Abstract:
A mobile monitoring device includes a sensor, a controller and a transceiver is in electronic communication with the controller. The transceiver is capable of secure, bidirectional communication with a computing device, or with other devices such as telephones and the Internet. The sensor is in electronic communication with the controller and is capable of detecting a change in a condition of the property being monitored or the area proximate thereto. The monitoring device executes programming commands received from the computing device or other devices or networks. The monitoring device is track-able by various methods. The monitoring device is configured for bi-directional communication with RF sensors to provide a mesh network topology for monitoring numerous items and a relatively large area with small, inexpensive devices. Communications may be digital or analog using recognized or proprietary communications protocols, and may be secured using various encryption algorithms and protocols. Digitization permits proper delivery and authentication and remote programming of each individual device, as well as ensuring the accuracy and reliability of such communications. Communications may be sent along various routes, permitting a user, a security monitoring company and any computer applications to receive and to respond to notifications, including automatic responses to notifications.
