RF monitoring system

by @rf-monitor

I'm building an RF monitoring system. It can tell you things like: - The car that parked nearby last night coincided with "Chad's Galaxy Buds" with MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. The buds also drove by briefly the previous night. - Alert on sudden cross-specturm interference (e.g. burglars using a cheap jammer to knock out WiFi cameras). - Alert on known device contact loss (powered off / left premises). - Review device movement across a campus/neighborhood (using multiple RF pods). I have a working PoC. It can run on a low-power computer (e.g. RPi) supporting multiple RF sensors (BT/BLE/WiFi). Has a web UI. Can publish events to an external security system. Currently working on an LLM interface to make it easy for a non-technical operator to set policies and ask questions. Could be sold as an appliance system or a license for a DIY build. Angel investors are welcome to contact rf-monitor@tuta.com
