Abstract
A security monitoring and enforcement system is provided for monitoring and enforcing control in a secure environment, such as an aircraft. The system includes a security monitoring and enforcement unit (SMEU) having a visual surveillance system and an audio surveillance and communication system. The visual surveillance system is mounted to an enforcement system and housed in a ceiling of an aircraft. The SMEU is remotely operated and monitored by remote control system located on the ground. The security monitoring and enforcement system is operable continuously or when a security breach is detected. The enforcement system is activated and fired to subdue a suspect.
Claims22
A device for monitoring and enforcing control in an environment where security is desired, the device comprising:
- a mounting plate attachable to a surface;
- a carriage rotatable with respect to the mounting plate and forming an aperture between the mounting plate and the carriage;
- means for expelling immobilizing means mounted on the carriage so as to be concealed behind the surface, said immobilizing means being expelled at a target through the aperture;
- means for monitoring a security status of the environment;
- and
- means for receiving remote control signals for activating the means for expelling if a security breach is detected.
A security monitoring and enforcement system for an aircraft comprising a plurality of devices for monitoring and enforcing control, each device comprising:
- a mounting plate attached to an internal surface of the aircraft;
- a carriage rotatable with respect to the mounting plate and forming an aperture between the mounting plate and the carriage;
- means for expelling immobilizing means mounted on the carriage so as to be concealed behind the surface, said immobilizing means being expelled at a target through the aperture;
- means for monitoring a security status of the aircraft;
- and
- means for remotely controlling the activation of the means for expelling if a security breach is detected.
A security monitoring and enforcement system for use on an aircraft, said system comprising:
- means for monitoring the security status of said aircraft;
- a stun gun having one or more barrels, the stun gun being adapted to expel stun cartridges from a barrel of said stun gun to immobilize a target with high electric charge, said stun gun being mounted on a rotating carriage in said aircraft so that said stun gun may be rotated to aim at said target;
- and
- means for remotely controlling the activation of the stun gun if a security breach is detected in said aircraft,
- wherein an aperture formed between said carriage and a mounting plate attached to a surface of the aircraft allows the stun gun to fire into a passenger compartment without interference, said aperture being provided with sensors to indicate if the aperture is blocked or tampered with.
