Abstract

A non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation is disclosed. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation includes a video camera with audio recording capabilities, a light ring, and a spray nozzle to spray a formula as means for deterring and/or temporarily incapacitating an intruder, an active shooter, a terrorist, a thief, and/or an assailant.

Claims (17)

1. A non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation comprising:

a rectangular box housing mounted to one of a ceiling and a wall;

a computer controlled internal pump and delivery system that is encased within the rectangular box housing, said computer controlled internal pump and delivery system comprising a computing device and a fluid pump;

a high intensity light of at least 2,500 lumens brightness that renders a visual disturbance to an unwanted intruder when turned on in a direction facing the unwanted intruder;

a nozzle attached to a hose which delivers a proprietary spray agent to spray out the nozzle when aimed at a pre-set target area in which an unwanted intruder is likely to enter and exit;

a tank with the proprietary spray agent that the fluid pump pumps through the hose and out the nozzle;

a high definition camera that is configured to record video of the pre-set target area; and

a power toggle button which when turned on activates the non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device and allows the user to selectively choose whether to spray the proprietary spray agent and shine the high intensity strobe light in the direction of the pre-set target area when an unwanted intruder is in the pre-set target area and poses a danger to the user and the premises;

wherein the high definition camera comprises an embedded audio recording component that is configured to record audio along with the video, wherein the high intensity light, the high definition camera with embedded audio recording component, and the nozzle are encapsulated within a pod case that is communicably connected to the computing device of the computer controlled internal pump and delivery system within the rectangular box housing.

2. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 1 , wherein the high intensity light comprises a strobe light.

3. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 1 , wherein the pod case is configured to pivot and tilt.

4. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 3 , wherein the rectangular box housing is mounted above the ceiling and the pod case is communicably connected to the computing device of the computer controlled internal pump and delivery system within the rectangular box housing mounted above the ceiling by an extension arm that extends below the ceiling.

5. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 1 , wherein the recorded video is transmitted over a CCTV line to a CCTV display monitor.

6. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 1 , wherein the high definition camera is a night vision camera that captures visible video when recording the pre-set target area in darkness.

7. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 1 , wherein the high definition camera is an infrared camera that provides thermal imaging with thermal temperature readout.

8. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 1 further comprise a motion detection sensor that detects movement in the pre-set target area.

9. The non-lethal intruder deterrent and suppression device capable of temporary incapacitation of claim 8 , wherein the motion detection sensor automatically activates the high definition camera to record the detected movement in the pre-set target area and alert an operator of a possible unwanted intruder.
