Abstract:
1. A kit for a security system configured for hand-held electronic devices, the kit comprising: a coaxial cable connectable to a mounting pad and to a recoiler assembly for supplying electrical power from the recoiler assembly to the mounting pad; a mounting pad attachable to a hand-held electronic device; the mounting pad including a cable receiving portion engageable with the coaxial cable, and a charging circuit in electrical communication with the cable receiving portion; the charging circuit being engageable with the hand-held electronic device to provide electrical power for charging the hand-held electronic device; the recoiler assembly including a reel assembly provided with a housing, a spool retained within the housing upon which the coaxial cable may be wound and unwound, and a charging module attached to the housing; the recoiler assembly being configured to allow electrical communication between the coaxial cable and the charging module, when the coaxial cable is arranged on the spool; a connector cable connectable to the charging module and to a router for supplying electrical power from the router to the charging module; and a router capable of distributing electrical power from a power supply to a plurality of ports in the router; each port being configured for connection to the connector cable; when the security system is operational, the router being operable to monitor the charging circuit of the mounting pad in order to detect a drop in the current flowing therein and being further operable to trigger an alarm when a drop in current is detected in the charging circuit; when operatively assembled, the coaxial cable, the mounting pad, the recoiler assembly, the connector cable and the router cooperating with each other to define a loop carrying a charging current and serving as an alarm circuit for the hand-held electronic device.
