A PhD graduate from Cambridge University has tapped the former Treasurer of the Conservative Party for investment in a new listening device aimed at simplifying sound monitoring at home.
The tool, known as the Earzz Smart Home Monitor, allows users to stay connected to the goings-on of their home by constantly monitoring for the sounds that they’d like it to detect, such as a car pulling on to the drive, the bleeping of a fridge door left open or a running water tap. It can even get as specific as detecting a baby crying versus baby coughing.
