Abstract
A security system including a television camera for taking a scene of a trespass upon a predetermined region at a site to be monitored, a video recorder for recording the image of the scene taken by the television camera, and a sensor for sensing a trespass and outputting a signal for starting the television camera and the video recorder. The signal output from the sensor for sensing a trespass and the outputs of a plurality of other sensors sensing other conditions at the site to be monitored are transmitted to a monitoring site remote from the site to be monitored for display at the monitoring site.
Claims1
In a security system including a daughter station unit installed at a site to be monitored for trespass upon said site and a parent station unit installed at a monitoring site remote from the daughter station unit and connected with the daughter station unit through a signal transmission path, said system comprising:
- a sensor installed at the site to be monitored for sensing a trespass upon a predetermined region and outputting a signal;
- a television camera positioned to produce an image of said predetermined region, said camera being started by said signal;
- a video recorder at the site to be monitored connected to said television camera for recording the image produced by said television camera;
- means responsive to said signal output by said sensor for transmitting said signal from said daughter station unit to said parent station unit through said signal transmission path;
- and
- means at said parent station for producing a display, upon receipt of said signal in response to said received signal;
- said system further comprising a plurality of sensors for monitoring a plurality of different conditions and said daughter station unit including means for converting the outputs of said plurality of sensors and that of said sensor for sensing a trespass into serialized codes;
- and means for transmitting said serialized codes over said signal transmission path to said parent station unit;
- said system further comprising a monitoring panel connected with said parent station unit for displaying the output of each of said sensors;
- said signal transmission path being capable of transmitting only the signals from said plurality of sensors and from said sensor for sensing a trespass.
