FIBARO Motion Sensor Wins First Prize

  • Apr 24, 2015
FIBARO intelligent home automation systems announced that its Motion Sensor received a first prize in the 2015 International Design Awards (IDA) in the Home Interior Products category.

The IDA honorary juries examined over 1000 entries submitted by architects and designers of interiors, fashion, products and graphics from 52 countries throughout the world. Parameters for the awards included design, creativity, usability and innovation. All winners receive publication of their work in the International Design Awards Book of Designs.

The FIBARO Motion Sensor is a highly advanced wireless device with a built-in motion sensor, temperature sensor, light sensor, and accelerometer. With a diameter of less than 44 millimeters (under 1-3/4 inches), it is the smallest device of its kind in the world.

Designers were inspired by the pupil of a cat’s eye and its quick reactions; sensitivity and field of vision are all encompassed in this compact device. The FIBARO Motion Sensor incorporates four practical functions:

  • Detects the slightest motion (with the ability to adjust sensitivity);
  • Informs the user of the temperature level;
  • Informs the user of light intensity; and
  • Detects any changes in device movement (vibration), alarming the user of any attempt at tampering.

This product is part of an intuitive and affordable smart home system called FIBARO that is able to control 95% of all home devices.  The system can be easily managed by saying a few simple words (thanks to remote voice control), or through taps on the user's smartphone or tablet.

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
