Introducing DroneShield: Drone Detection Just Got Personal

Worried about drones flying over your property or an unmanned bot looking in your window? Check out this simple, inexpensive device that alerts you via text and email to the presence of any nearby drones. The video was made for an Indiegogo Crowd Source Project and was an immediate hit. The funding goal has been surpassed and the product should be available later this year.

Tiny Affordable Device Detects Nearby Drones

The device will cost $69 and will be the size of a USB thumb drive. It will use Raspberry Pi, a tiny $25 computer. The engineer behind the project says he imagines customers will attach the Drone Shield to their fences or roofs to protect their home from surveillance.
