Piper is a home security and automation
device that monitors and interacts with your home via a smartphone or tablet.
The device has a wide-angle camera,
motion detector, a speaker, microphone, siren, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave controller and
sensors for humidity, temperature, sound and ambient light. It can be mounted
on a wall or simply placed on a flat surface, and an accompanying app allows
users to interact with, and control it. Up to five users can be manage it
through the app. It provides a video feed that users can remote monitor the
home via the app. A 180° fish-eye lens aims to provide a full-view of a room in
one shot, and users can also pan and zoom as required. The device also monitors
temperature, humidity, ambient light and sound levels. Perhaps the device's
most useful functionality is its home automation feature. It can be programmed
to perform actions such as send notifications when it senses certain things and
communicate with other Z-Wave devices allowing users to control things like
lighting or heating.
Piper, which was named a Design and
Engineering Awards Honoree at CES 2014, is available now in the US, retailing
from US $239.
