Yesterday I got to work from home while an experimental home security and monitoring system got installed. It's broadband-enabled, so that instead of using a phone line to contact the monitoring service, it uses my cable modem connection, with a cellular backup in case the cable modem connection goes down due to a system outage or tampering.
Included in the system are some door and window sensors, a motion sensor, a couple video cameras capable of streaming live video, a controller which can be used to automatically turn a lamp on or off, and a touch screen control panel. Everything connects back to the central hub via wireless and the door/window sensors are battery powered with an ~5 year battery life.
Overall it's pretty slick and I look forward to exploring its capabilities.
