Abstract

The network consists of one host house and supporting houses around it. When the alarm of the host house is triggered off and the sirens and the flashing lights are activated, a signal will be sent off to activate the receiver in the supporting houses thus to prompt the supporters to act quickly to do the following: A. Inform the police, and B. Watch the host house with special attention. A plurality of individual networks (one host house and its supporting houses) can be combined to form a large scale network to fight burglar crime more effectively. All member houses of the network are protecting themselves by protecting the other members rather than depending upon a commercial firm's efficiency.

Description

BURGLAR ALARM NETWORK This invention relates to burglar alarms.
Burglar alarms are now widely recommended by insurance company and police to be installed in home in order to fight the ever increasing crime of burglary.
At present there are two alarm systems commonly used: 1. The bell-only alarms: This system gives bell ringing only when an intruder enters a house and triggers off the alarm.
2. The monitored alarm system: when an intruder enters a house, the alarm will be triggered off and a bell or a siren will be activated. In the meantime, a signal is sent to a central monitored station. The central monitored station staff will then in turn alert the police about the crime.
A monitored alarm system has a more effective deterrent power than a bell-only alarm system.
In our system we introduce the concept of NETWORK 1. Structure and function of a Network In our system, Network is a burglar-fighting unit. Each Network consists of one host house, as a centre of a Network, and its supporting houses around it. The supporters could be the neighbours opposite, in front and at back, and on the left and right side or the members of a neighbourhood watch scheme", but not a commercially run central monitored station staff.
The network can work more effectively, if the situation permits, for a host house to have four supporters namely the neighbours opposite, in front and at back, and on the left and right side in order to provide more complete watch over all sides of the host house.
In certain circumstances, for an example, if a house is situated at the end of a row and back on to a field or a hill then it only has 2 supporters, one in front opposite and the other on the side to form a Network.
The alarm equipment installed in a host house is linked to the signal receiver in the supporting houses. When the alarm is triggered off and the sirens and the flashing lights are activated, a signal will be sent off to activate the receiver in the supporting houses thus to prompt the supporters to act quickly to do the following: A. Inform the police about the burglary situation at host house, and B. Watch the host house with special attention to see any suspicious people or vehicle etc. nearby, during the vital time period between the alarm been triggered off and the arrival of the police.
2. Feature of Networks When one of the supporters for Network No 1 decides to install a similar burglar alarm network system it is quite natural for him to ask the host house for Network No 1 to act as one of his supporters, say, for Network No 2. That means A. The host house of Network No 1 can act as one of supporters for Network No 2, meanwhile the host house of Network No 2 is acting as one of supporters for Network No 1.
B. One house can act as a host house for one Network, while at the same time act as supporters for other Networks.
Because of this reciprocating arrangement, all the individual Networks ( one host house and its supporting houses ) are tightly interwoven together and will eventually grow to large scale Networks such as a "Street Network" covering the houses of a street, or a District Network covering the houses of a district to fight burglary crime more effectively.
All member houses of Network are protecting themselves by protecting the other members rather than depending upon a commercial firm's efficiency. Therefore the concept of Network will increase the deterrent power of a burglar alarm system considerably further.
Equipment involved The main pieces of equipments involved in our network are 1. Detector : Its main function is to detect the presence of any unexpected visitors and trigger off the activator.
2. Activator : Its main function is, once it is triggered off, to activate sirens and flashing lights and send of-f signals to supporting houses.
3. Receiver : Its main function is to identify and tell which host house it is, where the signal has been sent from so that the supporter can act accordingly.
Detector, activator and sirens and flashing lights are installed in host house and receiver in supporting house.

  1. CLAIM
    In our system, Network is a burglar-fighting unit. Each Network consists of one host house, as a centre of a Network, and its supporting houses around it. The supporters could be the neighbours opposite, in front and at back, and on the left and right side or the members of a "neighbourhood watch scheme", but not a commercially run central monitored station staff.
    The network can work more effectively, if the situation permits, for a host house to have four supporters namely the neighbours opposite, in front and at back, and on the left and right side in order to provide more complete watch over all sides of the host house.
    In certain circumstances, for an example, if a house is situated at the end of a row and back on to a field or a hill then it only has 2 supporters, one in front opposite and the other on the side to form a Network.
    The alarm equipment installed in a host house is linked to the signal receiver in the supporting houses. When the alarm is triggered off and the sirens and the flashing lights are activated, a signal will be sent off to activate the receiver in the supporting houses thus to prompt the supporters to act quickly to do the following: A. Inform the police about the burglary situation at host house, and B. Watch the host house with special attention to see any suspicious people or vehicle etc. nearby, during the vital time period between the alarm been triggered off and the arrival of the police.
    Because of the reciprocating arrangement, all the individual Networks ( one host house and its supporting houses ) are tightly interwoven together and will eventually grow to large scale Networks such as a "Street Network" covering the houses of a street, or a "District Network" covering the houses of a district to fight burglary crime more effectively.
    All member houses of Network are protecting themselves by protecting the other members rather than depending upon a commercial firm's efficiency.
