ABSTRACT:
Devices and methods using wireless or wired network communications to form cooperative alarm networks centered on themselves. Intrusion detection alarms broadcast signals notifying other intrusion detection alarms of its status. When an alarm system experiences a security event, such as an attempted break-in, it notifies its network of its security event and other alarm systems within a cooperative network commence security measures, such as honking horns and flashing headlights. The cooperative response of the networked alarm systems increases decibel level and, in turn, the likelihood of a deterrent intervention, such as the perpetrator being apprehended, as well as increases the deterrence capability of the alarm systems.
