The Archerfish Intelligent Monitor

Archerfish has added smart technology to your nanny camera. It goes beyond simple motion capture with an intelligent system that you can program for specific events. When the event occurs, you can have it notify you remotely via email, still image or live video.

It’s an amazing system that can control up to four video surveillance cameras at one time and be programmed from anywhere with any internet connected PC or netbook. You can tell the cameras to look for certain people or cars and send a notice to your cell phone if they approach your house. Other things it can keep tabs on for you are waiting for that package you ordered to arrive or if someone is messing with your liquor cabinet.

Home security systems have come a long ways. It’s nice to know that if Big Brother is going to be watching, you can control what he sees.

Archerfish will be in booth South 1 21934,South 1 21936 and their website is MyArcherfish.com

2010 is going to see a HUGE change in home entertainment. According to Alfred Poor, an analyst with GigaOM Pro, there will be between 28 to 46 million 3D ready TVs in homes by 2013. Many of the new sets are being introduced at CES 2010.

Companies like JVC USA Professional Products (Booth: NorthMtgRm N234) and Panasonic (Booth: Central 9405) have already announced that they will introduce new products at the upcoming CES. The technology has progressed far beyond the early days of 3D in theaters (remember the old red and blue glasses?) and is ready to start moving into the livingroom.

There are even companies like Nagravision Kudelski Group (Booth: Venetian Toscana 3601,Venetian Toscana 3602,Venetian Toscana 3603) that are planning guides to 3D sources. The NAGRA Media GUIDE for 3D allows consumers to view and purchase 3D VOD content.

While some 3D sets were shown at last year’s CES, (see 3D is coming to a living room near you), Panasonic and others have announced that sets will be available to the public in 2010.
