ABSTRACT:
An area surveillance system which combines an ultrasonic intrusion detector, an electronic range finder, an instant camera and an alarm. The system is packaged in a temper-proof housing and is particularly suitable for the protection of residential and commercial buildings and for providing a quick identification of intruders. The output of the range finder is used to focus the camera objective on the intruding subject. After focusing a series of pictures of the area are taken. The pictures are readily available for early identification of the intruder. By means of an interface programming device, immediate or delayed silent and/or audible alarms are triggered upon detection of the intruder.
