Security system and devices

Abstract

A security system is disclosed herein comprising one or more sensors and a plurality of locking devices linked to a communications network. Each sensor may be configured to detect at least an event and generate an output signal representing the detected event. Each locking device may be configured to selectively restrict movement of a door. Each locking device may include an actuator and a controller associated therewith. Each controller may be configured to receive the output signal from the one or more sensors, process the received output signal to determine an actuator command, provide the actuator command to the actuator of the locking device, and produce an actuator output based on the actuator command. The actuator output may be operable to manipulate the locking device between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration the locking device may resist movement of the door.
