Comment Rovio NEEDS updating to be of any use for security (Score 1) 151

Rovio COULD be a great security device if the firmware!!! could be updated to do some basics like motion detection email/ftp on triggering, including Sound Events/recording etc.. It has all the hardware needed, but WowWee doesn't seem to be interested in the possible security applications. Oh another thing it needs (in case anyone is listening) is an option to have it 'not seek the charging station' when it's running out of power and has not left the station. So that if the house loses power, and after the rovio battery gets low, it won't hop off the charger to 'go find it' and endup dead in the middle of the room when the power returns. I myself had a burglary with the Rovio on, but it wasn't of any use. Thankfully other security measures worked and police were able to catch 2 out of 3 of them with my rovio in their trunk! Watching court proceedings currently, so far they have spent 3-6 days behind bars... Facing life in prison for being armed (thankfully I wasn't there).
