Prevent break-ins before they happen with #MyFox Home Smart Alarm.

We like to think our homes are safe and indeed most are but at one stage or another we either will be broken into or know of someone who has been,from this time of year onward typically break-ins rise due to the dark hours approaching us.. Well now there is a new product called Myfox Home smart alarm.. With this you can manage your home security from your smartphone..

With the world’s first motorized privacy shutter that’s controlled via the phone’s app, the Myfox Security Camera provides security when you need it and privacy when you’re at home. Myfox developed the innovative idea behind the non-intrusive camera by studying user feedback from previous generations of cameras sold in Europe, which found that 30% of users were unplugging their cameras when they were at home in an effort to increase privacy. The camera setup takes just 90 seconds and with the Myfox Security App, users can keep close watch on their homes no matter where in their world they are.

The camera provides one hour of battery back-up and a 1080P video sensor with CVR capabilities, two-way audio and 4x zoom, among all of the other features that you’d expect from a best-in-class security camera. With its sleek design and lightweight portability, the Myfox Security Camera integrates seamlessly into any home’s decor.

 

Set up takes only minutes and you can trust others to share information to,there is no wires to worry about and the system works with intellitags and wifi and that’s it,rather a simple process with no hassle at all…this also works with Nest..

The Myfox Security Camera becomes part of a proactive security system with its integration into the Myfox Home Alarm. The 4th generation IntelliTAG™ smart sensor uses vibrational algorithms to detect and alert of a break-in before it occurs. It’s smart enough to tell the difference between a break in attempt and a ball bouncing against the door and can be used on any opening. We conducted a user survey and found that 80% of break-in attempts were deterred thanks to the IntelliTAG™ triggering the siren. Once triggered, it sounds the Myfox Home Alarm and sends an alert to your smartphone or even alerts friends and family, allowing you to call the authorities. The Myfox key fobs provide a truly connected experience, as they can be personalized with usage case settings for each member of the family. Each key fob also automatically disarms the entire Myfox system when arriving home – no codes or alarm setting necessary, which makes for a security system that people will actually use.

Facebook launches virtual assistant called M #Facebook #M

Facebook has jumped on the virtual assistant bandwagon now with an assistant called M..This for some means Money or Ads in which comments suggest and it will be a matter of time before we find out,its only in a beta stage at the moment and im sure we will find out more soon.

But are digital assistants useful or do we like them ?? Personally I don’t use them,I find them a gimmick and I have tried them all but the novelty wears off quite quickly to be honest,its just not my cup of tea,Windows has Cortana for example although not official in Ireland we need to change some settings it is also now on Public beta on Android and of course we have Siri for Apple so those who use these assistants might find it welcome news..

 

David Marcus says  M is a personal digital assistant inside of Messenger that completes tasks and finds information on your behalf. It’s powered by artificial intelligence that’s trained and supervised by people.

Unlike other AI-based services in the market, M can actually complete tasks on your behalf. It can purchase items, get gifts delivered to your loved ones, book restaurants, travel arrangements, appointments and way more.

It will be interesting to see what this holds in the future and for now only a select amount of people are trialling the new digital assistant will be integrated into the Facebook Messenger app. No date has been given as to when it launches but stay tuned for updates..

Android Wear now works with iPhones #AndroidWear #iPhone

Android wear now works with iPhones folks which may come as a surprise to some but its happening right now and some of you may be a bit peeved of at the idea after splashing out on an overpriced Apple watch..

From today it rolls out and you just pair your iPhone (iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus running iOS 8.2+) with an Android Wear watch to bring simple and helpful information right to your wrist currently Android Wear for iOS works with the LG Watch Urbane.

  • Get your info at a glance: Check important info like phone calls, messages, and notifications from your favorite apps. Android Wear features always-on displays, so you’ll never have to move your wrist to wake up your watch.
  • Follow your fitness: Set fitness goals, and get daily and weekly views of your progress. Your watch automatically tracks walking and running, and even measures your heart rate.
  • Save time with smart help: Receive timely tips like when to leave for appointments, current traffic info, and flight status. Just say “Ok Google” to ask questions like “Is it going to rain in London tomorrow?” or create to-dos with “Remind me to pack an umbrella.”

The response has been rather funny if you read the comments in the source link below….

InstaBlurrr – A non BETA photo editing app ad-free – #Photography #WindowsPhone

Ok so we have lots of apps for editing photos and in 2015 we have one big problem for windows phone users and that is that Instagram is still labelled a BETA, It is a very popular app no less but to be coined with that familiar term BETA in 2015 is just not on its that simple. This does not only apply to Instagram mind you..

Now we have a new app called InstaBlurr which is not BETA at the end of it and is free of ads,it will be a niche app and not for everyone but it does what it says on the tin its simple to use and its also FREE.. The app allows you to edit portions of the photo and give it a blurry effect,I cant see the attraction myself only for obvious reasons but yes I have seen images on Instagram with this effect applied so it matters to Windows Phone users as they are also huge Instagram fans..

One drawback is you can only use photos in storage and not take a photo and use it as you would with Instagram for example so if you can live with that well its the app for you…Maybe over time it will allow users to take snaps and edit from there…..

Apple will allow Windows Users stream upcoming iPhone event. #Apple #Microsoft

Well well as the title says, Apple for the first time in history will allow  Windows users stream the upcoming launch event on September 9th. Typically you would have needed to be surrounded by Apple devices to do this or find other methods but not this time,is Apple trying to capture some more fans who are fed up with the long wait on a new flagship or are they just waking up to the closed syndrome they typically used over the years ???

The requirements are as follows which are again a bit restrictive but it means less hassle to find a stream elsewhere..But if you have Windows 10 –  that’s 75 million of you,but  of that 75 million who is actually interested about what Apple have to say on the 9th? Certainly not Windows Phone fans anyway????

Requirements: Live streaming uses Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. HLS requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later, a Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later, or a PC with Edge on Windows 10. Streaming via Apple TV requires a second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later.

Tune in here anyway on the day and lets see what Apple have got so show us…….

Snapchat has a rival called Kaboom. #Snapchat #Kaboom #Apps

Snapchat now has a new rival called Kaboom,the difference here though is the user does not need to have the app installed like snapchat currently does to send private photos etc..but you do need it for conversations.The app is only on Android and iOS and not on Windows Phone which is nothing new,even today there is no app Snapchat for Windows Phone users as they seem to dislike the OS and start proceedings to take down anything similar,example being 6snap..

Capture your moment, set it to expire and share it with your friends. You can post your self-destructing message on social media or share it using your favorite messaging platform. Kaboom makes it easy to share with the following in-app options: SMS, Email, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Direct Linking.

Every day, billions of photos and messages are being shared online to exist through infinity. Kaboom gives you full control over what you share online—where you share it and how long it lives.

 

 

Share photos & messages on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, or SMS and make them disappear after an hour, a day, or a number of views.

– Stay in control of all your text messages and pictures on social networks; have them automatically disappear.
– Your friends will be able to see your messages & photos even if they are not on Kaboom.
– Stop worrying about pictures that are posted that you or your friends don’t like; they will disappear shortly.

Kaboom is made by AnchorFree, the maker of Hotspot Shield, the world’s most popular online privacy, Wi-Fi security and internet access app, which has over 350 million installs worldwide.
