[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to surveillance systems and more particularly pertains to a new surveillance security system for detecting and monitoring movement upon one's property.

[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0005] The use of surveillance systems is known in the prior art. More specifically, surveillance systems heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

[0006] Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,299,971; 5,107,120; 5,726,629; 5,532,680; 5,381,323; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 342,337.

[0007] While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new surveillance security system. The inventive device includes a base housing being adapted to be mounted upon a bracket which is attached to a building structure; and also includes a support base being disposed in the base housing and having a plurality of disc members; and further includes a pedestal assembly being mounted upon the support base; and also includes a monitoring assembly being mounted upon the support base and upon the pedestal assembly.

[0008] In these respects, the surveillance security system according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of detecting and monitoring movement upon one's property.

[0009] In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of surveillance systems now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new surveillance security system construction wherein the same can be utilized for detecting and monitoring movement upon one's property.

[0010] The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new surveillance security system which has many of the advantages of the surveillance systems mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new surveillance security system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art surveillance systems, either alone or in any combination thereof.
