Abstract

A security system includes a small hand held remote unit which allows a user to communicate with an inside receiver/transceiver. The inside receiver/transceiver is battery powered and operates in a low power draw standby state until activated to a higher power draw state by receipt of an activation signal from the small hand held remote unit. Signals from the small hand held remote pass through a light transmitting medium forming part of the walls of the premise being protected. The inside receiver is positioned relative to the light transmitting medium to receive signals from the remote unit and produces a visible indication of the status of the system. This arrangement allows arming and disarming of the system from outside the area being protected.
