Wired video intercom Logitech Circle View Doorbell

09.12.2020

Logitech has unveiled the Circle View Doorbell, which it says is the first wired video intercom designed specifically for the Apple HomeKit. The Circle View Doorbell is said to provide crisp portrait video from less than a meter away, support face detection, HDR for processing high-contrast scenes, and color night vision up to two meters away. The device is compatible with most existing wired doorbell systems and supports automation for video settings, notifications, storage and sharing.

HomeKit Secure Video, a powerful and secure smart home platform available on over a billion active iOS and iPadOS devices, provides intelligent object detection in the field of view to know when a person, animal or vehicle is approaching a call. The user can access the Circle View Doorbell from the Home app or by accessing Siri on compatible Apple devices.

Face recognition identifies people a user has tagged in their photo library, or recent visitors captured by a camera or doorbell in the Home app. When people come to the door, you can receive notifications on your Apple devices, even when you are away from home. Video streams created by HomeKit Secure Video are uploaded to iCloud and encrypted. They don't count towards free iCloud storage for user photos, videos, and other files.

The price of new items is $200.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Monitor NEC MultiSync EA234WMi 15.05.2013

NEC has announced the addition of a new EA234WMi model to its MultiSync EA series of monitors. The novelty is built on the basis of a 23-inch AH-IPS LCD panel and is priced at $269 in the US.

The device uses LED backlighting, and the characteristics of the matrix are as follows: resolution - 1920 x 1080 pixels, brightness - 250 cd/m1000, contrast ratio - 1:6, pixel response time - 178 ms, viewing angles - 2.0 degrees vertically and horizontally. The monitor is equipped with HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D and D-Sub video outputs, as well as a four-port USB 2 hub and two built-in speakers with a total power of XNUMX watts.

Two sensors have been used in the monitor - lighting, on the basis of which automatic brightness control operates, and the presence of the user. The latter allows you to turn off the monitor in the event that a person leaves the workplace.
The MultiSync EA234WMi package includes a stand that provides height adjustment (in the range of 13 cm) of the display, its tilt, rotation and transfer from landscape to portrait mode.

Dimensions MultiSync EA234WMi - 543,8 x 218 x 380,4-510,4 mm, weight - 6,4 kg. The power consumption declared by the manufacturer in operating mode is 27 W, in power saving mode - 0,41 W.
