Abstract

A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises, the system including intrusion detector output receiving functionality operative to receive at least one output from at least a first intrusion detector deployed in the premises, intrusion detector output comparison functionality operative to compare the at least one output from the at least a first intrusion detector with at least one of a multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns, and intrusion detector threshold controlling functionality operative, in response to ascertaining that the at least one output from the at least a first intrusion detector matches at least one of the multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns, to automatically tune a threshold of at least a second intrusion detector deployed in the premises.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises, said system comprising:
intrusion detector output receiving functionality operative to receive at least one output from at least a first intrusion detector deployed in said premises;
intrusion detector output comparison functionality operative to compare said at least one output from said at least a first intrusion detector with at least one of a multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns; and
intrusion detector threshold controlling functionality operative, in response to ascertaining that said at least one output from said at least a first intrusion detector matches at least one of said multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns, to automatically tune a threshold of at least a second intrusion detector deployed in said premises.

2. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said at least one of said multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns comprises at least a pattern of at least one shock wave detected at each of at least two intrusion detectors.

3. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said premises is an automobile.

4. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said premises is a residence.

5. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said intrusion detectors comprise at least one motion detector.

6. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said intrusion detectors comprise at least one shock detector.

7. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said intrusion detectors comprise at least one environmental conditions detector.

8. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said intrusion detectors communicate with an intrusion alarm system.

9. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 8 and wherein said system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises forms part of said intrusion alarm system.

10. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said automatically tuning said threshold of said at least a second intrusion detector deployed in said premises comprises lowering said threshold.

11. A system for automatically controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a premises according to claim 1 and wherein said automatically tuning said threshold of said at least a second intrusion detector deployed in said premises comprises raising said threshold.

12. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises, said system comprising:
central intrusion detector output receiving functionality operative to receive at least one output from at least one intrusion detector deployed in a first of said plurality of premises;
central intrusion detector output comparison functionality operative to compare said at least one output from said at least one intrusion detector deployed in said first of said plurality of premises with a multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns; and
central intrusion detector threshold remote controlling functionality operative, in response to ascertaining that said at least one output from said at least one intrusion detector deployed in said first of said plurality of premises matches at least one of said multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns, to automatically remotely tune a threshold of at least one intrusion detector deployed in at least a second of said plurality of premises.

13. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said central intrusion detector output receiving functionality is operative to receive said at least one output from said at least one intrusion detector deployed in said first of said plurality of premises via a premises intrusion detector threshold controlling subsystem deployed at said first of said plurality of premises.

14. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said central intrusion detector threshold remote controlling functionality operative to automatically remotely tune said threshold of said at least one intrusion detector deployed in said at least a second of said plurality of premises via a premises intrusion detector threshold controlling subsystem deployed at said second of said plurality of premises.

15. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said multiplicity of premises intrusion detection patterns comprises at least a pattern of at least one shock wave detected at each of at least two premises.

16. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said plurality of premises comprises at least one automobile.

17. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said plurality of premises comprises at least one residence.

18. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said intrusion detectors comprise at least one motion detector.

19. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said intrusion detectors comprise at least one shock detector.

20. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said intrusion detectors comprise at least one environmental conditions detector.

21. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said automatically remotely tuning said threshold of said at least one intrusion detector deployed in said at least a second of said plurality of premises comprises lowering said threshold.

22. A system for automatically remotely controlling intrusion thresholds of intrusion detectors deployed in a plurality of premises according to claim 12 and wherein said automatically remotely tuning said threshold of said at least one intrusion detector deployed in said at least a second
