Security system for an environment
Described herein is a security system for an area of interest (AOI). The system comprises motion detectors and receiver modules positioned in zones of the AOI, and transmitter modules installed on movable devices associated with the AOI. The transmitter modules communicate with the receiver modules present in a predefined area around the respective transmitter module and correspondingly transmit a set of signals comprising details of the movable devices having the respective transmitter module installed thereon. The system further comprises a control unit in communication with the motion detectors and the receiver modules. When the motion detectors associated with any of the zones detect a movement therein and the receiver modules associated with the respective zone further receive the signals transmitted by the transmitter module associated with the registered movable devices, the control unit is configured to deactivate the detectors present in the predefined area around the respective transmitter module.
