add on for your home security system BlueScout Overview

BlueScout detects unwanted persons near or in your house, office or other location. Technically, it sends an alarm when unknown smartphones are detected during night or seen multiple days.

Daily reports are sent every morning and real time alarms can be configured via our portal. For more technical information how these alarms look like, please visit this page.

Existing home security products have limitations. Security cameras generate false alarms, like unable to distinguish between animals and humans. Also cameras have reduced performance during night. Motion sensors are unable to distinguish between animals, humans or motion caused by the wind.

BlueScout is a useful add on for home security systems that can reduce false alarms and gives new insights. It offers a professional service for security intelligence firms and system integrators.
