Installing a security camera in your home is a great idea if you want to ensure that you know what exactly goes on in your house at all times. However we can understand that while sometimes the added security is welcome, the idea of being watched in your own home can be a little disconcerting.
Well that’s where Point comes in. Point is an alarm system that works not by watching, but by listening and sensing the air. For example if a window was broken in your home, a security camera would probably just catch the video and not the audio, and unless you are watching the feed all the time, you probably wouldn’t know until it’s too late.
Point on the other hand will be able to tell when a window is broken and alert you to it. It will also be able sense the air and temperature, so if the temperature in your home suddenly drops, it will alert you to it. One example is how Point can be installed in the homes of Airbnb hosts where it will feel less intrusive for guests, but yet keeping the hosts up to date.
If guests get too loud, Point can inform the host who can then send a friendly reminder to their guests to keep it down. It’s a nifty idea and right now Point has managed to surpass its Kickstarter goal of $50,000 more than 3 times over.
