How does home drone detection work?
A security camera or cellphone that can see the sky sends video to Hares.Vision, running at home or in the cloud. The AI checks every frame, recognizes drones by type and size, ignores birds and planes, and alerts you in under a second with a video clip of the drone.
How can I tell if a drone is spying on my house?
Small camera drones are quiet and often fly at dusk, so most go unnoticed. The reliable way to know is to watch the sky continuously. Hares.Vision does that through a camera or cellphone that can see the sky and alerts you the moment a drone appears, with a video clip of the event.
What can I legally do about a drone over my property?
In the U.S., shooting down, jamming or hacking a drone is a federal offense, even over your own property. What you can do is document it and report it. Note the time and direction, keep video, and contact your local police. A time‑stamped Hares.Vision clip gives them something concrete to work with.
Will birds or planes set off alerts?
No. Hares.Vision recognizes birds, airplanes and helicopters as what they are and does not alert on them. Alerts fire only when a drone is in the frame.
Which cameras work with Hares.Vision?
Most outdoor IP cameras that offer a video stream (RTSP or ONVIF) and can see part of the sky. Some cloud‑only consumer cameras don’t provide an open stream; for those, a spare cellphone or one extra sky‑facing camera is the simpler route. Send us your camera brand and we’ll check.
Does it work at night?
On a cellphone, detection works in daylight and into dusk. After dark, results depend on the camera: night‑capable and IR cameras keep detecting, standard cameras see less.
Why not just use a free Remote ID app?
Remote ID apps only see drones that broadcast an ID signal. Many lightweight, older or modified drones don’t. Hares.Vision is optical: if the camera can see it, it can detect it, whether or not it broadcasts anything.
Is my video sent to the cloud?
Only if you choose the cloud option. Hares.Vision can run locally on your home network so your video never leaves the house, or in the cloud if you’d rather have nothing to install.
How much does it cost?
Hares.Vision for homes is a monthly subscription, with no hardware to buy from us. Book a demo and we’ll quote for your setup.
