@rrhoover Exactly my thought... I kinda wanted him to press the red cross to see if the drone would blow to pieces the intruder...

@rrhoover lol this is exactly what i was expecting with the "This is wild " notification. Booby traps and sniper bb guns with the option to eliminate the target from your phone.
Hi guys!
We are super happy to finally announce what we have been working for most of this year. My co-founder and I were both huge drone enthusiasts and we wanted to build an outdoor home security system that didn't require us to install and wire a bunch of cameras. We wanted the camera to go where the action is and give you the best point of view, instead of being fixed on the house it is trying to protect.
As we started developing it, it turned out that the more complicated part of the system wasn't the drone, but the ground sensors that would need to identify unusual activity and summon the drone when appropriate. Not only do the sensors need to be smart about detecting what is happening on your property, but they also need to work together as a network to reduce false positive, determine direction of motion, and to act as a navigational beacon for the drone.
We raised a round of funding from General Catalyst, and we started building.
And today we are happy to announce that we have a set of working systems, detecting what is going on and an autonomous drone that takes of and flies itself to the location it wants to investigate and streams back live video (and returns home and lands)
Our next step is to build up interest and to being manufacturing. This is why today we are announcing the product and opening up reservations.
Happy to answer any questions.

@alexpach Looks awesome! A couple of questions: since the lights don't look like they're secured to anything, what's to stop someone plucking them out of the dirt or throwing something over the sensor?
How do I sign up to your list to stay updated?
@songcarver imagine being at work, Siri contacts you via iPhone or iMac and says there is suspicious activity at the house, she sends a drone to collect footage and asks if she should call the authorities... that is getting more real by the day ...
@ned_desmond We're working to make it as quiet as possible, but the powerful spotlights on it will definitely make it obvious to any person who is in view of the camera.
