Lazer Trip Wire

Juniper Foo | Mar 08, 2007

Mission Impossible-type trip wires? At a low-cost US$20, you get to play Ethan Hawke and secure the perimeters against dastardly co-workers swiping your tidbits or stationery without permission. There's just no respect for personal cubicle space these days. Just don't expect any red beams here since special effects are the purview of Hollywood. Instead, the Lazer Tripwire shoots unseen rays, or infrared light to be exact. To set up, you align the primary and two secondary units so the IR light and light sensors on each are aligned to form an invisible protection barrier. Once connected, a "system armed" will sound. Any attempt to disrupt a beam will result in a 5-second 48db alarm. Now all that's needed is to program a USB Missile Launcher to target the intruder and take no prisoners.
