ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a photographic security system.
2. Description of the Related Art
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,143 there is disclosed a security system including a television camera for taking a scene of a trespass upon a predetermined region at a site to be monitored, a video recorder for recording the image of the scene taken by the television camera, and a sensor for sensing a trespass and outputting a signal for starting the television camera and the video recorder. The signal output from the sensor for sensing a trespass and the outputs of a plurality of other sensors sensing other conditions at the site to be monitored are transmitted to a monitoring site remote from the site to be monitored for display at the monitoring site.
In EP-A-0242099 there is disclosed an anti-theft and locating system in which a microprocessor monitors vehicle personal position by way of coordinates obtained from Navstar Global Positioning System. Upon activation, through sensing unauthorized access to a vehicle or a change in its position, the microprocessor identifies itself to a central dispatch office and alerts the same to the nature of the disturbance. The system periodically updates vehicle location by way of digital signals sent to the central dispatch station by way of a cellular mobile telephone system. The central dispatch office can interrogate the microprocessor via the telephone link by addressing its unique serial number in order to obtain its position should the vehicle be stolen without activation of the microprocessor. A plurality of logic inputs and outputs are provided for accommodating conventional anti-vandalism and anti-theft detectors which may be integrated into the total protection system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a security apparatus comprising in combination an electronic camera and a transmitter for transmitting the image received by the electronic camera to a remote receiver characterised in that the apparatus is portable and includes a position location apparatus and in that the transmitter also transmits the positional information received from the position location apparatus.
The present invention also provides the combination of the aforesaid portable security apparatus and a remote receiving apparatus adapted to receive the information transmitted by the transmitter of the portable security apparatus.
