Method and apparatus for usinig thermal data to trigger identification process

A security system, comprising;

• a processor;
• a thermal image sensor connected to the processor;
• and
• one or more devices enabled to communicate with the processor;
• wherein with the security system in a low power sleep mode, the thermal sensor detects and collects thermal data from a thermal object body and the processor determines if it matches predefined parameters for a thermal body and the processor activates any one of one or more first external devices based on the match.

A method for implementing a security system in a low power sleep mode, comprising the steps of:

• positioning the system having a predetermined operational range and in a state of low power sleep mode;
• connecting a processor and data store to a thermal image sensor;
• detecting and collecting thermal data from a thermal object body in the predetermined operational range;
• determining, by the thermal sensor, if the thermal data matches predefined parameters for a thermal body;
• and
• if the determination is that the thermal data matches predefined parameters, activating one or more first devices enabled to communicate with the processor.
