Patent ID: 8026846

Claim:
A detection system comprising: a) at least one detection unit, wherein the detection unit comprises: i) at least one sensor configured to generate sensor data correlated to sensed conditions; ii) a locator for actively determining location data corresponding to the location of the detection unit; and iii) a communicator configured to communicate the sensor data and the location data, b) a control centre, c) a data storage unit operatively coupled to the control centre and configured to store threshold data, wherein: i) the threshold data is correlated to previously stored sensor data and correlated location data; and ii) the threshold data comprises at least one data point corresponding to a predetermined threshold level, wherein the control centre comprises: i) a receiver for receiving the sensor data and the location data; ii) a control processor configured to: (1) generate, from the sensor data and the threshold data, an alarm correlated to the sensor data and the location data, and (2) automatically modify threshold data, correlated to the incoming location data, with incoming sensor data that represents an expected environment.
