Abstract
The effects of wind noise signals from fence-mounted transducers are overcome by basing alarm indications on signal components in at least two narrow frequency bands centered on, say, 120 Hz and 240 Hz.
Claims4
A vibration-responsive intruder alarm system comprising one or more electro-mechanical transducers that provide electric signals in response to vibrations incident upon said one or more transducers, which electric signals may extend over a range of frequencies, first and second bandpass filters to pass electric signal components in respective bands of frequencies within said range, means to rectify said respective signal components and means selectively to apply one of the rectified signal components to an integrating circuit during periods when the value of the other of said rectified signal components exceeds a predetermined threshold value, an alarm indication being given if the output of said integrating circuit then exceeds a given level.
