As a parent or a clumsy adult, you might be worried about outlets
and putting things in them and getting electrocuted.
Well, let's take a look at this product.
Nice!
Welcome to Good Tech Cheap, I'm today's host, Matthew, and today we're
going to be taking a look at the Myolab Radar Guard Smart Outlet.
That's right, this is a smart outlet to help you not get electrocuted.
Plus, it does all kinds of other awesome things.
But as you know, in every episode of Good Tech Cheap,
we do a full unboxing and review.
So, let's get into it.
This is the Myolab Radar Guard Smart Outlet, the XZN005.
This is a safety outlet right here.
packaging on it looks really really nice let's open it up one
of the first things you see in the
box is going to be this little user manual right here
and this is just going to explain how to get
everything installed and get it all set up
so super important next up you do get two of the
screws that are included
and the safety outlet itself whoa this thing looks really nice right
here like it feels very very high quality
and as you see this isn't one that you just
Plug in on top of another outlet,
you're going to hardwire this in.
And there's reasons for that.
This will give you more safety and more protection.
And I know it seems like a simple outlet, but it's not.
It's got multiple safety features
to keep you safe from getting electrocuted.
But let's go ahead and get everything set up and try it out.
This is the Myolab Safety Outlet.
What if your electrical outlets could actually
detect danger before something even touches
them?
That's the idea behind the Myolab Safety Outlet,
a new approach to electrical safety
that adds an extra layer of protection for homes,
especially those with young children.
Traditional tamper resistant outlets use mechanical
safety shutters designed to prevent objects
from being inserted into the electrical slots.
And while that's an important safety feature,
Myolab takes it a step further.
The technology behind this product is called radar.
Radar Guard Instead of relying only on physical barriers,
the Myolab outlet uses radar-based sensing to detect
when an object or hand approaches
an unused electrical receptacle.
When something gets too close,
the outlet can automatically interrupt power to that
unused receptacle before physical contact happens.
And here's what's really interesting.
It does this while allowing another device plugged
into the outlet to continue to receive
power.
For example, imagine you have a lamp plugged
into one side of the outlet and if someone
The system is designed to shut off power to that unused side
while keeping the lamp
running.
MileLab also combines two different safety technologies.
The first is active protection,
which uses radar sensing to detect approaching objects.
The second is passive protection,
which uses traditional mechanical safety shutters to
provide an additional physical barrier.
Together these technologies are designed
to provide multiple layers of protection.
Another interesting feature
is the privacy focused design, the outlet doesn't use
Most cameras or microphones and all sensing
and decision making happens locally inside
the device.
There's no internet connection,
cloud processing, or smartphone app required.
This means nothing to configure, no notifications to manage,
and no complicated smart home setup.
It's designed to work quietly in the background
while your family goes about its everyday
routine.
You can imagine something like
this being particularly useful in children's bedrooms,
living rooms, home offices,
and other areas where electrical outlets are easily accessible.
Now, one important thing to understand
is that MyLab is currently presenting this as
a concept preview with a Kickstarter launch plan,
so this isn't even fully released to
retail yet, and its final specifications,
certifications, and real world performance
will be important things to evaluate.
So overall, I think the concept behind MyLab's safety outlet
is really interesting.
Instead of waiting for something to make contact
with an electrical outlet, the goal is to
detect potential danger before contact even happens.
It's an additional layer of protection
that could make everyday electrical safety
This is our first time working with MyLab
and I gotta say this thing is so handy, especially
if you're a parent and you're worried about
your little children putting their fingers
in the outlets.
And the thing is, is yes, you can go get
those little outlet caps right there, but
You also need to use outlets sometimes,
so you have to take that cover off and essentially
create an environment where they can still be shocked.
But MyLab has got you covered.
Such a smart product.
