Aura Is a Two-Piece Security System That Can Monitor Your Entire Home

Cognitive Systems has introduced Aura, a home security system that uses wireless signals to detect motion throughout an entire home, offering a discreet alternative to internet-connected smart cameras. The system includes a cube-shaped hub and a small remote sensor. Placed at opposite sides of a home, Aura provides coverage regardless of walls or obstructions. It uses patented spectrum analysis technology to filter out non-human movements and sends alerts to the owner's phone or activates the hub's siren. Aura automatically arms and disarms itself when authorised users leave or return, and recognises the presence of programmed users to avoid false alarms.
