This could rival home entertainment for generating digital content
Just saw a pitch for Sentinel2, a surveillance system for homes and small businesses. From the way its manufacturer SVAT talks about it, you’d swear it would be on the shelves at Best Buy with the flat screens and BluRay gear. This product and others like it are designed for the mass consumer market.
Most interesting: the Sentinel2 has a Seagate 160GB SV35 hard drive inside. That’s twice the capacity in my admittedly long-in-the-tooth Tivo system.
160 gigabytes in a product targeted at the consumer mass market…this has the looks of a storage killer app! That is, if SVAT et al are successful in getting us to adopt this latest new gadget.
I just found SVAT’s Sentinel1 on Amazon.com…I guess it wouldn’t surprise me to see it at Best Buy after all.
