The present invention is related to monitoring movement, and in particular to systems and methods for securing a monitoring device to a monitor target.

A single platform for controller functionality for each of security, monitoring and automation, as well as providing a capacity to function as a bidirectional Internet gateway, is provided. Embodiments of the present invention provide such functionality by virtue of a configurable architecture that enables a user to adapt the system for the user's specific needs. Embodiments of the present invention further provide such functionality by providing for installation of removable, modular communication adapters for communication with a variety of devices external to the security, monitoring and automation controller.

A system, method and apparatus for controller functionality for each of security, monitoring and automation, as well as a bidirectional Internet gateway, is provided. Such functionality is provided by virtue of a configurable architecture that enables a user to adapt the system for the user's specific needs. In addition, functionality for gathering configuration information from a previously-installed security system and using that information in a subsequent takeover of that security system is provided.

A portable accessory to track a wearer from a mobile application or allow the wearer to alert someone when they are in danger. The portable accessory includes a housing unit having a waterproof speaker, a global position system tracking chip and an emergency response beacon. The portable accessory also has a set of straps made of a tear-proof material and a combination lock. A continuous wire is included within the set of straps to form a complete circuit that runs through the housing unit and two straps when the set of straps are coupled together.
