Additionally, with its predictive analytics capabilities, Aletha can also warn users of suspicious activity, while API integrations allow for a connected and brand-agnostic network of users' other sensors and IoT wearables. "The loss of important belongings and of personal and data security has become a very common and significant risk for individuals, organizations and businesses, yet the market is filled with broken promises of better protection," said Nick Warren, CEO, MetaSensor. "Sensor-1 and the Aletha IoT Platform represent important, pioneering advances in solving the problem of situational awareness and in using machine learning to provide a far more reliable way to secure valued items." Unlike current sensors available in the market today, Sensor-1 can detect changes in linear motion and tilt using a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscopic sensor. Placing an armed Sensor-1 onanything that needs protection immediately alerts the user if the item moves. Sensor-1 can be used as a standalone unit, or networked in a swarm configuration for broad-scope monitoring, including determining its relative location and paths of travel in complex environments where GPS communication could typically fail. It is also equipped with a loss of signal warning to protect against a potential jamming or spoofing attack. Sensor-1 has a wide range of uses in the office and home, and for travel. For example, it can be mounted on the back of a door to deliver updates any time the door is opened. The miniature security system's industrial applications include robotic swarm networking, tracking machines and equipment in hospitals, monitoring the movement and acceleration of shipping containers, and protecting against theft in museums, banks and defense facilities. Sensor-1 features include:
Priced at $79, Sensor-1 is completely designed and manufactured in the United States, and shipped using eco-friendly packaging materials. About MetaSensor Based in Santa Clara, Calif., MetaSensor is a venture-backed research and development organization developing a new generation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to improve situational awareness and understanding capabilities. MetaSensor offers an intelligent sensor, called Sensor-1, a portable security system capable of detecting motion and tracking where protected items have been, are currently located, and will likely be in the future.
