A Cocoon For Your Home: Smart Household Security

3 a.m false alarms are never fun. We’re all looking for a home security system that is easy to install and use, and doesn’t think your grandma is an intruder. Cocoon Home Security is a tennis-ball-sized system that is enhanced with technology that detects unusual activity based on its analysis of infrasound. This smart device is enhanced with an HD camera, Wi-Fi, and motion sensors to create a “protective cocoon” inside your home. You’d be surprised that this teensy gadget not only secures a single room, but promises to guard your whole house.

2-Step Security Check

With Cocoon, there’s no need for an elaborate set-up, wiring, and entering data. All you have to do is plug in the device, and sync it with the app on your smartphone. The device then senses when you enter your house and starts up automatically. This means that you have full control of the device, on the move. You can check for activity through your phone, and alert the police, or a neighbour if something fishy pops up.

Subsound – New Age Sound Sensing

The Cocoon security system is based on the study of infrasonics, the same stuff used to predict earthquakes by detecting sounds that out of range to the human ear. A step ahead of motion sensors, Cocoon’s Subsound technology identifies intruders through unusual infrasound activity. The technology works well throughout the house, through walls and floors of space.

Well-Rounded Design

Shortlisted for the 2014 London Design Award, the Cocoon is designed with functional yet polished flair. Its spherical shape and soft design reflect the idea of the system itself. It is made of superior quality materials, and includes a loud siren, a wide-angled camera, a microphone, and a motion detector, apart from the trademarked Subsound sensor.
