Criterion J

  well the product worked and more
• First Test Results Move the camera to a location
  where the door opening will not trigger the alarm

Criterion J Continued

• Second Test Results Change the angle of the
  camera so the camera doesn't sense extra
  foot-traffic
• Third Test Results The product is complete as
  can be due to limitations ( for example, lack of
  money)

Criterion K

• Once the changes were completed, the system was
  able to solve the social and ethical issues
  attached to it, such as health/safety and legal
  issues
