THE OBJECT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WAS TO PRODUCE A PROTOTYPE OF THIS RELIABLE, LOW-COST BURGLARY ALARM SYSTEM AND THE SUBSYSTEM COMPONENTS WHICH WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR WIDESPREAD USE IN RESIDENCES AND SMALL BUSINESSES. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS OF THE PROJECT ARE: A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION LINK TO AND FROM THE SENSORS, A SINGLE-POINT USER CONTROL AT THE RESIDENCE ENTRANCE, AND THE USE OF A LOW-COST SINGLE-CHIP MICROPROCESSOR (I.E., A MODIFIED DEADBOLT LOCK) FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM LOGIC.(AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...
