Security system with method for locatable portable electronic camera image transmission to a remote receiver

A digital process for operating a portable security transmitter comprising the steps of:

• monitoring an activation means on a portable security transmitter;
• calculating the global position of the transmitter by receiving signals from global positioning transmitters;
• acquiring an image through a camera module of the transmitter upon activation of the activation means;
• transmitting a data stream including, at least, the global position and the image;
• and
• storing the data stream substantially simultaneously on a memory means in the portable security transmitter.

A method of detecting a breach of security in a first location and providing information regarding the breach of security to security personnel in a remote location, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) upon the breach of security, acquiring an image of the first location and converting the image into transmittable data representative of the image;
• (b) upon the breach of security, acquiring global positioning signals, calculating the position of the first location based upon the acquired global positioning signals, and converting the calculated position into transmittable data representative of the position;
• (c) generating a transmittable signal that contains the data representative of the image and the data representative of the position;
• (d) transmitting the transmittable signal to the remote location;
• (e) receiving the transmitted signal at the remote location;
• (f) at the remote location, extracting from the received signal the data representative of the image and the data representative of the position;
• (g) at the remote location, reconstructing the image and the position from the extracted data;
• and
• (h) presenting the reconstructed image and position in a form usable by security personal to identify the location and nature of the breach of security.
