A new kind of home security. Smart, voice controlled and autonomous
http://robertsiciliano.com/
One of the reasons you—and many others—don’t have your alarm on during the day is because you know you’ll keep forgetting to turn it off every time you want to step into the garage or go outside. So you just keep it off. And that’s not smart because many home invasions and burglaries occur during daylight hours.
Typically, home security systems require you to push buttons.
- What if you panic and forget the code?
- What if you accidentally disable it?
- What if your naughty visiting nephew messes with it?
It’s high time for the kind of home security system you’ve seen on ‘The Jetsons’—one that’s activated automatically when you leave your home.
Enter Angee—an up-and-coming company devoted to a smart, voice-controlled home security system.
What can Angee’s system do for you?
- Say so long to those unsightly wall keypads where you might accidentally hit the wrong button.
- Kiss goodbye to having to remember numerical codes, worrying if your elderly parent will remember it and worrying if a burglar could crack it.
- By detecting the Bluetooth signal from your phone, Angee will automatically arm when you leave, and disarm when you arrive home.
- As a backup method of identification should you lose your phone, or the battery run out, you can use voice recognition to disarm Angee. This can also be used for two-step authentication if you want to be extra secure.
- Enjoying your private moments? Don’t want Angee to observe? Just say “Turn away.” You can even set Angee to automatically activate privacy mode when specific people are present at home.
Video Surveillance
- Instead of cameras trained on one spot, Angee’s surveillance will respond to motion and rotate to face it. This allows Angee to capture events, wherever the action is. This way, an intruder will not be able to avoid camera range.
Angee Knows You’re Coming
- When Angee is paired up with your smartphone, it will perform commands once you get near enough to your house after being out. So if you want the alarm to be disarmed as you approach your front door, Angee will do this—because it will detect when your mobile device is within a certain range.
There is a working prototype and the team behind it is on Kickstarter right now asking for your support to start serial production and make the future of smart home security reality: http://meetangee.com/get/08a33a.
