Abstract: A GPS directed intrusion system with data acquisition is provided. Some methods can include detecting a threat event associated with a monitored facility, collecting data relevant to the threat event, and transmitting the data relevant to the threat event to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility. Some methods can also include placing a surveillance device associated with the monitored facility in a tracking mode, tracking motion captured by the surveillance device, and transmitting data representative of the motion to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for protecting a secured space. The method includes the steps of providing a secured space including a first secured area and a second secured area accessed through the first secured area, wherein the second secured area has a relatively higher security level than the first secured area, controlling access into each of the first and second secured areas via at least one access controller, and deactivating a portion of the at least one access controller in accordance with a predetermined event and a security level.

Abstract: A wireless access apparatus for controlling access into a secure area comprises a first power source and a second power source. A controller automatically switches between the first and second power source based at least on a calculated power level of the first and second power source. The controller is connected to either the first or the first and second power source based on the switching. The access apparatus includes a switch having a first position for connecting the first power source to the controller and a second position for connecting second power source to the controller and an electromechanical transducer coupled to the controller for unlocking or locking an entrance into the secure area. The controller determines access to the secure area using information received from an access card.

Abstract: A Hall effect device is located in a focused gap of a flux concentrator disposed over one power terminal of a D.C. switching contactor to monitor flux induced by current flow. Magnetic fields from permanent magnets of the switching apparatus are shielded from the flux concentrator by a cup-shaped magnetic ring surrounding the concentrator, magnetically spaced therefrom, and a magnetic plate of the apparatus which is modified to accept more flux in a localized area of the sensor before saturation. The gap of the concentrator in which the Hall effect device is located is particularly positioned at a point where the magnetic field gradient from the permanent magnet field is minimum.
