Springfield Police Division investigators are looking for three men suspected of a home invasion and brutal beating.

The victim, who asked not to be identified due to fear of retaliation, lives on East Home Road and is recovering from the assault. He received 30 stitches to his head and ear from the attack last week.

The man has home security cameras that provided police pictures of the suspects and captured the attack.

I just hope somebody sees this footage and brings these individuals in and justice is served, the victim said.

Police are asking residents to contact them if they have any information on the three suspects by calling 937-324-7685.

The men knocked on the mans door about 12:30 a.m. Oct. 2.

The victim opened the door and the intruders burst through and started to attack the man at gunpoint.

They used binoculars and a DVD tower to beat him, and then tied him up with cable wires.

Its hard to explain, the victim said as he recalled the incident. I thought in my head, I need to keep calm to keep them calm and stay alive.

The men left the home with three boxes, believed to be full of baseball cards and Christmas decorations.

AMBRIDGE -- A website that purported to sell home security systems seems to have closed up shop and changed purposes after a Times investigation into its questionable business practices.

Home Security Shield officials changed the company website Thursday to eliminate all contact information and added a disclaimer saying that the company doesnt sell home security systems.

The phone number listed on the website also was disconnected.

HomeSecurityShield.org is not a home security provider, the disclaimer written at the bottom of the website reads. Rather, HomeSecurityShield.org is an informative website that evaluates, reviews and may recommend home security companies or features of a home security company.

That disclaimer was not on the website the previous day.

The changes come on the heels of a Times investigation that revealed that the company was masquerading as a North Carolina-based, accredited home security company and prompted a Beaver County state representative to ask the state attorney general for an investigation into the company, which seems to be based in Florida.

State Rep. Rob Matzie, D-16, Ambridge, sent a letter to Attorney General Kathleen Kane on Thursday, questioning the business practices of the company. J.J. Abbott, spokesman for the attorney general, said the request was forwarded to the offices Bureau of Consumer Protection.

I have concerns about their marketing practices, Matzie said. Its very difficult to find out any information about the validity of the company.

Matzie said he met with the attorney generals office on Wednesday about concerns that arose after the company ranked Ambridge the second-most-dangerous city in Pennsylvania using FBI Uniform Crime Report data from 2012. A former mayor of Ambridge, Matzie said the borough police and its mayor are very transparent about the type of crime that occurs.

They shouldnt be punished for being open, Matzie said. This ranking affects a town, especially a town that has struggled. The last thing we need is for our reputation to be drug down like that for someone to sell a product.

Now that this whole Internet of Things zeitgeist has really stated to take hold, simple DIY security systems are becoming increasingly common. Dozens of different companies have developed their own take on the idea, and while normally the announcement of yet another entrant into thiscategory wouldnt be particularly noteworthy, this new one from San Diego-based startup Pilot Labs has managed to catch our attention.

Its called CoinGuard, and while the tech inside of the system isnt all that groundbreaking, the design of it definitely is. Despite being equipped with motion sensors and some advanced networking tech, each CoinGuard module is no bigger than a half dollar coin.

This tiny size means that you can place CoinGuard practically anywhere, on anything that you want to monitor be it your windows, keys, jewelry, front door, refrigerator door, medicine cabinet, or even your cookie jar. Whenever the embedded accelerometer senses movement, the module beams an alert to the accompanying network hub, which then serves you a notification on your mobile device no matter where you are in the world. And because the system runs on ZigBee, you also dont need to worry about range the modules work together to create a mesh network and relay signals across long distances.

This isnt the first motion-based security system weve ever come across (check out Notion), but its definitely the smallest, which ultimately gives it a broader range of potential uses. Since CoinGuard can fit just about anywhere, its not limited to the same locations that bigger, more sophisticated monitoring devices are.

Obviously, this system has some big limitations compared to full-fledged security systems outfitted with cameras, but not everybody wants such robust security, and for those simply looking for an easy and affordable way to make their home safer, CoinGuard would likely be an excellent option.If you back the Pilot Labs Kickstarter project, you can pre-order yourself a set of three (plus network hub) for around $80 bucks. The project is still a long way from achieving its 100K funding goal, but its still got about a month left in the campaign, and if all goes well the company expects to ship the first units to backers as early as December 2014.
