Abstract
A portable alarm system in which the alarm functions are contained within a portable enclosure, communication is maintained between the alarm system and wireless security devices, and the alarm is capable of initiating a telephone call to a security monitoring station either by conventional hard-wired telephone lines by cellular transmission, by 1900 megahertz PCS or by other wireless technology. The system may include a wireless/cordless line seizure feature to use a nearby landline if the system is plugged into a landline that has been disabled. The system may also include a vibration/shock sensor to activate the alarm functions if the portable unit is moved or attempted to be destroyed by an intruder.
Claims11
A portable alarm system, comprising:
- a) a portable enclosure;
- b) a microprocessor secured within said enclosure;
- c) a wireless receiver adapted to receive an alarm signal from at least one zone at a structure being monitored, said wireless receiver secured within said enclosure and electrically connected to said microprocessor;
- d) a communications device in electrical communication with said microprocessor, said communications device adapted to initiate and complete a transmission when said receiver receives said signal, to a location apart from said structure;
- and
- e) a means for capturing dial-tone and transmitting said dial-tone to said communication device, said means for capturing dial-tone remotely located from said portable enclosure.
A portable alarm system, comprising:
- a) a portable enclosure;
- b) a microprocess or secured within said enclosure;
- c) a wireless receiver adapted to receive an alarm signal from at least one zone at a structure being monitored, said wireless receiver in electrical communication with said microprocessor;
- d) a device physically remote from said portable enclosure for obtaining communication to a remote security station;
- and
- e) a cordless communications device in electrical communication with said microprocessor, said cordless communications device adapted to initiate a transmission when said receiver receives said alarm signal, to a location apart from said structure, said cordless communication device adapted for communicating with said device for obtaining communication with a remote security station;
- wherein said device physically remote from said portable enclosure for obtaining communication to a remote security station allows an alarm call to be sent from a location remote from said portable enclosure.
A portable alarm system, comprising:
- a) a portable enclosure;
- b) a microprocessor secured within said enclosure;
- c) an intruder detection device in electrical communication with said microprocessor;
- d) a transmission device physically remote from said portable enclosure for obtaining communication to a remote security station;
- and
- e) a wireless communications device in electrical communication with said microprocessor, said wireless communications device adapted to initiate a wireless transmission to said transmission device physically remote from said portable enclosure for obtaining communication with a remote security station;
- wherein said transmission device physically remote from said portable enclosure for obtaining communication to a remote security station is adapted to establish a connection with a remote security station.
