  • Patent number: 5287398
    Abstract: The security for a person in a domicile, premise, or dwelling, is increased in the effectiveness thereof, by utilizing a remotely accessible security controlled audio link, which provides a hands free telephone answering system, that operates without the utilization of any conventional telephone located in the domicile. In a normal mode of this audio link, the telephone of a domicile is used in a conventional manner. However, when a telephone in the domicile is not answered within a time period of a designated number of rings, then the remotely accessible security controlled audio link operates to answer the incoming call by, in effect, functioning in an equivalent way, to lift up a conventional receiver, without the conventional receiver ever being raised.
