A system, method, and a package tracking device for tracking the movement of a package to prevent theft of the package are described. According to an embodiment, a package tracking device adapted to be attached with a package is described. The package tracking device having a unique device identification number allows a user, through an application interface running of a wireless communication device, to associate a geographical boundary (geo-fencing) with the delivery address of the package. The package tracking device operates in a passive tracking mode when the package is within the defined geographical boundary, generates a first signal when the package is moved from a drop location, generates a second signal when the package is moved out from the geofencing associated with the delivery address and operates in active tracking mode when the package is moved out from the geofencing associated with the delivery address.

The degrees of freedom are increased for the layout for a member (for example, an upper guide or the like that restricts an up-down direction position of a medium) to be disposed above a storage space for storing a paper sheet-shaped medium, and a disposable space for the member is enlarged. A medium storage box having an internal storage space for storing a paper sheet-shaped medium includes an upper installation member (for example, a lid section) that is disposed above the storage space, and a liquid ejection mechanism that ejects liquid from a liquid ejection nozzle. A liquid ejection direction of the liquid ejection nozzle is set in a direction toward a lower face of the upper installation member.

A security system and apparatus for a home or business is provided. The security system has a sensor connected to a liquid dispenser. The sensor is triggered upon the breaking of glass or a door of a building. The liquid dispenser, when activated, dispenses a non-toxic liquid marker. The liquid dispenser sprays a mist of the liquid on the intruder so that the intruder may be easily identified.

A mobile device includes a camera unit, a location unit, a transmitting unit, a self-defense mechanism, and a panic button. The camera unit location unit obtains at least one of image data and audio data, and the location unit obtains location data. The transmitting unit transmits at least one of the image data, the audio data, the location data, and specific information including owner identification information. The panic button is adapted to activate the camera, the location unit, the transmitting unit, and the self-defense mechanism.

An automated threat detection and deterrence apparatus includes an imaging device configured to detect a subject in a subject area, a deterrent component including a directed light deterrent, wherein the directed light deterrent includes a first deterrent mode and a second deterrent mode, the directed light deterrent is configured to perform a first deterrent action on the subject when in the first mode, the directed light deterrent is configured to perform a second deterrent action on the subject when in the second mode, and a processor communicatively connected to the imaging device and the deterrent component, wherein the processor is configured to identify the subject as a function of the detection of the subject, determine a behavior descriptor associated with the subject, select one of the first deterrent mode and the second deterrent mode and command the directed light deterrent to perform an action based on the selection.

A security system includes a video system for capturing images of an intruder. A deterrent dispensing device dispenses a deterrent substance in a selected direction. An actuator module is communicatively coupled to the video system and is coupled to the deterrent dispensing device. The actuator module receives a video signal from the video system and, in response thereto, controls the deterrent dispensing device to thereby aim the dispensed deterrent substance in a direction of the intruder.
