>>> SEVERAL SMART DEVICES HAVE
MADE HOME SECURITY MORE
CONVENIENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICIALS SAY THE PRODUCT RING
IS LIKE HAVING A HIGH-TECH
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PARTNER.
IN FORT WORTH THE VIDEO HELPED
TO SOLVE A KIDNAPPING CASE.
POLICE WERE ABLE TO USE FOOTAGE
FROM A RING CAMERA TO FIND AN 8-
YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO WAS ABDUCTED.
THEY IDENTIFIED THE KIDNAPPER'S
CAR.
CAR.
CAR. IF
CAR. IF YOU HAVE A SMART SECURITY
DEVICE, POLICE ENCOLONEL YOU TO
REGISTER THE SYSTEM WITH LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
LAW ENFORCEMENT. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SMART
SECURITY DEVICE TO LIVE GIVE
YOU ALERTS, WE HAVE A FEW
PRODUCTS THAT COULD HELP IN
TODAY'S TECH CORNER.
HERE TO TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT

NEIGHBORHOOD AND DO YOU MIND IF
WE LOOK AT YOUR FOOTAGE.

REGISTERING ANY DEVICE YOU HAVE
WITH THE POLICE.
>> IT'S NOT JUST THESE RING
CAMERAS.
CAMERAS.
CAMERAS. THERE'S WEB CAMS THAT GO AROUND
YOUR HOME.
YOUR HOME. POLICE IF THEY ASK YOUR
PERMISSION, IT HAS APPREHENDED
A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
>> THE RULE IS ALMOST WATCHING
EVERYBODY ELSE RIGHT NOW.
THE HIGH-TECH SCENARIO.
>> DEPENDING ON WHICH COUNTRY
YOU'RE IN ON ANY GIVEN DAY YOU
ARE SEEN ON A NUMBER OF 30, 40
CAMERAS A DAY.
>> CARS, TRAFFIC LIGHT,
STOPLIGHT, YOU'RE WALKING INTO
THIS BUILDING THERE'S SECURITY.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRACKED.
>> ALEXA, SPEAKING OF WATCHING
WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> LISTENING.
>> LISTENING. >> SHE'S GOT SOME EARS.
>> SHE DOES.
THIS IS, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE
THESE.
THESE.

YOU SAY A KEYWORD.
RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY'S ALEX IS A

THE THING IS PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT
IS IT ALWAYS LISTENING.

REALLY AM.
REALLY AM. AMAZON HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN LISTEN TO A BILLION
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. THEY JUST ANNOUNCED SOMETHING
LAST WEEK AND HERE'S THE NEWS.
IT'S CALLED ALEXA GUARD.
IF YOU GIVE IT PERMISSION IT'S
GOING TO ALLOW ALEXA TO WILL BE

ALERT YOU.
ALERT YOU. YOU CAN TURN ON THE CAMERAS,
CALL THE COPS.
WHATEVER.

