Review of the Home Office Electronics Video

Bob meets with Tim Woods in the 3rd floor office. Tim shows us the Panasonic PBX phone system which is ideal for a home business with conference call, paging, and intercom capabilities from anywhere in the house. The Web-based cam is another useful feature that allows the homeowner to monitor a room through a Web site accessible from anywhere in the world. Tim also explains that the homeowner's laptop has a wireless networking card from Cisco Systems, allowing wireless in-home internet access. The laptop also has a 64MB Secure Digital (SD) card reader that downloads music onto a card, which can then be played in the homeowner's car. Finally, Tim shows Bob the Panasonic Iris scanner. The Iris scanner interfaces with the homeowner's computer system allowing secure access to computer files.
