Welcome to Osney Consulting. We are an electronic engineering consultancy, developing innovative and dependable products both for ourselves and for others.
Our main area of work at present is Mains Monitor, a new security device for protecting mains-powered equipment from theft. This technology is protected by British patent no. 2424107 and US patent 7,876,212. Other British and international patent applications are pending.
You can’t steal anything mains-powered without unplugging it. Mains Monitor is a modified plug which responds with signals sent through the mains cable in response to periodic requests from a controller. Take the plug out – no response to the request, so the alarm sounds. The plug also detects the current flowing to the appliance, so if you cut the cable, you get the same result.
We expect the primary market for this product to be organisations which have high-value mains-powered equipment, but also need to be open to the public to some extent, otherwise they can’t function. This includes universities, hotels, libraries and hospitals.
We currently have fully working prototypes available for demonstration and are looking to license our technology to interested parties.
