Usecases
Custody Protect
The smart handcuffs, equipped with sensors to monitor inmates’ vital health parameters (heart rate, acceleration, gyroscopic data), utilize Captive Portals to ensure only authorized personnel can access health and location data. Prison personnel are redirected to a secure login page via the Captive Portal before accessing the IoT system, ensuring that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access. This ensures the secure and efficient operation of the smart handcuffs system, helping prevent custody-related incidents while safeguarding sensitive data.
