Hi Guys/Girls/Others
My sister keeps on asking me what this is:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_HaaJfXdypxw/S6...2012.09.05.jpg
And I honestly have no idea and am getting tired of her asking, can you help me out?
It has a square panel that appears to be a some sort of IR filter
A button
and at the bottom of the bottom is a small gap with a flashing red LED
Person to figure it out gets "Thanks" and kudos
where is it? wall? how high? more info?
Wireless doorbell.
sorry, not mounted on the wall, I put it on a piece of paper to give it some contrast for the photo
it's about 50mm long and 0.5mm thick
Whats the other side look like
Just black, no distinguishing marks features or serial numbers
Unpowered detonator monitor?
hmm, I doubt it, just can't think what my sister would want to blow up
Remote control for a garage door / electric gate?
They don't own a property with a garage or gate, not in this country anyways
Not a bad guess, but normally they operate on radio waves and I'm pretty sure this is IR, should have done a mobile camera CMOS IR test to confirm though
Radiologist badge for exposure limit?
EDIT: Definately not of this world. Have you welcomed it to planet earth yet?
"a remote"
if you want any more of a definiton well thats kind of the problem I find with contravariance
Yer I was thinking remote, I thought possibly for some sort of Camera, but my sister said no and why would it have a flashing red led?
Car alarm remote?
iPod 10th generation in black .
(From the future!)
Very small welding mask
Remote control for someones 'love eggs'
walk around pressing it and if a woman falls over shreaking in delight , you've found the owner ;)
For timer count-down.Quote:

For the first two I would expect logos emblazoned on it and I don't think the corsa has remote unlocking
Well I'm really hoping its not my sister! or my brother in law for that matter (that would be too wired)Quote:

Its for a tracking system in a car, most likely CAT5.
If you drive away in the car without that "remote" within 3 meters of the car it will alert the company who does the tracking and also the owner.
I've driven off in my car without that with me, got a text message saying my car was stolen and a call checking whether or not I was in the car within about 5 minutes.
Just thought I would register to enlighten you all, aren't I nice
Well thank you for that, they've been using all the Cars without it for a couple weeks now and haven't received any alerts. could it be that they haven't registered it yet?Quote:

you have any idea which car it is for, and which company they need to register with?Quote:

If you want to wait a little while (I presume it's 5 posts for a picture/url) I can put a picture up
ok, after a bit a further research it appears to be a cobra ADR Card
many thanks and kudo's to opal!
