The Washington Post describes in detail a vision for home security” presented by Sauron, a Silicon start-up Valley which boasts a waiting list of tech CEOs and venture capitalists”.
In the future, your home will be as safe from intruders as a state-of-the-art military base. Cameras and sensors will monitor the perimeter, scanning the faces of passers-by for potential threats. Drones will scare offenders by marking them with a searchlight if they notice suspicious movements.
A virtual view of the home will be projected in 3D and updated in real time. Private security agents will monitor what is happening from a central hub…
Incorporating technology developed for autonomous vehicles, robotics for border security, Sauron has built a Great-duper συναγερμό διαρρήξεων, όπως αναφέρει ο συνιδρυτής της Sauron, Kevin Hartz, επιχειρηματίας τεχνολογίας και πρώην συνεργάτης στην εταιρεία επιχειρηματικών συμμετοχών Founders Fund by Peter Thiel…
Sauron currently has raise $18 million in funding from executives of Flock Safety and Palantir, a company analysisdata companies, but also defense technology investors such as 8VC, a venture capital firm started by Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale…
Sauron is targeting homeowners and plans to launch its project in San Francisco early next year, before expanding to Los Angeles and Miami…
Of course, big tech companies haven't developed tools like facial recognition as aggressively as Kevin Hartz would like.
“If someone comes onto my property, I should know who it is,” Hartz said…
Huge investments in recent years have driven down the cost of drones, high-resolution cameras and lidar sensors, which use light detection to create 3D maps.
Sauron uses low-cost hardware and tools like facial recognition, combined with custom software adapted for domestic use. For facial recognition, it will use a third-party service called Paravision…
Sauron is still figuring out how to use the drones, but is already imagining more aggressive countermeasures, according to Hartz.
