Smart home security vendor Abode launches the Iota-- an all-in-one security device bringing together a 1080p security camera, motion sensor and home security gateway in a single devices.
First seen back at CES 2018, the Iota is designed to enable more flexibility in security system design. It works as either a standalone device or as part of a wider Adobe security system, with support for Z-Wave, ZigBee and RF connectivity support allowing it to pair with compatible devices, as well as products from the likes of Nest, Ecobee, Philips Hue and LifX, among others.
The projector features a Texas Instruments 0.66-inch 4K DLP DMD chip able to generate 8.3 million individual pixels. Also included are DLP DarkChip3 and BrilliantColor refinements for deep black levels and vibrant cinematic images. To resolve a 4K 1-pixel line pattern, the HK2288 uses eXpanded Pixel Resolution (XPR) technology employing 4.15 million (2716 x 1528) mirrors capable of switching over 9000 times per second to deliver two discrete pixels for each mirror per frame.
According to the S. Korean giant, the 9820 features a 2+2+4 setup, meaning it has two 4th generation custom CPUs as top performing units, two Cortex A75 CPUs as mid-tier performance cores and four Cortex A55 CPUs for maximum power efficiency. The result is a single-core performance boost of 20% compared to the 9810 (the chip inside the Galaxy S9), or a 40% boost in power efficiency. In addition, multi-core performance is up by 15%, while broadband speeds clock at up to 2.0Gbps.
Made by Maryland-based Unit-e Technologies, the PC Classic in the least has the look down, with a cheerfully beige plastic shell complete with "cooling vents" and even what looks like a little 5.25-inch style drive. The little drive takes SD cards, and beneath it are a pair of USB ports for controllers or input peripherals. The unit connects to TVs or monitors via HDMI or composite video out, and the back hides another USB port. Bluetooth connectivity is also included.
