Mobile Phones - Home Security

Alertme, a UK based home security company and the Ember Corporation; developers of ZigBee, a wireless networking technology have recently combined forces to offer consumers a revolutionary means by which to monitor their homes.

The technology in question will allow you to monitor and control your home security from anywhere in the world, providing you have an internet connection, or more likely, a mobile phone Through the use of your mobile phone, you have a considerable amount of information at your fingertips. For instance its possible to set up text alerts so you can be instantly informed when a fire or burglary has been detected at your home.

The system is fully customisable, with the ability to make compensations for pets, visitors or house cleaners. Moreover, it's possible to include neighbours, family & friends into a text alert. So if you're out of the country you can be rest assured someone will be at hand to check out the problem.

The system claims to be easy to set up and consist of the usual things you would expect of a home security system; window and door sensors, motion sensors etc. Another useful feature is the systems ability to detect smoke and carbon monoxide alarms an forward any problems on. The system connects to the world and ultimately you, through an internet hub. Inside the hub is a GPRS modem and battery back-up, so you won't fall short on power outages.

Similar systems are emerging in other countries; examples include the ability to stream home security images directly to a user's mobile phone in Korea and the ability to control almost every aspect of your home security from developers in America.

CECT A988 Touchscreen Smart Phone Mobile PDA With TV Features - Much Better Than The iPhone

The CECT A988 was an eagerly anticipated addition to the CECT family of clones and this phone has not disappointed consumers. It's the latest CECT to improve upon iPhone technology by adding another sim card, unlocking the phone so that you can use any carrier you wish, adding a removable battery, and adding additional speakers, surround sound, and a webcam.

Like all of the CECT iPhone clones, the A988 has all of the features you want, like the ability to surf the internet, play music, record and watch video, text via keyboard (on the phone's face and by handwriting recognition), take photos with this phone's 2 mega pixel camera, and enjoy high quality Bluetooth.

But this clone is innovative even by CECT standards, which is saying a lot.

Perhaps one of the most attention - getting additions is the TV out feature which allows the phone to plug into a TV so that you can watch your video on big screen and in high definition color.

Additionally, unlike the iPhone, this phone is built to text. The CECT A988 looks a bit different from most of the clones in that it relies more upon its texting tools. The A988 has keys and a small keyboard on the front of the phone. The A988 is a great phone for frequent texters.

The CECT A988 is very competitively priced at between $100 and $150, sometimes less, depending on where you get it. This is dirt low considering all of the features packed into this tiny phone which vastly improves upon the iPhone.
