Perimeter security system with non-lethal detainment response

1. A method of remotely monitoring a perimeter of an area and detaining a subject at the perimeter with a temporary restraint, comprising:

monitoring at least a portion of a perimeter of an area;

receiving an event signal generated as a result of remote movement or presence of a subject at the perimeter of the area; and

remotely launching from at least one of a plurality of launchers positioned at the perimeter of the area a projectile toward the subject, the projectile including a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets, the projectile being capable of at least temporarily detaining the subject when wrapped about the subject.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event signal is generated by a motion sensor.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring utilizes a video surveillance system.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the event signal is generated manually by personnel based on the video surveillance.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting an alert of the launch to a command center.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting identifying data associated with the at least one of the plurality of launchers, the identifying data including at least a location of the launcher along the perimeter of the area.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising dispatching personnel to a location of the at least one launcher on the perimeter of the area.

8. A system of remotely detaining a subject with a temporary restraint, comprising:

a sensor system operable to monitor a perimeter of an area;

an event signal generator operable to generate an event signal if movement or presence of a subject is detected by the sensor system at the perimeter of the area; and

a plurality of launchers positioned along the perimeter of the area, each of the plurality of launchers carrying a projectile, each of the plurality of launchers being operable to remotely launch a respective projectile toward the subject as the subject crosses the perimeter, each of the projectiles including a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets, each of the projectiles being capable of at least temporarily detaining the subject when wrapped about the subject.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the sensor system includes a motion sensor.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the sensor system includes a video surveillance system.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the launcher is activated manually by personnel based on the video surveillance.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a transmitter operable to transmit an alert of the launch to a command center.

13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising identifying data associated with the launcher, the identifying data including at least a location of the launcher along the perimeter of the area.

14. The system of claim 13 , further comprising personnel being dispatchable to a location of the launch.

15. A method of remotely monitoring a perimeter of an area and detaining a subject at the perimeter with a temporary restraint, comprising:

monitoring at least a portion of a perimeter of an area;

receiving an event signal generated as a result of remote movement or presence of a subject at the perimeter of the area;

remotely launching from at least one of a plurality of launchers positioned at the perimeter of the area a projectile toward the subject, the projectile including a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets, the projectile being capable of at least temporarily detaining the subject when wrapped about the subject;

transmitting identifying data associated with the at least one of the plurality of launchers, the identifying data including at least a location of the launcher along the perimeter of the area; and

dispatching personnel to the location of the launch along the perimeter of the area.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein at least two of the plurality of launchers are oriented toward one another along the perimeter.
