We're all at risks of some guy making his way into our homes and stealing things that do not belong. Not everyone can afford the service from the expensive security companies, so how about a drone? That could work, right? Yes, it can.

Secom has created a security drone that is capable of following an intruder while taking pictures for future use. It is not only able to take photos of intruders, but also of cars or whatever else that does not belong in your personal space.

With this drone, users should be able to tell if the cat is guilty of swiping the fish from the counter.

Keep in mind that this security drone won't be of much help when it comes down to taking down an intruder, however. It can only travel at 6MPH and doesn't have any form of defensive maneuvers should it be attacked. However, the upside is that should anything go wrong, the homeowner will have photos to hand over to the cops. Furthermore, all data collected by the drone is sent over to Secom's security center via the web.

Now, for those who might be interested in purchasing this awesome drone, the Japanese company is selling it for a whopping ¥800,000 excluding tax ($6,620). To keep the security service up and running, the company requires ¥5,000 ($41) on a monthly basis.

It's an impressive drone, and we believe that in the future it may be used alongside security guards for more efficient surveillance. Just imagine a situation where a guard is unable to get close to an intruder in time, but the drone could take photos of the intruder's face along with the getaway car.

The intruder's face, the license plate, that's a huge first step right there to get a hold of the perpetrator.

At the moment, Secom and its drone are not available in the West, but if it turns out to be a success, things could change.
