Abstract

An apparatus, a system and a method secure and/or display a device on a fixture. Additionally, the apparatus, the system and the method attach and/or secure the device and/or a detachable means of the device to the fixture. A housing and/or a cable connects the device and/or the detachable means of the device to an alarm box and/or an alarm board. The housing has an optical sensor and/or a sensor board with a micro-controller and/or a resistor in communication with the micro-controller. The alarm box and/or the alarm board is in communication with an optical sensor and/or the micro-controller via a cable. A power source is in communication with the micro-controller via the cable to control a voltage which delivers from the power source to the device. Furthermore, the cable extends outward with respect to the fixture and/or a retracting means which allows the device and/or the detachable element of the device to be manipulated and/or to be examined by a customer and/or a user.

Claims (16)

1. A method for monitoring a secured condition of a device wherein the device requires a voltage, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a first controller having an alarm and a power source wherein the power source provides the voltage to the device;

providing a second controller that communicates with the device wherein the second controller provides the voltage to the device from the power source and further wherein the first controller is remotely positioned from the second controller; and

activating the alarm wherein the second controller senses a breach of the secured condition and signals the first controller.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

providing an external sensor to communicate with the second controller.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

providing a monitor in communication with the device.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

programming the second controller with a voltage necessary to power the device.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

communicating the voltage required to operate the device from the device to the first controller via the second controller.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
