Description
- The invention relates to security systems and more particularly to an intelligent home security system capable of controlling a plurality of monitoring assemblies.
- With respect to residences, it is known that a home's locks, lights, garage doors, etc. may be controlled using a personal computer (PC) or computing system. A home sometimes comprises a surveillance system. The surveillance system may have a number of cameras positioned at strategic positions inside and outside the house.
- The cameras often feed into a recording device in the home. Additionally, the system may be set up so that the home owner may observe any activity of interest (e.g., a prowler) on one or more television monitors within the home. Sensors are also incorporated into home security systems. When these sensors are tripped, audible alarms will alert the home owner of the presence of an unwelcome intruder. A signal may also be sent to an emergency response agency automatically.
- However, above home security system are undesirably inaccessible to the absent home member. A home owner may have to leave work early to let in a family member who is without a key. Also, the absent home owner will have no idea an alarm has been tripped in the house until notified by, for example, a police officer.
- Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
- It is therefore one object of the invention to provide an intelligent home security system comprising a plurality of monitoring assemblies each comprising a data communication device including a power line communication module and a wireless communication module, a light, a burglar alarm, a video camera, a transmitter, a sensor, a loudspeaker, a location indicator, an identification device, a projector, an adjustment device for adjusting angles of the light, the video camera, and the projector, and a power supply module including an alternating current AC power supply, a power supply for light, a rechargeable battery, and a solar panel; a fixed controller comprising a data communicating device including a network communication module, a power line communication module, and a wireless communication module, an input device including a keyboard input module, a voice input module, and a touch screen input module, a data storage device, a backup device, and a control assembly including a data storage module, a broadcasting module, a two-way radio transceiver, an access management module, a monitoring module, a detection module, a burglar warning module, an illumination control module, and a projection module for projecting security messages; a hand-held portable controller comprising a wireless communication module c and a monitor adjustment module; and a terminal; wherein the fixed controller and the monitoring assemblies are interconnected by wire or wirelessly; wherein the terminal is a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a set-top box; and wherein the terminal is connected to the fixed controller over the Internet.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.

The switching among these four power supplies can be done by a simple switching operation so as to be adapted to different power environments. All of the above components are electrically connected together. Thesensor 206 may be implemented as a thermometer, a pressure sensor, a brightness sensor, a smoke detector, or a carbon dioxide detector. Theidentification device 209 may be implemented by the RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology. - The
fixed controller 3 comprises adata communicating device 31 including a network communication module c1 for communicating data over the network, a power line communication module c2 for communicating data via power lines, and a wireless communication module c3; aninput device 32 including akeyboard input module 321, avoice input module 322, and a touchscreen input module 323; adata storage device 33; abackup device 34; and acontrol assembly 35 including adata storage module 351, abroadcasting module 352, a two-way radio transceiver 353, anaccess management module 354, amonitoring module 355 for detecting the presence of any unwelcome intruders, adetection module 356 for detecting any unusual activities, aburglar warning module 357, anillumination control module 358, and aprojection module 359 for projecting security messages. - An authorized person (e.g., home owner) may use the
