Dynamic and interactive: social software offers a wide variety of activities through the internet. Contacts and made and kept using a diverse range of different online communities. You can do anything from online flirting, gossiping, advising, chatting, to blogging. Even the ordinary neighborhood like quick exchange of pleasantries has somehow found its way into the web.
Hookidoo now offers users a new function. At www.hooidoo.com you can use a computer supported alarm system to oversee defined online areas including the ones you use for private or for business. You can protect yourself as well as those you come in contact with online from unauthorized access of your data.
And here is how it works: Before you can start you’ll need a PC, webcam, and a registration on the website. Then you’ll need to download a certified, secure, and free java program onto your computer which contains all the algorithms needed in order to be able to detect the webcam and its’ field of visibility. The area used by the webcam can then be monitored. If the user requests an automatic SOS-email is sent directly to the user upon any changes occurring in the webcam. This alarm can be set-up to be unnoticed by the intruder or can be programmed to start making sounds and noticeable flickering on the computer screen.
It should be fun to be part of a helpful, virtual community with Hookidoo. Our goal is have our users feel secure. We are eager to see what new applications will arise using our idea (of an online alarm system), said Hookidoo company associate/shareholder Thomas Steffens.
He sees communicative students and school children as the main target audience but also business men and women in companies or small businesses. Hookidoo is for anyone who thinks an alarm system is too expensive and who wants free and reliable security of a specific area.
An idea still in the pipeline is to offer an inexpensive alarm system service per text messaging or telephone which could also lead to a type of service provider franchise.