ALEXA GUARD, DON'T TURN IT ON.
SOME OF THE THINGS I BROUGHT
ARE MORE SENSOR TYPES.
SMART HOMES ARE GETTING SMART
ENAND CHEAPER.
ENAND CHEAPER. THIS IS A MOTION DETECTOR.
I LIKE THIS BECAUSE THERE'S
MOTION DETECTORS YOU CAN GET,
YOU CAN INSTALL.
THIS BABY IS FROM A COMPANY
CALLED KANGAROO.
CALLED KANGAROO. THIS IS ONLY $15.
IT'S VERY SMALL.
ON THE BACK ALL YOU NEED TO DO
IS PEEL THE STICKER OFF AND YOU
CAN PUT THIS ANYWHERE BY A
DOOR, ANY ROOM AND TECHNICALLY
YOU CAN MOVE IT IF YOU WANT TO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY
THIRD PARTY MONITORING SYSTEM.
IT CONNECTS TO YOUR WI-FI.
WHEN IT SENSES MOTION, WHEN IT
SENSES WI-FI IT'S GOING TO SEND
YOU IMMEDIATELY, WITHIN A
SECOND AN ALERT ON YOUR PHONE.
>> TALK ABOUT HOW TECHNOLOGY
HAS COME SO FAR.
I REMEMBER ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO
THERE WAS A SERIAL KILLER
AROUND HOUSTON.
AROUND HOUSTON. I HAD ONE OF THOSE CHRISTMAS
TREES FROM WALGREENS THAT WHEN
YOU WALK BY IT WOULD GO JINGLE
TREES FROM WALGREENS THAT WHEN YOU WALK BY IT WOULD GO JINGLEú
I PLACED IT OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM
DOOR.
DOOR.
DOOR. >>
DOOR. >> IT'S A COMPANY CALLED
KANGAROO.
KANGAROO.
KANGAROO. GET AS MANY OF THESE AS YOU
WANT.
WANT.
WANT. IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
IT COSTS $0 PER MONTH.
NONE OF THE MONITORING SERVICES
TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING
ON.
ON.
ON. >>
ON. >> WATER COULD BE YOUR VERY
WORST FRIEND.
WORST FRIEND. IF SOMETHING HAS A LEAK AND
YOU'RE GONE.
YOU'RE GONE. YOUR BATHTUB LEAKS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE NEATEST
DEVICES I'VE SEEN.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE SIZE OF A
MOUSE.
MOUSE.
MOUSE. IN
MOUSE. IN JUST NEXT TO YOUR COMPUTER.
BATTERY OPERATED.
BATTERY OPERATED. ALL YOU DO IS PLACE IT JUST
LIKE THIS FLAT DOWN NEXT TO
YOUR TOILET UNDER YOUR KITCHEN
IN AN ATTIC.
WHEREVER YOU THINK WATER COULD
LEAK IN.
LEAK IN.
LEAK IN. IF IT RAINS, IF THERE'S
ANYTHING, THERE'S METAL
DETECTORS.
DETECTORS. WHEN WATER HITS THE METAL IT
ACTIVATES.
ACTIVATES. NUMBER ONE, IT HAS A LITTLE
AUDIBLE ALARM.
AUDIBLE ALARM. NUMBER TWO, IT'S GOING TO TEXT
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. >>
YOU. >> THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS
AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
>> REALLY SMART TOO.
WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE DASH CAMS.
SO THEY'RE MONITORING WHAT
YOU'RE DOING.
YOU'RE DOING. THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE.
THIS IS COSTS ABOUT $90.
ROVE DASH CAM.
WHEN YOU PUT IT IN YOUR DASH,
IT RECORDS EVERYTHING AS YOU
SEE IT OUT THE WINDSHIELD.
WHY IS THIS GOOD?
IT HAS ABOUT FOUR LANES.
YOU NOW HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROVE
IT WAS NOT YOUR WRECK OR
ACTUALLY IT WAS YOUR WRECK.
>> I HAVE THE VIDEO HERE.
>> SOME OF THESE EVEN HAVE DUAL
SIDE.
SIDE.
SIDE. SOME HAVE A CAMERA HERE FACING
OUTWARDS.
OUTWARDS.
OUTWARDS. SOME OF THEM HAVE A CAMERA
FACING HERE.
FACING HERE. IT SIMULTANEOUSLY RECORDS WHAT
YOU'RE DOING INSIDE YOUR CAR TO
MAKE SURE NO, SIR I WAS NOT
TEXTING WHEN THIS ACCIDENT
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED. FOR $90 OR SO AND INSURANCE
COMPANIES ARE GIVING DISCOUNTS
FOR PEOPLE WHO USE THESE
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. IT'S CONSTANTLY RUNNING.
>> GREAT WORK.
THE TEENAGER DRIVER.
>> ONE MORE.
THIS IS KIND OF A SENSOR AND
ALARM TOO.
ALARM TOO. I TALK ABOUT SMART WATCHES.
THIS IS JUST FOR AN EXAMPLE,
THIS IS MY SAMSUNG S 3. THIS IS
A TYPICAL SMART WATCH.
THEY LOOK SPORTY.
YOU HAVE AN APPLE WATCH?
>> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. >>
>> NO. >> THIS IS WHAT THEY TYPICALLY
LOOK LIKE.
LOOK LIKE. >> NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT
RATING.
RATING.
RATING. YOU KIND OF ROLLED YOUR EYES A
LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT. >> YOU KNOW WHAT, HAPPY EARLY
BIRTHDAY.
BIRTHDAY.
BIRTHDAY. >> THIS IS COOL.
>> THIS IS, I'M GOING TO SHOW
YOU THIS.
YOU THIS.
YOU THIS. THIS IS THE NEWEST TYPE OF
SMART WATCH.
SMART WATCH. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A SMART
WATCH.
WATCH.
WATCH. THIS IS AN ELEGANT WATCH YOU
CAN WEAR ANY TIME.
IT IS SMART.
IT DOESN'T HAVE THE TYPICAL
DISPLAY YOU CAN SEE WITH THE
DIGITAL READOUT OF HOW MANY
STEPS.
STEPS.
STEPS. BUT IT DISCUSS TRACK YOUR STEPS
THROUGH THE APP.
INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THE WATCH
YOU CAN LOOK AT YOUR PHONE.
NOW THE OTHER NEAT THING TOO,
SEVERAL OF THEM, THERE'S A
LITTLE BUTTON.
LITTLE BUTTON. THIS IS A REMOTE CAMERA TRIGGER
FOR YOUR PHONE.
SO NOW WHEN YOU'RE TAKING
SELFIES OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS IT
YOU CAN SET THE PHONE UP AND
SIT THERE AND SMILE AND YOU GO
AND AWAY.
AND AWAY.
AND AWAY. I LIKE THE ELEGANCE.
THIS IS WHERE WATCHES ARE GOING
TO GO OLD SCHOOL.
