Wi-Fi motion detection device integrates with existing infrastructure
When placed in any power outlet, the Motion Capture Plug immediately starts providing insights on the motion activity in a given area. The device, says the company, can be used in the home, workplace, residence, hospital, hotel, or anywhere motion intelligence can be used to improve the quality of life of its users.
“We are solving the issue of industry access to affordable intelligent technology,” says David Grant, CEO and Co-founder of Aerial Technologies. “We have noticed a number of markets that can benefit from having a solution that integrates into the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. The Motion Capture Plug unlocks the accessibility to Wi-Fi Motion technology for those markets.”
Combined with a comprehensive set of open APIs, the Motion Capture Plug enables service providers to leverage motion intelligence to create new or augment existing consumer and business applications, including elder care, security, energy management, home automation and remote patient monitoring.
Founded in 2015, the company offers SaaS-enabled technology that leverages existing Wi-Fi signals to detect motion and recognize human activity without the need for cameras, sensors, or wearables. Its patented technology analyzes distortions in Wi-Fi signals and uses machine learning to infer human activities.
The company will be offering live demos of the Motion Capture Plug at CES 2020.
