Please read about a great new product that will help to make your home safer while you’re away!
Cambridge, MA – BeON Home, a Cambridge, MA-based start-up, is pleased to announce the company’s first product, BeON Burglar Deterrent which within the first 24 hours of launching on Kickstarter, has received over 30% of their goal, raising $39,659. The BeON Home Burglar Deterrent is available to the public via the crowdfunding site, Kickstarter through December 19 with early-bird pricing beginning at $199 for a three-bulb package.
The BeON Burglar Deterrent brings a fresh perspective to home security by taking a proactive rather than a reactive approach. The LED-bulb system installs just like normal light bulbs and works with existing wall switches. After installing, the system learns and replays the lighting patterns while users are away in order to create the impression of a lived-in home. Designed to be simple and stress-free, there is no system programming required, no service contracts, no monthly fees or pesky alarms to go off. Users simply activate the system via the mobile app (or wall switch) and they are done. The more bulbs in use, the more convincing and effective the system becomes.
According to many security experts, potential burglars will check to see if a home is occupied by ringing the doorbell before finding a more secluded area of a residence to break into. To combat this technique, the BeON Burglar Deterrent listens for the doorbell and will turn the lights on in sequence to simulate an active presence, as if someone was responding to the door.
“Kicking off the campaign with this magnitude of support shows that the public is behind our product,” said Alexei Erchak, CEO and Co-Founder of BeON Home. “Families want to take care of their home in their absence, and BeON Home has the simple, effective solution for them.”
Additionally, during power outages, homes without lights on become prime targets for burglaries as most security systems fail without power. However, if there is an outage while homeowners are away, the BeON Burglar Deterrent system uses built-in rechargeable batteries to provide intelligent lighting, visible for days that can be seen from outside the home. When given the choice between a house that has lights on or one that does not, a burglar usually chooses the latter to avoid the risk of being caught.
