Modern security cameras are rather limited: if an incident doesn't happen within a pre-defined field of vision, a company won't know what's happening until it's too late. Secom is giving anxious offices a rare solution in what's supposedly the first airborne drone for private security. Its customized Ascending Technologiesquadrotor can take to the air if there's a break-in and record what's happening, even in areas that would normally represent blind spots. The automaton can also track moving subjects with a laser sensor and knows enough to keep its distance. Japanese firms wanting Secom's robot sentry will have to wait until after April 2014, when they can rent one at about ¥5,000 ($58) per month; the investment could be worthwhile just to freak out a few would-be burglars.

Seen these, not too good in high winds IIRC, great toys.

Here is a high end private use one in action, note the lack of movement as such.

Probably, sit at home and take out a school.

Whilst I agree with the NRA and 2nd ammendment there has to be a compromise drawn somewhere.

But a lot get conscripted and when or before leaving have access and retain full assualt weapons.

Let alone the shops. Ever been in a fully stocked Gun shop out there? It`s an eye opener to say the least.

 

I worked the day after Hungerford, in Hungerford. The person assisting me in the installation M Ryan, not the same one obviously. But we dared not let his full name known at the premesis.
