Wireless Home Security

Home security specialist LaserShield Systems, Inc. will introduce the first Plug & Go wireless instant home security system for the Internet at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The “Sparrow” is a high speed Internet adapter that allows the LaserShield Security System to be monitored via an internet connection. The package sends a signal continuously at regular intervals throughout the day to Sparrow to make sure it’s always operational - 24/7. In the event that the systems motion sensors are tripped or if Sparrow does not respond back due to loss of power or Internet connection, the monitoring service will immediately notify the owner.

Sparrow is designed to be a cheap security solution for homes, apartments, storage facilities, and offices, allows all users to set up their own LaserShield security system through the Internet. It is also possible to link to pre-existing home security systems that may not work with digital phones.

The LaserShield master alarm unit plugs it into the telephone jack on the Sparrow device and standard wall outlet. Sparrow is plugged into your router via the included Ethernet cable.

Each wireless motion detector protects a room up to 35 x 35 feet (1,200 sq. feet) via invisible infrared technology. When a security breach is detected, LaserShield signals the monitoring service, which notifies friends, family and, if warranted, the authorities. LaserShield also includes a panic button and if there is a power outage, the Lasershield master alarm comes with 24 hours of backup battery power.

The Sparrow high speed Internet adapter sells for $129.99 and includes the Sparrow communication unit, an Ethernet cable, a telephone cord and an A/C power cord.

The LaserShield Instant Security System (including master alarm unit, wireless motion detector and two keychain remotes) is available for $199.95. There is a one-time $25 activation charge and costs are for $29.95/month thereafter. Current LaserShield customers can upgrade to Sparrow without paying an activation fee.

And if Comp USA still have any left, by this time they should be around $5.
