VueZone Personal Video Network

In the era of modern technology in which we currently live, we discover new devices every day that have the potential to make our lives easier, more comfortable and more safe and secure. One area of technology that continues to improve and advance is video camera surveillance. Many people are interested in adding some level of video monitoring to their home network, but the high cost, technical complexity and system security are often some of the obstacles that may have prevented you from tapping into this emerging technology.

If you fall into this category, have a look at the VueZone Personal Video Network (PVN).  If you’re not a technical wizard, no worries. The VueZone Personal Video Network is very simple to install, and doesn’t even require a computer. The system includes two video cameras with motion-detection and VueZone is completely wireless with no complicated cables or power cords to install. And there is absolutely no software to load or install!

Once you have the system setup, the VueZone video cameras can be viewed from any Internet browser and most Smartphones including iPhone, Blackberry and Android. It’s truly that easy and simple!

VueZone leverages a patented technology called FrameMesh that enables streaming live video to make your remote video monitoring experience seamless. Create your own personal (and secure) video network with multiple battery-operated wireless video cameras that easily install without any wires or power cords.

Innovative patented FrameMesh technology, developed for the Defense Department, enables streaming live video using wireless transmission from lower-powered, inexpensive battery-driven video cameras.

FrameMesh is a multi-device mesh networking protocol enabling ultra low-power cameras to easily link up to the network. Once a video camera joins the network, the camera device can be moved at any time without any further requirement for additional network configuration.

You can connect a maximum of 15 cameras to a VueZone personal network, which should be more than sufficient to cover almost any home surveillance environment. The individual cameras are inexpensive and cost around $70 without motion-detection and a bit more at $90 for the cameras equipped with motion-detection. Picture resolution is quite sufficient and can be configured for a lower resolution of 320×240 pixels (to conserve bandwidth) up to 640×480 pixels. The system also provides a higher resolution of 1600×1200 pixels for snapping single-frame pictures.

In a nutshell, this easy to use and effective video surveillance system provides an inexpensive way for monitoring the activity in your home and comes with a very affordable price tag of $289.95, complete with 2 motion-detection video cameras, VueZone gateway and all required mounting hardware. The VueZone Personal Video Network is also very modular, so you can easily add more camera devices if you need to expand the coverage.

Smart Keyboard: Give Your iPhone a Business Oriented Feature

 

Are you the kind of people who could never appreciate the fact that Blackberries often had screens smaller than a memo pad? Perhaps you would like to jump on the iPhone bandwagon for the plethora of multimedia features they offer yet will really miss the ergonomic keyboard of a Blackberry during those crucial moments when you have to tap out long emails on the go? Well, with the Smart Keyboard concept, there is hardly any reason why you cannot have the best of both worlds.

Conceptualized in the People Republic of China, where great innovative ideas are born every day, the Smart Keyboard is the brainchild of Jing Yang, from the eico Motion Lab. The idea possibly draws inspiration from the range of Smart Covers available for use with the iPad 2 and gives its users the freedom of using it as a stand, though it may only be in portrait mode. For that important business email when you just have no access to a laptop, the paper thin keyboard can easily adhere onto your screen and offers a tempting alternative to conventional touch screen keyboards.

Even with haptic feedback, such an input method often does not work well for everyone, especially when urgency is needed. After you are done and need to free up the screen for a game of Angry Bird, just remove the keyboard which is thin enough to place into your wallet and you will be good to go!

The Fantastic Ear Case

 

There are a plethora of options out there if you are in the market for a phone protective case and your choice of mobile technology happens to be manufactured by Apple. Since the inception of the first iPhone, the Cupertino based technological leader has revolutionized almost every aspect of the mobile communications industry. One such example of the amazing potential Apple products have in the generating of revenue for side industries is the enormous business that manufacturing phone cases had become.

Apple’s iPhone is different from other leading mobile phones such as RIM’s Blackberry in the sense that they appeal to a wide range of consumer. From the average college student to the trendy jet-setter, you name it; Apple is their de facto choice for mobile communications.

If however you are bored with the multitude of similar looking cases out there and are looking for a way to turn your iPhone into an instant ice-breaker, the Ear Case would be a sensible choice. As the name suggests, the case takes on the look (and probably feel) of a giant ear giving the impression of a tumourous growth protruding from the side of your head when you use it for phone calls.

If that does not conjure up the instant mental image that it did for me, check out its images to take a look at it yourself. A protective case for your iPhone in the shape of a giant ear? $13. The potential fun and conversations it is likely to bring you? Priceless.
