Orford's home is his Castle

Due to the amount of important theoretical research documentation - mostly my own ideas - I store in my own home, I have begun implementing what will one day be considered a state of the art home security system.

To start with, I thought I'd trial a shop-bought system so I can later compare it with my own designs. This break-in alerting system works using a coded numerical entry deactivation system and a variety of magnetic and electromagnetic spectrumed detection devices, and will generate a massive sonic pulse wave for summoning assistance.

The next stage will be even more impressive. As well as detection and alarm functions, it will also feature a series of automated counter-measures. Through a mix a pressure pads and optical sensors to locate an intruders precise position, they will be treated to a selection of deterrents. These will include focussed ultrasonic, knock-out gas and non-lethal projectile weapons (eg. air propelled steel pellets, aimed at their legs). The pressure pads can be used to determine they are in position for a 'trap area', and the optical systems used for aiming, if required.

As the development and testing of such systems will greatly benefit the public in general I will be happy to freely share the fruits of my labours. With this in mind, I have asked my good friend Dr Hans Riemenklammern of the Cambridge University Health and Security research team for a development grant. This further funding will allow me to continue operationalising my home security and counterintrusion measures strategy implementation.
