A Dutch home automation company is turning Wi-Fi networks into smart home security systems with the power to detect intruders.
Gamgee launched the Wi-Fi Home Alarm System with hopes that it can offer a different approach to security against the backdrop of low adoption rates of traditional systems across Europe and the USA.
Wi-Fi Home Alarm System uses Wi-Fi signals from routers and mesh extenders to detect disturbances within a home environment. Gamgee claims the systm transcends basic motion detection by analysing changes in Wi-Fi signals to generate a 'body print' of individuals. This advanced capability allows the system to differentiate between humans, pets, and inanimate objects, and even identify individuals based on their unique movement patterns.
Paul Hendriks, CEO and co-founder of Gamgee, said: "Our Wi-Fi Home Alarm System is more than just a motion detector; it interprets movement. By transforming every router into a security asset, we significantly enhance the safety and peace of mind for families everywhere."
The system is easily managed via an intuitive mobile app, which enables homeowners to control their security remotely. If the system detects an unrecognised individual, it promptly sends an alert to the homeowner's phone.
Users can map their homes within the app, creating specific detection zones in various rooms.
Data is processed and stored locally on routers, eliminating the need for cloud storage and ensuring user data remains secure.
The system's AI continuously learns and adapts over time, reducing false alarms and enhancing recognition accuracy.
Gamgee has ensured that the system is compatible with a variety of Wi-Fi configurations, with a particular focus on mesh technology to maintain strong signal coverage throughout the home. "We are also finalising partnerships with leading router manufacturers to ensure seamless integration with the most reliable hardware available," added Hendriks.
To bring the product to market, Gamgee is launching a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
