Abstract :
In recent years, demands for affordable small, light weight, multipurpose security system(s) for home usage have been on the rise. Low cost, low power requirements, simplicity of operation, and fast mounting-start-up procedures are desirable features. To date, most home security systems are either too expensive and complex to be utilized by an average home owner, or alternatively, they do not offer adequate protection. A new low cost multipurpose home security system, called Secure-Way, has been developed by KBM Enterprises, Inc. in Huntsville, Alabama. Secure-Way has remote learning capabilities which can be adjusted and updated at any time by the user. RECORD signals are automatically triggered by motion, while STOP signals are programmable. The system utilizes a 9-volt battery, a push on/off button, LED indicators for “wait for arming”, “RECORD”, and “STOP” modes, and an adjustable alarm/recording times. The device is light weight and can be mounted indoors and/or outdoors
