DRONES & AERIAL SYSTEMS

Sunflower Labs

Overview

Sunflower Labs makes the Home Awareness System, a residential security platform combining ground-based smart-light sensors, an autonomous security drone called ‘the Bee,’ and a charging/data hub called the Hive. The system autonomously detects, tracks, and visually verifies activity across a property, alerting owners in real time through a mobile app.

Specifications

  • Ground sensor units disguised as garden lights that detect and classify motion using vibration and infrared/radar sensing
  • Autonomous drone (‘the Bee’) that self-launches from its dock to fly to a detected disturbance and stream live aerial video
  • Weatherproof docking/charging station that houses the drone and onboard AI/processing hardware
  • Real-time property map showing detected activity and drone flight path via companion mobile app
  • Autonomous flight with GPS precision and collision-avoidance sensors for repeatable patrol routes
  • Cloud-connected alerting and video review for remote monitoring of the property

Common Uses

  • Perimeter and grounds monitoring for large residential properties, ranches, or estates
  • Autonomous aerial verification of alarm triggers before dispatching a human response
  • Deterring intrusions, trespassing, and package theft with visible drone patrols
  • Supplementing fixed CCTV coverage with mobile aerial vantage points in blind spots

How This Strengthens Your Security

SPADE integrates Sunflower Labs’ autonomous drone coverage into our patrol plans for large or hard-to-cover properties — an aerial first look at a disturbance before we commit a guard on the ground, so your response is faster and your team is never walking into a blind spot.
