In the future, your home will feel as safe from intruders as a state-of-the-art military base.

Cameras and sensors surveil the perimeter, scanning bystanders’ faces for potential threats. Drones from a “deterrence pod” scare off trespassers by projecting a searchlight over any suspicious movements. A virtual view of the home is rendered in 3D and updated in real time, just like a Tesla’s digital display. And private security agents monitor alerts from a central hub.

This is the vision of home security pitched by Sauron, a Silicon Valley start-up boasting a waiting list of tech CEOs and venture capitalists.

Couldn't find a non-paywall version. Edit: found one thanks to @ireticent : https://archive.is/roxCM

There’s no way they are dumb enough to keep the battery in the same airspace’s as the occupants. There’s a reason power walls are usually installed in garages, or on the exterior of a house.

That said I’m sure there are still other ways to make them uncomfortable in their bunkers. Once the drones are neutralized it should be easy to mess with their air and water supplies after not too long.
