Linux Powers New Security System
French security company M2M Solution has developed a security gateway device called Homebox to monitor your home, office, vehicle, and even your pets while you're out. M2M and Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI) designed the system from the ground up in only nine months using Linux-based tools and open source codecs.
The unit comes supplied with a 5MB, low-light camera and integrated Ethernet that allows users to connect to a broadband router. Images and data can then be accessed in real-time from any Internet-accessible computer, or even a mobile phone. Homebox also sports WiFi and an 868 MHz RF link in case you want to connect additional sensors like those found on pet collars and electronic lifeline devices used by seniors and handicapped individuals.
