homesentry 300x224 Home Sentry Robot Lets You Keep a Watchful Eye from a FarWant to keep an eye on your home from a far? What better way to do so than with your own private Terminator, errr, Home Sentry robot. The Control From Anywhere Home Sentry can be controlled remotely by any internet device. The robot will stream a 640×480 Mpeg 4 video to you so you can see what’s going on while you’re out. He can also take photos and email them to you, and he has a two-way mic so that you can even interact with people at home. This little guy is capable of 360 degree turns and his camera can offer a wide field of view while surveying the surroundings. He’s even savvy like his distant cousin, the Roomba, – he can avoid obstacles along a path too. And you can set the sentry to go along 10 custom paths when you aren’t around. The Control From Anywhere Home Sentry retails for $299. Our verdict: great for parents, but the days of house parties are numbered when the folsk head out of town.

    [...] I guess the title suggests this is about some sort of Terminator or Cylon guarding your house I have to disappoint you. This sentry robot doesn’t have a titanium frame, enough firepower to reduce a person to hamburger meat or a cool sweeping red light. You can, however, control it from any device that’s connected to the internet! The robot has a camera with 360° view and streams 640×480 video. It can be programmed to follow a certain path, while avoiding obstacles with its infrared sensor, or you can control it directly. Just don’t expect it to stop burglars. The last thing you’ll probably see in case of such an event is someone either picking up the robot and stealing it as well, or smashing it to pieces. Source article [...]
