Patent attributes
A motion detection system designed for firearms, aiming to enhance safety and security while maintaining privacy which will alert a user of movement of their firearm or firearm magazine. The present disclosure incorporates an inconspicuous motion detection device, resembling a firearm bullet, to be inserted into a firearm or firearm magazine. This device includes a first communication module, first power source, electrical switch, and first microcontroller, all housed in a bullet-like casing. The system detects motion without transmitting personal location data, using an ultra-high radio frequency and an electrical switch configured to detect a change in position or orientation to maximize battery life. The motion detection device communicates with a base station, which communicates with a secure server network, ultimately sending notifications to a user's mobile device that the firearm or firearm magazine is being moved. The discreet design and non-reliant GPS technology of the system prioritizes firearm owner privacy.
