iAlertU is a remoted controlled motion sentivie alarm system for the MacBook Pro laptop. Utilizing the built in motion sensor technology, iSight camera and the infrared remote control your MacBook Pro can now be turned into a high tech alarm system. iAlertU is aimed at being a tamper/theft deterrent system for those times when you need to step away from your work momentarily.

Currently this version only works on the MacBook Pro but I am looking into getting it working on the PowerBook and iBook machines.

Here are some key features of "iAlertU":
Mute button override
Volume max when alarm is active
Flashing screen when alarm has triggered
Idle sleep disabled when alarm is active

Features under development:
Camera integration
Email snapshot on network availability
Forced sleep disable for duration of alarm
Audio output jack disable for duration of alarm
User selectable sensitivity
Visual deterrent that alarm is set.

What's New:
When FrontRow is active iAlertU is ignored
Power button, eject button and several other keys will now set off the alarm.

Requirements:
An Apple MacBook Pro / MacBook (not compatible with PowerBooks or iBooks).
