Tags: door lock | keyless | security

The Gadget Home

E
ver locked yourself out of your home because you simply forgot to take your keys?

It's frustrating ain't it? By then, the only solution is to call up your locksmith and that means more hassle and you might just be late for work.

But thankfully technology is catching on. These days, there are 'key-less' door locks available and they not only look good, but function well too.

The Gadget Home (www.thegadgethome.com) is one such company that sells these 'smart' digital locks. Their door locks make use of a completely digital system, which requires you to simply key in your PIN code, or flash your RFID pass card. It's as simple as that. No more keys, no more inconvenience.

The RFID cards are almost impossible to duplicate and you can even request for the chip to be embedded in your phone instead. No longer do you have to worry about would-be thieves unpicking your lock because this digital lock cannot possibly be tempered with.

Besides, their locks can be configured to automatic or manual lock. It comes with a loud alarm function at an event of a break-in. It has an internal forced lock when the family is at home.

So these locks are not only easy to use, but help ensure safety in your household. It doesn't matter if you forgot to lock your home when you step out; these digital locks will automatically lock up for you.

There are many different models available in various colours and designs so check them out and increase your home security.

No-Contact Jacket invented by Adam Whiton and Yolita Nugent

L
adies, gear yourselves up for this. You no longer have to take up karate classes to defend yourselves from being mugged.

There's a new jacket in town that will take care of your assailants for you. Enter the No-Contact Jacket invented by Adam Whiton and Yolita Nugent.

It looks like a normal piece of clothing but it really boasts some high tech technology which brings personal defense to the new level. The person who wears it can at anytime press a button in her palm and a shocking 80,000 volt electric pulse will blast through the jacket.

That will tell your attacker you really mean business. Trust me, if he doesn't take off as quick as Flash, then he's some superhuman.

All it takes is a normal 9-volt battery and your jacket will function well. Worried that you'll be electrocuted in the process?

Rest assured that the jacket is insulated and you won't feel anything. The best part is, the jacket looks oh so fine. Go log on to www.no-contact.com to find out more.

Babble Electronic Privacy Device

S
ince most offices and cubicals are anything but soundproof, there's never been a surefire way to keep communications secure or eavesdroppers at bay... until now.

The Babble is an amazing device that hooks into your phone. It picks up your voice, scrambles it into a variety of different audio streams, and rebroadcasts them through a speaker at the exact same volume as your speaking voice. The result: those around hear only a cocktail partyesque murmur coming from your desk as your out-of-synch voices blend together.

Check out the video on the Babble webpage to see what we mean. This is the musthave gadget of the season, and we're not just saying that because we're hoping the company will send us one for free... but it would be nice. US$400. - www.sonaretechnologies.com
