DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention relates to an interactive security system that is attached to an existing file cabinet. The system includes an attachable object that includes sensors that detect movement of the attachable object. The sensors detects if a door or access point for a storage container has been jarred or opened. Further features of the security system include an electronic gyroscope that detects movement of the safe or file cabinet and an attachable camera that records activity near the object. These three items provide essentially three alarm alerts. First, the detection of any intruder near the safe or file cabinet through the use of the camera; an alert based upon movement based upon the gyroscope; and an alert for any breach of the door or drawers of the safe or cabinet. These alerts are transmitted to a user via a portable electronic device through a network connection. The network connection can be in the form of a cellular communications network, Bluetooth connection or wireless Internet connection. The system also works in conjunction with home security systems and Z-wave. Alerts may be set to send to the owner and/or safe provider with up to two users. Where the cabinet is used for gun storage a; trigger guard feature may be included on the guns. The proximity camera may be activated on motion of the gun in the safe such as a tracking device on each gun or triggers on proximity protocol sensing motion near the cabinet.

[0016] With respect to FIG. 1A a top view of a safe door 27 is depicted. Visible from the top view is a sensor 40 handle 30. Further a key pad is also depicted. FIG. 1B depicts a system 100 according to the present invention. The system 100 shows the safe door 27 with sensor 40 at the top of the safe door 27. Safe 12 is shown with the door 27 in an open position. Sensor 40 activates upon opening of this safe door to alert the users that entry into the safe has taken place.

[0017] FIG. 1C shows door 27 in a closed position where the sensor 40 is not visible and is within the interior of safe 12. FIG. 1D depicts an interior view of the safe 12 with contacts 52 and 54 shown. These contacts provide notice of any entry into the interior of the safe 12.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a front view of safe door 27. The safe door 27 also includes handle 30 with a biometric pad 21 shown above handle 30. Other features of the safe door include camera 21 to record activity in front of the safe, a turn lock on 24 that provides an additional locking means and a keypad 25 providing an additional security means for entry into the safe.

[0019] FIG. 3A shows a contact grid as available insertion into the interior of safe 12. Contact grid is also shown in FIG. 3B showing a bottom contact 52. Another feature of the present invention includes the gun holster 60 shown on FIG. 4. The gun holster receives the gun 80 with an additional sensor 62 provided in the gun holster as an alert system for removal of the gun from the gun holster. A trigger guard 64 is also provided as additional cover for trigger 82.

[0020] The security system of the present invention may be implemented with an existing home security system via Z-wave, internet or Bluetooth connections. Preferably up to two users may receive alerts such as the owner or safe provider. Up to two users; add trigger guard feature; two ways for proximity camera activated on motion gun in the safe tracking device on gun or other object and triggers on proximity protocol. Gun holster in a car.
