Undoubtedly, security systems play a valuable and decisive role in our lives, both in public and private spaces. Especially when it comes to our own personal space, our home, our priority is to make it as safe as possible. There are now many means and equipment that can enhance the security of our home – from intercom systems to smart locks and the installation of multiple cameras. But now, something even more special and advanced has been added to the list of systems that enhance the security of your home: security drones .
Specifically, Sunflower Labs introduced the new Sunflower Home Awareness System, which includes Sunflowers. These are motion and vibration sensors that look like color-changing garden lights, but in fact do much more: they record and display on a map the movement detected around your home (people, vehicles, animals) and in real time, thus keeping you informed about what is happening around your home at all times.
Each of the Sunflowers has a 20-foot detection range and can accurately detect and distinguish people, cars, and animals. The Bee (a fully autonomous drone with cameras ) takes passive surveillance to a new level and can be deployed on demand to provide you with more details about any untoward activity detected in your home. It’s like having someone constantly checking for any noises you might hear at night, and more importantly, you won’t be in any danger.
The quadcopter uses GPS and “ultrasonic collision avoidance sensors” to stay in the air and live- everything it encounters, directly to your phone.
At CES 2020, attendees were given the opportunity to ask the drone to “inspect” certain pre-defined locations. For example, someone could ask it to visit the pool and it would show a live stream of everything it saw. At that moment, the drone showed a company employee walking by the pool.
However, one question that could be asked is whether what the attendees were seeing was captured in real time by the drone or not. Many asked Sunflowers Labs if it could somehow prove that the patrons were not simply watching a recorded video. A company representative then took out phone and asked the employee standing by the pool to turn on some of the lights in the backyard. And the lights came on a short while later. So the drone was authentic.
Finally, it is worth noting that the Sunflowers security package starts at $9,950, and its price is adjusted to the needs of your property, while you can now pre-order it for $990. Drones are certainly not an affordable way to enhance your home security, but they may be worth your money.
