Preventing crime via RC helicopter cams

The Japan-based SECOM Security has unveiled a new surveillance camera which is mounted on a remote-controlled helicopter; but, the device acts autonomously. These drone cameras fly out whenever a crime is being perpetrated.

In Japan, technology is prevalent in modern-day society. With the advancements of technology, things become more convenient. In the case of private security, technology gives those firms a marketing edge. One prime example is a new autonomous flying camera unveiled by SECOM Security. The firm's aim is to make these drones available when 2014 comes around. It's a programmable surveillance camera that can fly around. However, you cannot buy these devices from the firm; but, you can rent these devices from the firm. SECOM Security wants to offer the services of one of those remote-controlled surveillance helicopter for about $58 a month. This type of camera acts an independent security camera. In a sense, this is something you'd see out of something like Konami's “Metal Gear” series. According to the RocketNews24 article, this special camera has a lot of sensors that will work with SECOM Security. To take advantage of these cameras, you need to contract with SECOM Security first. It will take pictures and send information back to SECOM Security in real time. If someone is trying to break into your place, the camera will immediately take the perpetrator's face. If the person has a vehicle nearby, the camera will take a picture of the license plate. Should someone try to knock the device away, it's programmed to quickly evade incoming dangers. Currently, the device is going through the testing phase.
