Hi everyone,
I'm the founder of nexguard technologies, and we've built NexGuard software- a privacy-first home security solution designed specifically for African markets where security remains a critical problem.
The Problem:
- 1.5+ million housebreakings in South Africa annually
- Millions more across Nigeria, Kenya, and other African nations
- Traditional security systems are expensive, require stable internet, and fail during power outages
Our Solution: NexGuard uses WiFi radio frequency signals to detect human presence - no cameras, no invasive monitoring. The system decodes and interprets WiFi signals as they bounce off objects and people in the home, creating an invisible security wall.
What We Have:
- Working PC/Linux application - fully functional
- Android app - Receives real-time notifications anywhere in the world (Both apps communicate seamlessly - detect intruders via WiFi, alert instantly to mobile)
- Proof of concept validated - 92-95% detection accuracy
The Ask - $30,000: We're raising $30K to develop a dedicated hardware panel that will:
- Replace the PC requirement with a purpose-built device
- Plug directly into WiFi router
- Provide 24/7 monitoring without a computer
- Enable mass production and distribution across Africa
Why Hardware Now: The software works. We've proven the technology. But to scale across African markets and make installation truly plug-and-play, we need to move from PC-based to embedded hardware.
We're Looking For:
- Angel investors interested in African tech opportunities
- Hardware development expertise/connections
- Strategic advice on manufacturing and scaling
- Introductions to potential partners
Your suggestions, feedback, and any assistance would be highly appreciated. Happy to answer questions and provide demos.
Thanks for your time!
