1. A ground vibration personal security system, comprising:
a user control panel comprising a housing having a microcontroller operably connected to a display, a user input mechanism, at least one speaker, at least one alerting light, and a wireless transceiver that is configured to communicate remotely with an emergency authority via a wireless network;
at least one vibration sensor operably connected to the microcontroller, wherein the vibration sensor is configured to detect and analyze ground vibrations indicative of human or animal footsteps;
a logic processing unit stored in the memory of the microcontroller, wherein the logic processing unit is configured to:
analyze vibration signals to differentiate between human and animal movement patterns;
generate an alert when detected vibrations meet predefined parameters; and
transmit an alert signal to an emergency authority when an alert condition is met;
wherein the user input mechanism is configured to receive a plurality of detection sensitivity levels and alarm settings via the user control panel.
