A cutting-edge surveillance system utilizes drones to detect and deter unauthorized activity around homes and businesses, providing a proactive and non-invasive security solution that dynamically adapts to evolving threats?
What advancements are coming to drone life in 2023?
The year 2022 has been an incredible ride for the drone industry, with numerous breakthroughs and innovations that have left us excited about what’s to come in the next year. McNabb
Alarm.com Inc recently earned a novel US patent (US2023005256) enabling the use of drones for preliminary building surveillance. Pre-surveillance is a crucial step in establishing key details about a target area prior to conducting actual surveillance. According to Alarm.com, drones can offer a compelling monitoring solution for residential and commercial properties by monitoring individuals’ activities near or on the premises without being overly intrusive.
The UAV-based pre-surveillance system is engineered to detect and identify unconventional activities – akin to an unauthorised individual entering a loading area outside regular working hours – and enable the security operator to respond proactively, without overreacting to legitimate operations.
Utilizing drones, comprehensive strategies and programs are developed in conjunction with specialized equipment and laptop applications stored on a digital device, enabling the precise pre-surveying of designated properties. Within a unified framework, a singular entity could potentially integrate a surveillance component. The monitoring unit may incorporate a community-facing interface, a processing core, and a data storage module containing instructions that activate the processor to execute specific operations. Operations may involve acquiring knowledge indicative of various acts by property occupants, utilizing this knowledge in accordance with a predetermined surveillance rule, determining whether the rule is satisfied, determining a drone navigation path related to the rule, transmitting an instruction to a drone to conduct pre-surveillance on multiple properties using said path.
Since 2017, Alarm.com has explored the potential of integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations within a comprehensive security framework, initially conceptualizing “guard dog” drones capable of safeguarding residential and commercial properties. Notably, the company recently forged a strategic alliance with Sunflower Labs to launch an innovative autonomous safety drone solution, empowering seamless surveillance across entire properties with unparalleled efficiency and reduced human involvement.
Is the patent launch truly one-of-a-kind? Alarm.com provides extensive information publicly.
