wireless security system home
An engineering professor and five students at Central Michigan Universityhave created a ''Smart Cane'' to read electronic navigational tagsinstalledbetween buildings to aid the blind in reaching their destinations moreeasily. ''This project started as a way for me to teach students to see andunderstand the ways that engineering can be used for the greater good,''said Kumar Yelamarthi, the professor and project leader. ''We wanted to dosomething that would help people and make our campus more accessible. '' During the spring term, Yelamarthi and five senior engineering studentstested the cane, which is equipped with Radio Frequency Identificationtechnology, similar to what retailers put on products to keep them frombeing stolen. The Smart Cane contains an ultrasonic
sensor that is paired with aminiaturenavigational system inside a messenger style bag worn across the shoulder. For the test, the students installed identification tags between twobuildings on the campus in Mount Pleasant, Mich. A speaker located on thebag strap gave audio alerts when the system detected an obstacle and toldthe
user which direction to move. Students wearing glasses that simulate visual impairment tested the cane. The students also created a vibrating glove to assist those who are bothvisually and hearing impaired. Yelamarthi said it's one of the first outdoor applications of RFID and saidhe plans for students in upcoming classes to further refine the systemwhilehe seeks grants to speed the research. The next step probably involves using the system in a wider area.

security systems residential
This beautifully crafted digital lock can send alerts to your smartphone as well as take photos of visitors. The lock system is touted as being very safe, boasting features such as bank security standards, 256 bit encryption as well as a mechanical lock itself being UL compliant. Many customers who have paid for it have not only filed for a refund, but are also considering
joining a possible class action lawsuit against the company. That has delayed the product release for quite a while, and also increased its price to $324, due to adding seemingly undisclosed additional features. Those are a lot of red flags for what could be an amazing product. But you could also just use your existing smart home sensor system. The system could detect unauthorized entry and send the video feed through installed cameras, or you could schedule lights to turn on and off at evenings to simulate someone being at home. A more imaginative user could even play sounds, such as footsteps, TV or even dog barking when a proximity sensor
gets triggered, thus discouraging a would be burglar. Although packing more features, these bundles usually come with subscription fees and there may be additional costs associated with installation, so make sure you take that into account when considering a purchase. Which one of these devices seems most interesting to you?Would you consider buying one?Let me know in the comments section below.
