'TripSafe' is the name of a new portable security system that's designed for on-the-go use.
While there is a huge market of home security devices for homeowners, TripSafe is geared towards travelers. This includes those who are frequently on the road for business travel and stay in hotels or rentals, as well as those who like to experience the same sort of travel for pleasure.
The TripSafe device takes the form of two wedge-shaped devices, one that serves as the docking station, and another that slides under a door. The wedge uses an accelerometer to detect instances when the door is trying to be forced open, which activates the sound of an alarm. From afar, travelers are able to receive notifications from their smartphones, as well as further guidance from the smart security system.
