New Home Networking Toys for Your Connected Home

Consider yourself a home network power-user? Well, step up and take a look at the set of networking tools available from Network Magic Labs, an offshoot of Pure Networks (via NetworkGarage). The developers of Network Magic released the Lab to showcase ideas they have that are not quite ready for prime-time, but are useable prototypes that could develop into full blown products. The developers want all the feedback, positive and negative, that they can get on these products.

Of note are PhotoCast, Intruder Blaster and Net2Go Site Monitor. Photocast allows you to share any and all pictures in real-time with friends and family through a Net2Go account. Intruder Blaster works with a limited set of wireless routers to give you the ability to enable and disable security on your wireless router. You can also see how is connected and kick them off if they're not supposed to be there. Finally, Net2Go Site monitor does just that. It lets you know how much downtime your Net2Go account has had and alerts you when it happens. Best of all, these prototype tools are free to use. eHomeUpgrade | New Home Networking Toys for Your Connected Home
