DESCRIPTION

SECURITY SYSTEM FOR ACCESS DOORS AND WINDOWS

HOUSEHOLDS

Technical sector

The present invention refers to a security system, preferably for home entrances, that allows the home owner to be alerted to the presence of people in the vicinity of the home entrances, generating a warning signal to the owner when it is detected unauthorized access to the home. The system is applicable to doors, windows or windows and other accesses to the house.

State of the art

Citizen insecurity is one of the main concerns of today's society given the considerable increase in crime in recent times. One of the crimes that generates the greatest insecurity is burglary, where the most common way that criminals use to access the home is by forcing the access door to it.

To prevent access to the house, it is known to use armored doors and vandal-proof locks, which turn out to be excessively expensive solutions that in spite of everything do not fully guarantee to prevent access to the house, since criminals can use piercing or similar means to end up forcing the door.

Other solutions are based on security systems that are activated when they detect vandalism carried out on the door, activating audible alarms and warning the owner or the relevant authorities that a vandal act is taking place. Although these solutions can be dissuasive, they are only activated when the act of vandalism is taking place, so that the access door ends up being damaged and therefore requires repair or replacement.

An alternative solution is therefore necessary that does not require someone to force the door to warn of the break-in, but merely with the presence of Someone in front of the door has already started a protocol to notify the owner or the relevant authority.

Object of the invention

In accordance with the present invention, a security system for doors and windows at home entrances is proposed that comprises:

• presence detection means to detect the presence of people outside the access to the house,

• first cancellation means for temporary deactivation of the presence detection means; so that the owner can deactivate the system at will,

• second cancellation means for temporary deactivation of the presence detection means, the second cancellation means being arranged in the door or window opening actuation, which is arranged inside the home; so that the system is deactivated when a door or window is normally opened from inside the house, and

• a control unit that is configured to generate a warning signal when the presence detection means detect the presence of a person at the door or window outside the home entrance.

In this way, a security system is obtained that allows the owner to be alerted to the presence of people in the vicinity of the access to the house who may be trying to access it in an unauthorized way, and at the same time avoids the generation of false warning signals when a regular and authorized use of the home is taking place.

The first cancellation means are an element that the homeowner has to cancel the generation of the warning signal, so that the security system is deactivated when the owner goes to access the interior of the home.

The first override means can be an active element that the homeowner manipulates to deactivate the security system. For example, the element Active can be a transmitter (remote control) that sends an override signal to a receiver in the security system.

Alternatively, the first override means can be a passive element owned by the owner and requiring no manipulation by the user. For example, the passive element can be a receiver, which can be arranged in the home access key itself. It is foreseen that the passive element has a short range action radius to prevent the system from deactivating when, for example, the owner has left the receiver in the vicinity of the home's access door, such as in a vacuum. pockets or similar that is located inside the house in the vicinity of the door.

The second override means allow the security system to be deactivated when a person normally exits through the door of the dwelling, or normally opens a window, without it being necessary to use the first override means to deactivate the system.

The second cancellation means can be a rotation sensor arranged on the handle on the inside of a door or window for access to the home, a magnetic contact arranged on the latch of the door, or window, or other similar means. In this way, for example, when a user, other than the owner, normally leaves the house, the security system is temporarily deactivated. Also, when the owner is the one who leaves the house, they do not have to bother to manually disable the security system.

The security system additionally comprises display means to visualize the environment near the door or window of the access of the house. Preferably the display means is a camera. Even more preferably the display means are arranged in the peephole of the access door to the house, although they could be located in another part that allows the access to the house to be properly visualized.

Preferably the detection means detect the presence of people at a distance less than or equal to 30 cm from the door or window. Even more preferably the detection means detect the presence of people at a distance less than or equal to 20 cm from the door or window.

This distance turns out to be especially relevant to avoid the activation of the security system in the presence of people who are not trying to access the home but who may be close to a door or window to access the home, such as, for example, a delivery man who is trying to make a delivery, or neighbors who are having a conversation in the vicinity of the access door of the house.

According to a preferred embodiment, the presence detection means are arranged in the frame of the access door of the house. This arrangement is particularly suitable since criminals often manipulate the door in the area close to the frame. Even more preferably the presence detection means are arranged completely covering the frame of the access door of the house, so that the detection range is extended to any point in front of the house door.

Preferably the presence detection means are photocells, however, any type of motion detection sensor could be used.

In accordance with all this, the security system proposed by the invention does not need someone to be forcing the door or window to access the house to warn of the break-in, but merely with the presence of someone in front of the door or window. it can alert the owner that unauthorized access to the home may occur. In addition, it has cancellation means to temporarily deactivate the system avoiding the generation of false warning signals.
