Smart devices are leading the charge in human efficiency and now there's new smart home technology to keep families safe. Healthcare and security firm Essence Group has created a new security defense system called MyShield.
The system uses fog to deter would-be burglars. So how does it work? Once intruders have been detected, a system user is notified via an app on their phone, at which point they can activate the fog.
