Future Work
• Motion sensor still to be ordered; issues with
cost and budget of project
• Biometric scanner for Windows CE must be
researched and either dropped or purchased
• Web Interface must be designed and work
with C# programs on eBox
• Model business center must be constructed
and R.E.A.L. security implemented into it
Remember: “A false sense of security
is worse than being unsure”
