KEVIN 3.0 ("Kevin") is a home-security device made by **Mitipi**, a Swiss company. Instead of recording or reacting to intruders like a camera or alarm, Kevin **prevents** break-ins by simulating a believable human presence: it recreates the changing light, moving shadows, and authentic household sounds of an occupied home, so a property looks and sounds lived-in even when nobody is there. It uses **no camera and no microphone**, plays its simulations locally on the device, and keeps working even if Wi-Fi is jammed. When you are home, Kevin doubles as a lamp and a Bluetooth speaker.
