He said that while cameras show people what is happening, they can feel invasive. 'Was it a fly landing on a motion sensor, or is someone currently in your house? So not only is the detection step poor, you also can't verify anything.'

'With traditional systems, when you get an alarm, you can't tell what is actually happening. Security alerts will let users take whatever action necessary, such as automatically triggering sounds or lights to scare an intruder away, or calling a neighbour or the police.įounder Dr Joey Wilson, 35, from Salt Lake City, said: 'It is important to understand that this is not just a new product, it's a completely new sensing technology. Once the motion is detected, an alert is sent to a user's smartphone which shows the location of the disturbance on a map. When a person moves within the web, they disturb the radio waves.Īlgorithms are used to pinpoint the location of this movement. If the web could be seen, it might look like the net of lasers in the film Mission Impossible. The nodes form a web of connected invisible sensors, beaming radio waves throughout the home that are able to travel through walls. Once this is done, the system can be activated. A gateway has to be plugged into a router and then users must draw a map of their house within the app to show the layout of their home.
