Device-Controlling Cameras

This New Security Cameras Can Be Used to Power Off Household Gadgets

— July 12, 2016 — Tech
Guzu Inventions, a company based in Australia, has managed to go ahead and devise an extraordinarily innovative new security camera that is designed to make it easier than ever for users to assume full control over the various electrical devies littering their home and even stop them when wanted.

The Heero security camera can quickly and easily be switched off remotely by virtue of its high-tech 10A outlet. It can even be used to remotely stop a 3D printer. This particular function is especially useful in dealing with situations where a 3D printer isn't operating as intended and needs to be restarted without too much hassle.

This new security camera is a fine example of a product with dual functionality, as it manages to keep your home secure while also giving you extra control over your gadgets.

3. Remote-controlled 3D Printers - Remote-controllable 3D printers represent a significant innovation in 3D printing technology that make it easier for users to manage and troubleshoot their 3D printing machines from a distance.
Industry Implications

3. 3D Printing - Remote-controllable 3D printers present an opportunity for 3D printing companies to improve on user experience and make printing more streamlined for their customers, ultimately spurring growth in the market.
