HOUSE HUNTERS Can Dorian and Kennex defeat a killer home security system?
Fox
Welcome back, Humaniacs!
This week we have a killer "smart home," a band of pesky hackers, and Minka Kelly in a purple wig! Also, who's messing with Dorian's head? Let's find out!
Hey, remember how Rudy and Dorian were bunking together? Well, turns out Rudy is running tests on Dorian's processing core while our favorite DRN-droid is recharging. Dorian is understandably not so thrilled with Rudy poking around in his noggin, which Kennex compares to waking up to find that someone has given him a nice clean shave. "So if I shave you while you're unconscious, that would make you happy?," Dorian asks. (It's been a while since the writers threw a bone to Dorian/Kennex slash fiction authors.) What Rudy doesn't reveal is what he's seen inside Dorian's head -- a memory of the young bot playing with a toy train.
We cut to the home of Michael Bennett, who has a super fancy Synturion home security system. He greets his home security hologram, SAM, who looks like a slicker version of one of the MX androids. Michael and his wife Linda have been receiving death threats because a year ago their home security system malfunctioned and caused the death of a young trespasser named Aaron Kasdan. But thanks to their fancy smart home, they're the perfect picture of 2048 upper class bliss. Linda goes for a swim while SAM prepares Michael's (presumably daily) scotch. (Seriously, I have to get one of these smart home thingies.) SAM watches Linda while she swims and asks how the temperature of the water is. A little creepy, but nothing homicidal yet. Suddenly, a news report about Aaron's death appears on the TV. The cover on the pool closes, trapping Linda. When Michael tries to save his drowning wife, the home weapons system identifies him as hostile and shoots him.
The team arrives at the scene, and Dorian discovers that the home security system malfunctioned at the exact same time that it killed young Aaron Kasdan one year prior. Maldonado is too no-nonsense for coincidences and thinks that they have a homicide on their hands. Turns out someone hacked into the security system, but left no trace. Also, the Bennetts had been receiving a ton of death threats, so lots of suspects.
At Synturion, Kennex and Dorian meet another SAM, only this time he's an actual security android and not a hologram. Right before they meet with Peter Newsome, Synturion's counsel, and CEO Kay Stenson, Dorian gets a flash of the memory Rudy uncovered earlier. Mrs. Stenson got into home security because she was assaulted and wanted to help people feel safe. One group, called Anonymous, er, I mean, "Disrupt," has been particularly vocal in their attacks on Synturion. Kennex says maybe so many people are angry at Synturion because they remember the days when a kid jumping a fence would've been met with an angry shout and not a hail of gunfire. (If you're noticing some nods to the George Zimmerman case, well, you're not alone.)

'Almost Human' recap: Home Is Where the Horror Is

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 18, 2014
While most homeowners realize the importance of having an alarm system, in terms of providing safety and security against intruders, part of the battle against intruders is also very dependent on thinking outside the box. Thieves and criminals are actually very experienced in most cases, and they have developed techniques that allow them to outsmart many homeowners. Its important homeowners be proactive against potential threats, and think from the standpoint of a burglar.
The team at AlarmSystemReport.com, a site that provides reviews of top alarm companies, including FrontPoint reviews, has put together a list of the most unlikely and unusual home security tips that many homeowners have never heard of or thought to do.
1.Homeowners should always be aware of what theyre saying while in public and on social media. Many people arent aware that the reason they become targeted by a criminal is because the criminal overheard or saw them say something that made them a good target. Criminals dont often just strike blindlythey do their research before attempting to rob a home.
2.Dont assume criminals only strike at nightin fact, this is often the opposite of reality. Most criminals like to strike during the day, when they know people are away at work and school. For homeowners who work at home, or stay at home during the day, its important to be vigilant during the hours of 8 and 5, and dont assume behavior isnt suspicious just because its not occurring at night.
3.A wireless home alarm system may be the best course of defense against a well-trained burglar, because they often know how to easily disable wired alarms. Consider upgrading a hard wired system to a wireless option, because its more difficult for a criminal to disable.
4.Dont leave anything broken or damaged, no matter how small it may seem. Not only can a broken window, door jamb or doorbell leave an opening for a burglar, but it also indicates the homeowners are not very engaged, making them an easier target.
5.Utilize the car alarm if necessary. Leaving a car parked outside or in the driveway can mean access to alarm systems that are unexpected. If a homeowner sees suspicious activity around their house, they can sound the car alarm from inside the home, and the noise is likely to deter a burglar pretty quickly. Burglars hate anything that draws attention to the situation.

In a 3,200-square-foot home in Milford, Mich., Chris Dierkes showed off one of AT&Ts latest service offerings: home security and automation.
Dierkes demonstrated how to turn down the thermostat using an application on his iPad.
The temperature is set to 72 degrees, the AT&T sales manager said last week as he slid his finger across the tablet screen. If you want to dip this down to 70, you can.
In an effort to find new revenue streams, AT&T, Comcast and other companies are taking on established home security companies such as ADT, which dominates the $13 billion home security market. The players new to the security business are hoping to leverage their data networks and existing customer relationships.
Moreover, in addition to home security, they are selling services that just a few years ago were too expensive for many people to afford, including the ability to remotely lock and unlock doors, see whats going on through surveillance cameras, and even shut off the water.
Wireless technology and increased competition has dramatically lowered the cost of installing equipment and allowed homeowners to integrate more automation features, said Chris Heaton, the vice president of membership for the Texas-based Electronic Security Association.
The market for this has taken off, he added.
Heaton said he expects the new competition to continue to increase and the number of homeowners nationally who have home security systems to grow from 20 percent to 30 percent or more in the next decade.
AT&T charges an installation fee for its Digital Life system, and then a monthly charge starting at about $30 depending on the services.
The network allows us to overlay more products and services and take the handheld devices and create new uses for them, said Greg Clark, an AT&T regional vice president of external affairs.

SINGAPORE, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Teo Chee Hean says the security breach at the Woodlands checkpoint last month involving a Malaysian woman and the subsequent action resulting in her arrest three days later are 'not acceptable'.
He said the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA) and police ground commanders had made an error of judgement and classified the incident, which occurred on Jan 17, as a less serious one - an immigration offence.
In an oral reply to parliamentary questions on the matter, Teo, who is also the coordinating minister for national security, said appropriate disciplinary action would be taken against the officers and their supervisors.
Relating the incident, Teo said that on Jan 17, 2014, at 1.58 pm, a 27-year-old woman arrived at the Woodlands checkpoint in her Malaysian car.
The woman, from Pendang, Kedah, drove past the ICA officer without going through the mandatory checks by tailgating the car immediately in front of hers, and slipping past the drop-arm barrier, he said.
She was then detained for crashing through the security barrier at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Jan 20, he added.
"The ICA and police ground commanders made a serious error of judgement in deciding to treat this intrusion as a less serious immigration offence, instead of a serious breach of border security, as required in the protocol.
"This was a major reason for the subsequent inadequate response which resulted in the vehicle and driver not being detected and arrested much earlier," Teo said, adding that both ground commanders had been redeployed to non-operational posts pending disciplinary action.
He said that if, however, a vehicle did make an unauthorised exit from the checkpoint, there was a security protocol for the police and ICA to treat the incident as a breach of border security and issue a high-priority alert to all ground resources.
