Patria Ailon has created a Bluetooth camera for security and surveillance solutions. The Patria Ailon GoldenEye Camera has the same high image quality as a DVD disc (VGA level picture) and is as small as a hockey puck. This camera contains embedded software for motion detection. When combined with Patria's Ailonet, it opens up a multitude of new services to home and business users.

Ailonet is an intelligent access point and the first product on the market to offer true convergence between wireless datacom and telecom technologies. Ailonet's platform is designed for the delivery of services such as digital imaging, home automation, IP telephony, and infotainment.

Patria Ailon's new Bluetooth camera and Ailonet provide home and small business networks and security markets with solutions for wireless networking, group or family communication services, image-based security, and remote wireless control of appliances.

The connections and controls enable a variety of applications, such as shared broadband Internet access, home automation, security and surveillance, and entertainment and information services. Sensors, actuators and appliances can be connected to Ailonet and be controlled either locally or through wide area networks.

Office and home automation applications can use Ailonet's built-in, browser-based X10 controls. X10 is a communications protocol that enables all X10 compatible products to inter-connect with each other via existing electrical wiring in the homes.

Patria Ailon's new Bluetooth camera transmits pictures to, for example, a home page, enabling the user to remotely monitor home or office. When alarm is triggered by motion detection, real-time notification can be sent to cellular phone or directly to the security service providers' control room.

Ailonet's group server application software enables friends, families, and group members to access their home pages, calendars and bulletin boards via Internet or cellular phones. For the carriers, the Bluetooth camera creates new revenue-generating services that can send images with MMS messages. When an alarm is triggered at home or office, the surveillance application would send the images captured by the camera to operator's MMS server, which will then be forwarded to the user's cellular phone embedded in a MMS message.

The GoldenEye Bluetooth camera will be available in the second half of 2002.
