Farewell to theft in the house: the cameras that “shoot” paint on the thieves (but that make people discuss)

THE theft at home They are one of the most traumatic experiences that a person can live. It is not just about the loss of material objects, but also the feeling of having been violated in their most intimate space. Stops torn, forced windows, rooms placed upside down: the emotional damage often weighs as much as the economic damage.

Fortunately, today the domestic defense goes beyond the laying of locks and railings of the highest quality. If one time was focused on the armored door, today true security passes through intelligent technologies and increasingly creative solutions. Between Smart alarms, Cameras connected to the smartphone And home automation systemsthe concept of “safe house” has become much more dynamic.

In Italy these models hardly be legal

But the novelty that is making discussing comes from an idea as ingenious as it is spectacular: the Active security cameras Like the PaintCam Eve model available on Kickstarter. They do not limit themselves to filming the intrusion, but react. As? Shooting paint on the attacker. An effective method to report those who tried to force the entrance, making it easily recognizable. A sort of “thief stain” that accompanies him wherever he goes.

You can then push even further, also integrating a system a tear gas Useful to put the bad guys on the run before they can even touch something. If on the one hand the idea has aroused enthusiasm, on the other it raises inevitable legal and ethical doubts. What happens if the system is activated by mistake by a family member or technician? And is the defensive answer always proportionate? To this is added the fact that In Italy it can hardly be legal.

In addition to these avant -garde solutions, good habits remain valid: do not publish on social networks that you are on vacation, ask a neighbor to collect the mail, and keep the systems updated Wireless alarm. THE movement sensorsi magnetic contacts on doors and windows and the cameras With remote vision they are now tools within everyone’s reach. The direction is clear: to make the smart house also in the defense. And who knows, perhaps in the not too distant future, the thieves will have to change profession.
