GORT (BD-LED) is a robotic security guard that stops crime before it occurs. When an intruder enters a secured area the GORT light will turn on, scan the area and lock on the intruder. The light will flash several times informing the intruder that he is being watched and recorded. As the intruder moves through the secured area the light will follow him, convincing him that he is being watched by a human who is controlling the moving light.
If an IP system is connected to the GORT, a user can look through the camera via internet and move the camera/light to view the secured area.
