When you ring the door bell, it triggers the camera to take a picture and then sends the picture as an attachment in the email to people on the floor...and then just put a monitor up in the space that will show the pictures to anyone in the room when someone 'rings' the doorbell...then you can actually 'see' who's at the door ;-) Awesome stuff…now, instead of ringing an actual doorbell…how about the next version is hooked to a web cam?
