Abstract
A detection system having a threshold sensor for detecting indices of an emergency event in a space and a persistent sensor for continually gathering information within a space. The detection system can monitor the space to determine if an emergency event is occurring and continue to collect information regarding the space. The collected information can be transmitted to rescue workers to provide real time or updated information on people present in the space and their condition or other information.
Claims25
A detection system positioned within a space, comprising:
- a threshold sensor configured to monitor the space for an indicia of an emergency event;
- a system on a chip (“SOC”) configured to receive a warning signal from the threshold sensor if the measured indicia exceeds a predetermined level;
- and
- a persistent sensor configured to monitor the space to gather space information following signaling of the SOC by the threshold sensor that the measured indicia exceeds a predetermined level.

A method of monitoring a space, comprising:
- monitoring the space for with a threshold sensor for an indicia for an emergency event;
- providing a warning signal to a system on a chip (“SOC”) from the threshold sensor if the measured indicia exceeds a predetermined level;
- and
- gathering space information with a persistent sensor following signaling of the SOC by the threshold sensor that the measured indicia exceeds a predetermined level.
