  • Publication number: 20140354430
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to detecting that an intrusion is occurring by detecting, by a first sensor, that the intrusion is occurring based on a variation of light exceeding a threshold, detecting, by a second sensor, that the intrusion is occurring, and generating an intrusion status signal that indicates the intrusion is occurring based on determining that the first and second sensors detect that the intrusion is occurring.
