Outdoor Home Security System from Sunflower Labs Employs Drones

November 7, 2016 by Frank Schroth 4 Comments

screen-shot-2016-11-07-at-7-48-55-amSunflower Labs announced the Sunflower Home Awareness System last week. The Sunflower System combines Sunflower Smart Lights  and the Sunflower Flying Camera to create a dynamically aware network surrounding your home. The Smart Lights are a durable, advanced collection of sensors placed around your home to identify any out of the ordinary events and activity. The Flying Camera , an autonomous quadcopter, works in concert with the Smart Lights to swiftly fly to and stream live video from any area of interest. Together, the Smart Lights and the Flying Camera provide awareness for home and property.

Each Smart Light has more than a dozen sensors that combine and analyze all the incoming data in real time from all lights installed across your property. The sensors detect motion, vibration, and sound. For example, they can recognize and identify cars pulling up your driveway, people approaching your home, and animals in your yard.

When an event occurs, the Sunflower System sends an alert to your phone or tablet. This can be dismissed if it’s nothing to be concerned about, or, deploy the Flying Camera. The System uses each interaction to learn the normal patterns for you and your home.

When you deploy the Flying Camera, it autonomously flies to the location of the event and sends live video back to your phone or tablet. The Smart Lights also act as navigational beacons, so the Flying Camera knows where to find the action, even as it moves across your property.

Sunflower Labs expects the system to be available in 2017.

You can reserve your system today: https://sunflower-labs.com
