"Unplug" which detects a device such as Google Glass and releases the Wi-Fi connection

Devices that can transmit images captured with the camera on Wi-Fi as they are, such as network cameras and Google Glass, are convenient but sometimes the risk that privacy is easily infringed or important information leaks Many people are already aware that it is a "double-edged sword" lurking behind. In order to alleviate such risks, a device that senses a Wi-Fi connection by a specific device such as Google Glass and blocks it is "Unplug"is.

How to use Unplug is a very simple thing that only inserts the main unit into an outlet. With this alone Google Glass and the live camera in the areaDropcamDetects Wi-Fi connection by, etc., informs with alarm and blocks connection to Wi-Fi network.


Unplug detects the unique signature on the signal issued by the device such as Google Glass and checks it against the device information stored in the main unit and detects the Wi - Fi connection by the corresponding device. When a device is found, it notifies by LED or alarm, it can also forcibly remove it from the network by sending a packet invalidating the connection authentication of the corresponding device. This causes noise of radio waves to make all communication impossiblejammingIt is a different mechanism. The "device block list" registered in Unplug is updated regularly so that the latest state is maintained, so even if the unique signature of the device is changed, it is possible to respond at any time I am doing it.

While technologies evolved and became convenient, among those who felt a sense of crisis that recording and recording can be performed even in the situation which was conventionally difficult to think, "Stop The Cyborgs"Movement is rolling and this Unplug is also a product that has been developed with the spirit under consideration.


To eliminate the device, exclude the corresponding device from only the network managed by the owner of Unplug "Territory mode"To exclude the corresponding device from all the recognized networks"All out modeAlthough the two types of "All Out Mode" are illegal in some areas, manufacturers recommend use in "Territory mode".

Note that Unplug is a device that regulates Wi-Fi data communication performed by a specific device, and does not interfere with camera shooting or recording / recording of those devices. Also, it does not have any effect on connection protected by password, but it seems to say that this has no way to match with the specification of Wi-Fi.

Still, it seems that certain effects will be expected for information leaks etc. that have been piggybacked on open networks such as public Wi - Fi. In addition, we are also developing technology to intercept and interfere with Bluetooth connection communication.

"Unplug" is scheduled to start accepting reservations from 30th September 2014, and if you register your e-mail address on the site you will be informed. Two models will be prepared for the lineup, and the price is expected to be about 50 dollars (about 5400 yen) to 100 dollars (about 11 thousand yen). In the meantime shipments will be made to EU countries, the UK and the US.
