If there is a fire in your building, this app will guide you through the nearest fire exit. If you need help, this app will guide you to the nearest CCTV from where you can signal for help.

The interesting part is the cost of maintenance and installation of the device is quite low as it has a batter like that in a watch, is operational for 2-3 years and costs just Rs. 20.
