Abstract

A system and method for securing a container is disclosed. A sensor secures the container and may be configured to detect an opening of a door of the container. The sensor may be a container security device. An arming device may be coupled with the sensor to transmit a unique identifier to the sensor. The arming device may be a remote arming plug. The sensor may combine the unique identifier with a tag key to create an arming key. As part of the arming sequence, the sensor may enter a pre-armed state. After the door of the container is closed, the sensor may count down and change to an armed state when the countdown ends. The arming device may be removably coupled to the container security device. The arming device may also include a bolt. The arming device and/or the bolt may be coupled with a door securing device.
