4. Olmose: Reuse Technology For Your Security
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/olmose/olmose-reuse-technology-for-your-security?ref=category Being the spoilt bourgeoisie that we are, you've probably got some old tech lying around somewhere. Well, you may as well put it to good use with Olmose. This system transforms your old cracked smartphone into a top-of-the-range smart surveillance system for your home (or your car, but you do then run the risk of someone putting your windows through to snatch the well-displayed phone). Just download the app onto the old and new phones, set up the camera and you can remotely monitor your valuables/pets/babies from wherever you need to be. It can send you notifications and even check the identity of anyone who passes within its field of vision, meaning that you will be notified if a baddie starts rifling through the family silver. The charging stand for the device is designed in such a way that it will filter out any false alarms such as fireworks, storms or even marauding pets, ensuring that you don't get an emergency notification every time the dog tries to hide one of your shoes.
