Abstract:
1. A mobile security system for a jobsite having a plurality of jobsite items, comprising: a container configured to be moved to a plurality of locations, the container including a housing having first and second end walls and first and second side walls extending between the first and second end walls, an interior within the housing, and a walkway configured to define a path through the container and extending transversely through the housing, the walkway connecting a first door disposed at the first side wall and a second door disposed at the second wall; a radio frequency identification (RFID) detection system associated with the container, the RFID detection system including at least one RFID antenna configured to detect a plurality of first RFID tags passing through the walkway of the container, each of the plurality of first RFID tags being associated with one of a plurality of jobsite items located at the jobsite, and a RFID reader configured to identify one of the plurality of first RFID tags that are detected by the at least one RFID antenna; an alarm system associated with the container and producing a visible and/or audible signal when one of the plurality of first RFID tags is identified by the RFID reader; an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) associated with the container and operable to provide power to the RFID detection system and the alarm system; a central processing unit (CPU) operatively coupled to the alarm system and the RFID detection system, the CPU configured to actuate the alarm system when an unauthorized removal of a jobsite item carrying the detected RFID tag is identified by the RFID detection system, wherein the CPU includes a memory and a processor, the memory including a database of first RFID indicators stored therein, the first database of indicators associated with the plurality of first RFID tags; and a database of second RFID indicators stored in the memory, the database of second RFID indicators associated with one or more second RFID tags, wherein the second RFID tags are configured to not actuate the alarm system during detection of one of the plurality of first RFID tags by RFID detection system; wherein the container further includes a primary cabinet positioned along a first side of the walkway in the interior of the container, the primary cabinet containing at least one RFID antenna, the RFID reader, and the UPS, the primary cabinet being sealed from intrusion from the walkway; wherein the first end wall is openable to provide access into the primary cabinet, wherein the primary cabinet includes a primary cabinet door at least partially blocked from opening by the first end wall when closed; and wherein the primary cabinet also contains a display monitor operatively connected to the RFID detection system and configured to display information about RFID tags identified by the RFID reader.
