Alarm.Com Holdings, Inc. announced plans to develop autonomous, video-enabled drone applications to extend the capabilities of smart home and business security systems.  Alarm.com’s multi-sensor awareness and property intelligence, together with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon Flight drone platform, will deploy drones to investigate unexpected activity. The drones will be designed to autonomously navigate through the property and provide a high-resolution video feed to the property owner. Alarm.com’s Insights Engine applies machine-learning algorithms to the growing data set generated by devices and sensors in a connected property.  By recognizing complex activity patterns and detecting anomalies, Alarm.com can proactively respond to events on behalf of the user.  Alarm.com intends to leverage these insights to intelligently deploy video-enabled drones to the location where unexpected activity was detected or when an alarm was triggered.  Strict, opt-in privacy controls will enable the property owner to easily share the video feed with a central monitoring station and emergency responders.
