Overview:
With the increasing digitization of the home with internal wireless and wired networking combining with increasingly ubiquitous broadband access, it was inevitable that the combined capabilities would open the door to improved security, particularly for those home owners who are constantly on the move.
It is with this in mind that Motorola recently introduced the HMEZ1000 home monitoring system that combines wireless connectivity with Internet access to provide remote viewing capability for home owners on the move. Using a variety of sensors for triggering, the system then grabs still images or video with audio and communicates an alert via email or a cellphone text message. While such capabilities are not new, costs have confined such systems to commercial applications.
View this On-Demand seminar to find how Motorola combined high technology with low-cost manufacturing expertise to make $150 profit on a system that retails at $250.
Use the seminar to see:
- A board-by-board breakdown of the system's key components.
- How the use of two different wireless air interfaces can be used to cater to video and control separately.
- How the functional partitioning was achieved between the basestation and cameras
- Who actually manufactured the system.
- How the cost was kept so low.
- And much more!
Who should attend:
Designers of digital devices and systems for the home, particularly those with the intention of networking those devices both to other systems in the home as well as to the Internet.
