Optix Corporation has developed a wireless home security system that can be monitored and controlled via your mobile phone or PC.
As the sensor and wide-angle lens camera are wireless they can be placed anywhere in the room. The system can run for six months on a single recharge.
The angle of the camera can be controlled by the mobile phone, and can pan up to 107 degrees and tilt up to 79 degrees, allowing for full visibility.
“Businesses have used security cameras for years to deter would-be thieves from ripping off products or tearing up property. But the use of video surveillance systems in residential neighborhoods seems to have increased recently, industry experts say, as prices have come down substantially and lower-end models can be bought off the shelf at big-box stores.
Licensed security system installers say they are busy outfitting families, many of whom commute to Bay Area jobs, with four-camera setups that can watch various portions of their house 24 hours a day and include remote Internet accessibility.
“I never figured there would be this much business here,” said Cliff Rogers, who owns I Spy Video in Manteca. “It’s giving peace of mind to homeowners.”
When used effectively, surveillance systems certainly can be useful in catching criminals in the act.”
