ALLBE1
A
llBe1 is a multi-purpose wearable developed in Israel that's equipped with an
infrared sensor,
accelerometer, GPS and range detector. When paired with your phone, it can be used to sound an intruder alert, track objects
or people, used as a fitness tracker, a
thermometer, a smartphone lock, an SOS transmitter, to detect motion,
ultraviolet light, and
more.
You
can wear it on your wrist or around your neck; you can use it to record ambient temperature,
to tag your belongings, install it at the main door for security; or
on a dog collar to track whereabouts. The mobile app lets you connect to
multiple AllBe1s,
so you can configure them individually and view the data it collects.
The
ecosystem is built on an `open' platform so that third-party developers can create
additional applications for this device.

from its smartphone app. And don't worry about losing this little gadget.
