An operation control device for an electronic apparatus is provided. An operation control device for an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is connected to an electronic apparatus and can transmit and receive signals to and from the electronic apparatus and a control device for remotely controlling use of power in the electronic apparatus, comprises: a measuring unit for calculating the amount of power supplied to the electronic apparatus; and a communicating unit for receiving identification information of the electronic apparatus and state information of the electronic apparatus from the electronic apparatus, transmitting information regarding the amount of power, the identification information of the electronic apparatus, and the state information of the electronic apparatus to the control device, and receiving a first control signal for controlling operation of the electronic apparatus from the control device and then transmitting the first control signal to the electronic apparatus, thereby switching the electronic apparatus to an off mode or a sleep mode.

In one embodiment, a video surveillance, communications, and control system for the home is disclosed. The system may include one or more video cameras located in one or more rooms in a home, one or more motion detectors in one or more rooms in a home, one or more lights in the one or more rooms, each of the one or more lights being remotely controllable, and a console. The console may display video images sent from the one or more video cameras. The console may include a split screen capability for viewing one or more images of the one or more rooms, one or more buttons for remotely controlling lights in the one or more rooms, one or more motion indicators describing which of the one or more rooms have motion, and at least one button that enables a user to signal the police or security company.

There is disclosed an electrical protection slide for mounting in an electrical meter center enclosing an electrically conductive component, the electrical meter center having a front. The electrical protection slide comprises a slope portion having a downward slope toward the front of the electrical meter center and a mating portion about the slope portion and being adapted for holding at least a portion of the slope portion within the electrical meter center above the electrically conductive component.
