Patent ID: 8384542

Claim:
An autonomous sensory system comprising: a. a computer including memory to store sensor data; b. a sensor communicatively connected to the computer; and c. a first communications network and a second communications network, both communicatively connected to the computer to communicate sensor data, derived from the sensor, by way of either one of a first communication subsystem and a second communication subsystem, to at least a first monitoring system or a second monitoring system both remote from the sensor and computer; wherein the sensor, the computer, and both the first and second communication subsystems do not share a common power source with either of the first and second communications networks or with either of the first and second monitoring systems; wherein the computer analyzes the sensor data to detect evidence of a security threat; and wherein the computer communicates the evidence to a selectable one of the first monitoring system and the second monitoring system, by way of a selectable one of the first and second communications networks, by way of a selectable one of the first and second communication subsystems.
