Abstract

A security device for monitoring the radio frequency signals generated by mobile phones and similar mobile computing and communication devices. The security device employs an antennae array and computer process that are configured to detect and provide a “fingerprint” for a mobile device based on the unique identifiers contained with the radio and other wireless signals utilized by such mobile device. The “fingerprint” that is obtained can be used to keep track of mobile devices as those devices enter and leave the area of the security device. Moreover, the security device can provide an alert when any new, foreign, or otherwise unrecognized device is within range of the security device and share “fingerprints” and alerts with other security devices in its network.
