Abstract:
1. A sensor system for outputting an alert, comprising: a first module for operating in a first mode and a second mode, the first module detecting motion in the first mode, and for outputting a signal indicating the detected motion in the second mode, the first module transitioning from the first mode to the second mode after occurrence of a first event; a second module for providing a first amount of power to the first module in the first mode and a second amount of power to the first module in the second mode, the second module providing the second amount of power to the first module after occurrence of the first event; a programmable interface module to receive configuration information through wired or wireless communication, or update the configuration information, allowing adaptation to detect a particular environmental condition, wherein the programmable interface module is configured to store configuration information; and a global positioning system for determining a current location when the signal indicating the detected motion is outputted.
