The 'Gaze' is a new pocket-sized everyday carry (EDC) gadget that protects the owner's belongings while the items are left unattended. The Gaze is a connected device that synchronizes to a companion application to allow the user to keep a constant eye on their EDC belongings with the device's 200-degree viewing range camera. The gadget features a smart digital lock, a vibration sensor, a security alarm, and the ability to record movement.
While the Gaze will not definitively ensure that any device is not stolen, it acts as a strong theft deterrent that generates clear evidence that can be used to expose thieves. When movement is detected, the camera on the Gaze activates and streams to the mobile application. Then, when the Gaze is breached and its items are moved, it will sound an alarm that will continuously play until it is deactivated manually by the owner.
The Gaze gets its name from the fact that it is always keeping a gaze on your belongings when you are not.
