MyFox

LAS VEGAS -- At CES 2015, European home security company MyFox debuted a brand-new system specifically for the US. The focus of its offerings: DIY simplicity, privacy and prevention.

In theory, the MyFox system can help you prevent a crime before it happens. Many DIY systems, including the well-rounded offerings of SmartThings, include door and window sensors that can alert you when the entrance to your home is ajar. The MyFox sensors do that but go a step further and sense vibrations as well. Should a crook attempt a forceful entry, MyFox will sense it and sound an alarm.

A connected camera rounds out the MyFox system. It also includes a unique twist to the standard offering -- a remotely controlled shutter. If you worry about privacy having a connected cam set up in a watchful position at all times, simply close the shutter when you're home.

MyFox

The camera offers 720p HD with a 130-degree field of view. That stacks up well to the likes of the DropCam Pro and Piper. It has night vision, two-way audio and motion detection, giving it the tools to be an apt sentry.

The camera will cost $200 and be released sometime in Q2 of 2015, along with a separate security kit for $300 that includes those vibration-detecting sensors mentioned above.

That kit also includes a siren, a hub and a key fob for easily arming and disarming the system, which all mate with the door and window sensors aimed at crime prevention.

MyFox

With plenty of connected cameras out there to go along with a variety of smart-home systems, MyFox differentiates itself by adding small extra touches. Vibration detection will be cool if it works and doesn't cause notification overload from every passing leaf. MyFox claims it won't; that the system can tell the difference between incidental noise and actual cause for concern.

LAS VEGASYou cant swing a burglars bag of loot at CES without hitting some new smart-home security system. Amidst all the cameras, sensors, and touchscreen control panels, Ekin Labs exhibit stood out: Its has a software solution, dubbed Hi WiFi, that transforms the hardware you already own into a sophisticated motion sensor array. And it will be free when it emerges from betafor a limited time, at least.

The Hi WiFi system is deceptively simple. You install the software on at least two Wi-Fi-enabled devices in your homesmartphones, tablets, PCs, or what have youand the software triangulates the location of those devices relative to the location of your Wi-Fi router. Anything that moves within that zone will cause the connection to fluctuate. If the fluctuation is significant enough to indicate that a person is moving around your home when it should be unoccupied, Hi WiFi can send an alert to your smartphone.

Ekin Labs co-founder and CEO Francescantonio Della Rosa explained that the alert system can be customized based on your preferences. For example, if a home burglary is taking place, he said, you might want to jump straight into calling the police instead of letting a neighbor know whats happening.

Della Rosa said that the Hi WiFi system is also able to detect and eliminate false positives from being reported. For example, the motions of a cat bolting through the living room or a breeze shutting a window are going to be very different from a human adult methodically breaking, entering, and pilfering a room.

Hi WiFi can detect someone moving around your home and send an alert via smartphone if the software is set to "away" mode..

The downside to this approach, of course, is that how the system only works while ones Wi-Fi devices, including the router, are strategically located. Youd probably want to use older devices for this job simply because you no longer carry them with you. And then youd need to make sure nothing has been moved every time you leave the house.

The story behind the story: Hi WiFis price tag zero-dollar price tag renders it worth checking out, and it could be a good supplement for other security systemsIP cameras, for instance that can deliver confirmation of whats happening inside your home. But the proof will be in the pudding.

Wind blows snow off the roof of a building Wednesday on Liberty Street in Chambersburg. Wind chill temperatures could dip into the double negative digits Thursday. (Markell DeLoatch Public Opinion)

FRANKLIN COUNTY >> Double-digit wind chill values will blow in Thursday and create what AccuWeather expects will be the coldest day of winter so far.

All of Pennsylvania, and most of the eastern half of the nation, is under a wind chill advisory for part of Thursday. In Franklin County and the surrounding region, the advisory extends through 3 p.m.

In this area, the coldest wind chills are expected late Wednesday night into Thursday morning, said Greg DeVoir, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in State College. Residents should prepare for wind chills dipping to 20 below zero at times, he said.

The cold morning forecast prompted Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Tuscarora and Shippensburg school districts to call two-hour delays for Thursday morning by early evening Wednesday.

The warmest part of the day will be 18 degrees with the wind chill making it -9 degrees, according to NWS.

The cause of the freeze is an arctic air mass which, combined with gusty winds, will produce lower temperatures the farther it reaches into the area, according to DeVoir.

As the digits drop, the danger they can cause increases.

The key to staying warm, and preventing hypothermia, is dressing in layers and ensuring skin is covered, according to NWS. Eat nutritious food and stay hydrated throughout the day.

Those older than 65 are especially susceptible to hypothermia, accounting for almost half of deaths caused by it, according to Home Instead Senior Care. This is because as people age, they can lose ability to feel how cold it really is.
