Discreet surveillance and alarm system

摘要

A surveillance and alarm system linked through a global communications satellite system to monitor the status of a protected mobile asset(s) or person(s). The surveillance and alarm system issues an alert in response to detection of an alarm condition. Alarm conditions include both a monitored variable, such as geographical position of the mobile asset or person with respect to an allowable range of positions, as well as triggered alarm conditions, which can be automatic such as in response to loss of main power or which can be manual such as in response to activation of a wired or wireless alarm button depressed by a person in response to a security threat. The surveillance and alarm system provides global, real-time protection for mobile equipment and personnel, as well as two-way communication between the mobile entity and a remote location.
