Are these guys serious? Shut up and take my money.

Still looking for more details, not much to be found. Apparently ADC released a few seconds of footage of the drone prototype https://youtu.be/-61oJbpx13Y

Here’s some footage of the Snapdragon drone platform, this makes me slightly less pessimistic about this thing’s chances of functioning outdoors https://youtu.be/9WQ3LQfdYt8

Same, but keep in mind this is just an announcement. There’s no exact ETA yet, so it is difficult to expect when details or demonstrations will be available. Although I imagine as we progress through the year, you’ll see more and more on this. It’s pretty splashy as far as security industry announcements go.

For sure. I would be shocked if this actually launches before CES 2018. I’m just surprised they’re telling people “Alarm.com is targeting a launch for their drone service at the end of 2017.”

Yep I raised an eyebrow. Even if not released I’d like to see a working demonstration of capabilities.

I had a feeling this was just hype back then. Did they give up on this idea? Seems so at least

There haven’t been any recent announcements but I don’t think they gave up on it. I think it will become commonplace, especially in commercial security. Alarm.com is making a big push into commercial security.

They just got the patent on this last month.
