A security module that could be incorporated into high value audio or camera, or automotive or other equipment. The module would incorporate a Wi-Fi engine, such as Microchip MRF24WB0M radio and PIC microcontroller, and "when triggered" searches for an open Wi-Fi network and then sends information about itself such as gateway IP address, product code, etc.
Initialization (several ways):
1. none
2. connection to home network
Alarm trigger (several ways):
1. none -- always sends data to subscription driven cloud server run by alarm company
2. disconnection from default 'home' network
Alarm service:
* when the triggered unit reaches an open Wi-Fi network with internet access it can send information allowing police to trace location of the unit -- something like a LoJack, but lower cost, but time to recovery is dependant on time for unit to get to an open network
