What about dogs setting off the Sunflower sensors?
Cool system, I can see a successful future for this type of system.

Hello Undisclosed #1. Thank you for the question! I was unable to find any information on their site re: pet immunity. I've reached out to Alex at Sunflower to ask the question and will update when I hear back.

I think this system will be fairly pricey the recharging hanger as I understand is about $15K now, there are some competitors emerging but still too high. As for the snow issue that would not be a huge problem but freezing rain would be a issue. To me this is a system that would need to be less than 5K wholesale. Any integrator would need to invest some money in service training etc. and as I see it this is a system that requires more service than the alternative. Expensive homes would get a whole lot more mileage out of SMP robot or a LOOMO that could do the same thing at a ground level. You could even go more traditional and use cameras that could cover the entire property, tied into remote sensors and voice down at a lower cost. This would be great for a rich guy who has too much money the way its being developed is not a killer application but I do hope they find success

No mention of FAA regulations on this? Has the FAA stopped requiring line of sight operation, night time waivers, and lightened the regulations around commercial use?

What’s this wait for a human crap?
I want my drones scrambled autonomously at the first sign of trouble.
I want continuous guard tours.
I want onboard Sublethal.

I'm definitely interested in testing this. My company has an FAA exemption to operate drones and test new tech.

This, and systems like this, are the future. The public is being conditioned to accept robots, and many see robots around the house as inevitable. Industries are already considering the "robot disruption" issue in their production planning sessions.
Roomba was just the first baby step. If they position the drone system as "robotic", they will be riding the free publicity wave. Price? All consumer electronics devices drop rapidly in price over time. If they find success with the early adopter segment, they may be well positioned as a supplier of the security robotics that we will all be someday demanding.
Whether or not security dealers will be part of the picture remains to be seen.
