The Sunflower Home Awareness System deploys a drone when something is amiss outside

There’s no shortage of home security options on the market today, from simple products like Canary to full-on solutions from Netgear. However, it’s becoming harder to reimagine and differentiate from the competition. Insert the Sunflower Home Awareness System. A blend of outdoor sensors and an aerial drone combine to create one of the more unique solutions that we’ve seen.

How does it work? The intelligent sensor system detects movement across your property. If something seems out of place, you’ll be given the option to deploy your drone and investigate further. Sunflower uses garden lights to house the remote detectors across your property in an attempt to hide the security system. Although drones have notoriously short battery lives, you should be able to get enough flight-time to see what’s going on. This system seems best suited for larger properties, something that a traditional camera system might not cover as effectively. Sunflower has yet to release a final retail cost but you can reserve your place in line with a $100 discount included.

The Sunflower System is a fresh take on home security that combines Sunflower Smart Lights and the Sunflower Flying Camera to create a dynamically aware network surrounding your home. The Smart Lights are beautiful, durable and technologically advanced collection of sensors that are placed around your home to identify any out of the ordinary activity. The Sunflower Flying Camera, an autonomous quadcopter, works in concert with the Smart Lights to swiftly navigate to and stream live video from any area of interest.
