ScoutAlarm:無線家庭安防系統是一套安全識別多樣、便攜安裝、費用便宜的無線家庭安防系統，這套系統不需要安裝任何線路，可通過家庭無線路由器與使用者的智慧手機、平板電腦、PC 等裝置連線提供安全告警服務。系統由基站、開關門窗感應器及動作感應器組成。

其中基站是系統的中心，使用者可通過智慧手機或電腦對安防系統進行配置。基站直接與家庭無線路由器相連，通過 Wi-Fi 工作。同時也配置有 3G 通訊晶片，每月 10 美元的啟用費即可在 Wi-Fi 無法工作時享受監控服務，此外基站還配置了後備電池以備停電之需。開關門窗感應器會在門窗被打破時感應到。使用者需要在需要保護的門窗上安裝相應的開關門窗感應器。

有時候賊不一定開啟門窗也能進入房子，那樣的話開關門窗感應器就無法起作用了。這時候動作感應器就可以派上用場。動作感應器可以感知暴力的敲擊動作，但是一般寵物低於 40 磅的敲擊是不會引起誤報的。動作感應器可安置在牆角、壁櫥上。

Scout is what happens when a hardware hacker, a designer, and a developer are put on a crash course with the current home security industry. In the summer of 2012, our office was filled with capacitive touch experiments, advanced sensors, and motion-tracking displays (plus we were looking an excuse to buy a drone; we’re nerds).

When one of our team members went to buy a security system for his house, we realized how big of a gap there was between what we had in our hands and what’s available to the general public.
