Placed by a street-facing window, it plays warm light, patented moving shadows and everyday household sounds so that, from outside, someone is clearly home. It is made for homes, flats, offices, shops and holiday properties that sit empty during the day, on holiday or between visits: people who live alone, families away on holiday, frequent travellers and expats, students in a first apartment, retirees, single parents, and owners of second homes. ## Key facts - Product: KEVIN® 3 (also written Kevin 3, KEVIN 3.0, Kevin.3).
