Using phones12px|link=Wikipedia:Smartphone and computers as motion detector alarms12px|link=Wikipedia:Motion_detector
Using phones and computers as motion detector alarms
Phones and computers can be turned into motion detector alarms, by using their built-in cameras and other sensors, with apps such as the “Haven: Keep Watch” app. This could provide extra security during sleeping hours. Psychic phenomena, including phenomena that have been verified and accepted by the scientific community, might be able to induce a person to stay asleep or suffer amnesia whilst intruders enter premises and room whilst the person is asleep; technological measures such as loud alarms may be helpful to defend against such attacks.

Steganography: easy hiding of information in computer documents
