BenQ Portable CP220C DLP Projector

Rs 58,990

It’s new. It’s light-weight. And it’s quick and cool, function-wise. Making it a perfect accessory for professionals on the move. Coming from the World’s No 1 DLP projector brand, this got to be real good. Designed for portability, the new projector easily fits into a briefcase, making it a handy and suitable presentation tool. Further, its off-and-go function enables the projector to cool off quickly, saving you precious time when you are carrying it from one place to another. The additional features set it apart: the world-class Carl Zeiss lens, XGA (1024 X 768) resolution, brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens, contrast ratio of 700:1 and the colour matching technology that competes with the colour quality displayed on the notebook’s screen.

Pinnacle Video Transfer

Rs 7500

A gizmo geek’s wet dream, it’s an innovative device that records analog video from a TV, VCD/DVD player, VHS player, camcorder or set-top box and transfers it directly onto an iPod Video, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, PSP, USB flash drive, USB hard drive or any other portable video player without using a PC. Whew! Before we forget, it’s ideal for people who want to enjoy TV shows and personal videos on their iPod Video, PSP or just want to store them on a USB drive to archive or watch later. If you want to offload footage from your camera to a portable USB device when you are away from home and don’t have a PC, this will do it for you without a sweat.

Anti-Sleep Alert

Rs 125

If you are looking for a device that will keep you from sleeping, try out Zicom’s new light weight, compact device. Placed behind the ear, it emits a loud alarm signal when the driver’s head droops down a certain angle. This could be a great tool for overnight journeys when drivers tend to drift into the land of nod all too easily. Safe, easy-to-use and comfortable even with spectacles, it comes cheap, but is invaluable.

Anti – Loss Alarm

Rs 695

It’s perfect for parents taking care of kids. This device from Zicom alerts the parent when the child moves away from their orbit. It consists of a transmitter and a receiver designed like a key chain. The transmitter is attached to the child and the receiver is kept with the parent. A safe distance is set through the receiver (up to a max of 25 metres). If the distance between the transmitter and the receiver exceeds the pre-set limit, it will beep thrice to alert the parents that their child is no longer within the acceptable range. But if the child comes back into their safe orbit, the device stops beeping.

Security Alarm

Rs 545

It’s a portable security device from Zicom that greatly enhances the security of your purses, handbags and briefcases. This comes in handy particularly during walking, jogging or on an outing. To set it, just attach the ring clip to your bag and the snap clip to your wrist or belt loop. If someone tries to steal it, the alarm gets activated even as it stays attached to the stolen item and calls attention to the thief. If you are staying in a hotel, you can simply string the alarm cord across the door of the hotel room. If the door is opened, the pin gets detached and a piercing alarm sound ensues that could potentially scare off the intruder.
