Abstract
An integrated system is disclosed that provides robust and uninterrupted security over a broad range of applications that features a security assembly having multiple sensory functionality for detection, identification, and analysis of a potential intruder seeking to gain unauthorized access to a secure facility. In one embodiment, the security system integrates multiple sensor systems for the detection and identification subterranean as well as terrestrial breach.
Description
- This application is being filed concurrently with co-pending U.S. patent applications, each of which claims the benefit for priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/886,905 filed Jan. 26, 2007, and each describing aspects of the invention described herein, including G
IMBALED MOUNT SYSTEM FOR SATELLITES (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/020,269), NETWORKED COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND SEGMENT ADDRESSABLE COMMUNICATIONS ASSEMBLY BOX , CABLE AND CONTROLLER , and NETWORKED COMMUNICATIONS AND EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS , and are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety. - Conventional security systems focus on generally a singular point of entry or method to which they address or block. Such systems are prone to a multitude of other methods that exploit the limited barriers or lack any ability to detect entry. Perimeter fences alone, for instance, serve as barriers that an intruder can overcome by scaling it to gain unauthorized entry. Improved barriers are typically expensive, particularly over large scales, and protect against only to few general methods of breach.
- Barrier-type systems do not identify or locate the advancing intruder. Moreover, conventional security systems are typically reactive to a breach rather than proactively monitoring protected areas in efforts to mitigate the opportunity of a successful breach and subsequent loss. Once an intruder has breached the barrier and entered physical location, even fewer systems can identify the intruder or where the breach occurred, thereby if it is a cut fence line, the breach point will remain unsecured.
- It is to be understood that both the forgoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and should not be considered restrictive of the scope of the invention as described and claimed. An integrated system is disclosed that provides robust and uninterrupted security over a broad range of applications, that can be integrated with multiple sensor systems for the detection and identification of terrestrial, and optionally, subterranean intrusions, and that can transfer data to a remote location for analysis distant from any risk in the event of a security breach.

A preferred method of P-wave and S-wave detection is using adetector 40 referred to herein as the Q-Box manufactured by Qtronics Manufacturing Ltd (Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada). This function is depicted inFIGS. 1 and 2 . The Q-Box is self contained and primarily only requires a transport layer to communicate its discoveries back to an end analysis system. The seismic wave detector may be used in conjunction with the other components of thesecurity assembly 10, such as the radar and camera features, and connected to a junction box at the base of each security system, with its sensors (not shown) planted in the ground area outside the base to detect any ground disturbance, for instance, by an approaching vehicle or intruder, or an attempt to tunnel under the secure fenced area. - The security system assembly is secured within the ground, preferably in a stabilizing and/or relatively structurally
secure environment 42 such as concrete and the like, and preferably at least 18 inches below the surface. The anchor depth is contemplated to be sufficient hold the system in the ground and also for adequate function of the desired components associated with the system.

It is contemplated that the assembly capable of alerting an intruder may be used in combination with the security assembly with camera system and spaced thereinbetween and conduits are for connection of the assemblies. - Prior to stabilizing the security system assembly in position it necessary to implant in the ground the necessary sensors for the ground sensing system. The act of having the weight of the concrete and security system assembly on top of the implanted sensors further increases their sensitivity to unnatural triggering sounds or waves detected in the ground being detected.
- Security personnel may be differentiated from intruders by the use of locator badges worn by the personnel. Such badges may be augmented for biometric personal identification by use of an imbedded finger print reader as known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Should the integrated security system temporally loose track of a specific tab or want to confirm the holder's identity, then a specific command sequence sent via the security system from the onsite or remote information management and processing location.

18. A security system for detecting intrusive activity, the system comprising:
an extended body having an elevated end and an embedded end and a cavity, wherein the cavity is continuous through the extended body including through the elevated end and the embedded end, and wherein the embedded end of the extended body is anchored into the ground via a structurally secure environment;
a transparent housing for releasable attachment to the elevated end for forming an extended cavity within said extended body;
a camera system housed within said transparent housing for the visual monitoring of intrusive activity and connected via communication means to other locations;
at least one device for the collection and conversion of solar energy into electricity for releasable and adjustable attachment to the outer surface of the body;
at least one battery for receiving and storing energy received by at least one solar energy device, wherein the battery is located within the cavity of the extended body;
a transceiver for receiving and transmitting intruder-related information and located within the cavity of the extended body, and wherein the transceiver emits and receives radio waves for detection of an intruder;
a seismic wave detector within the cavity of the extended body having sensors extending underground outside of the assembly for identifying intrusive activity;
a light source for responding to the movement of an intruder that generates seismic vibrations detected by the seismic wave detector; and
wherein intrusive activity information is received through the camera system and relayed via wired communications means or wirelessly transmitted to remote locations for monitoring and analysis.
