Robots guarding your home sound a lot more tempting when the price is surprisingly low. Kris Abel isn’t buying this one, and the specification that stops him is worth hearing before you picture it patrolling your hallway.
Imagine checking a disturbance without being there: the camera leaves its base and goes looking. That’s the appeal. But look past the demonstration and ask what you’d actually be bringing into the rooms where you live. One deliberate design choice makes this a particularly unusual housemate.
The question isn’t whether a flying camera would be interesting to own. It’s whether you want to be among the first people finding out how well it works. Kris has a clear answer, with reasons that the purchase price alone won’t tell you.
