motion detector, (ii) absence of the animal collar or tag proximate to the motion detector, (iii) proximity of the animal collar or tag relative to the motion detector, (iv) stasis of the animal collar or tag, and (v) movement of the animal collar or tag, and responsively generate an animal status output signal indicative of said sensed condition;
• and
• a signal processing element arranged to utilize the primary signal detector output signal and the animal status output signal, and responsively generate a motion detector output signal.

The premises security system comprising:

• a motion detector including (a) a primary signal transmitter arranged to transmit a primary wireless signal, and (b) a primary signal detector arranged to receive a reflected portion of the primary wireless signal and responsively generate a motion detector output signal;
• a secondary signal detector arranged to communicate with a mobile signal transmitter of an animal collar or tag, and arranged to sense a condition indicative of any of (i) presence of the animal collar or tag proximate to the motion detector, (ii) absence of the animal collar or tag proximate to the motion detector, (iii) proximity of the animal collar or tag relative to the motion detector, (iv) stasis of the animal collar or tag, and (v) movement of the animal collar or tag, and responsively generate an animal status output signal indicative of said sensed condition;
• and
• a signal processing element arranged to utilize the animal status output signal in determining any of (a) whether the motion detector output signal should be transmitted to a control element of the premises security system and (b) whether the premises security system should output a premises security system alarm signal.
