AI that knows what to look for
The Bee detects suspicious behavior, security gaps, or vandalism, and sends real-time alerts when something needs your attention.
See how the Beehive secures your property
1
A flight is triggered
The Bee launches in seconds—automatically via motion sensors or cameras, on a randomized schedule, or manually on demand. However you deploy it, response is immediate.
2
The Bee flies to the destination
The Bee autonomously navigates to the destination, avoiding obstacles and flying in 99% of weather conditions. Routes and key locations are saved for future use.
3
You monitor or take control from anywhere
View live HD video and navigate the Bee from anywhere in the world—no drone flying experience required. Use intuitive tap-to-fly controls or direct the Bee to get a closer look.
4
The Bee detects what’s going on
As the Bee surveys your property, it uses advanced AI detection to identify people, vehicles, and animals. It can track movement and follow targets in real-time, giving you eyes where you need them most.
5
The Bee deters unwanted visitors
The Bee’s presence alone is a powerful deterrent. As it tracks and follows suspicious targets, intruders often leave before escalation. With instant alerts, you’ll know if you need to intervene and what to expect.
6
The Bee returns to the Hive
After completing its mission, the Bee autonomously returns to the Hive. It lands and recharges—ready to deploy again in minutes, rain or shine.
Security that adapts to every environment
Whether you're securing a single home or a sprawling industrial network, the Beehive system adapts to deliver intelligent protection.
Industrial
Defend critical infrastructure from theft, graffiti, and disruption with AI-powered patrols built to plug into your existing security network.
Commercial
Protect high-traffic commercial sites with autonomous patrols that deter intruders, detect vulnerabilities, and deliver actionable incident reports.
Residential
Give homeowners and communities real-time visibility and peace of mind with on-demand flights, smart alerts, and seamless integration into private security systems.
Built for security, designed for privacy
While the Beehive system delivers unmatched visibility and protection, it’s engineered to respect boundaries—literally and digitally.
Flights operate in geocaged airspace

Frequently asked questions
Pricing & availability
What is the price of the system?
Pricing depends on property size, configuration, piloting hours and location. You can use our Design Your System tool to get a customized estimate. As a general guideline, the cost of operating our system ranges from $4-7/hr after it is installed for continuous operations.
Drone operations
How long can the drone fly on a single charge?
Our battery system is optimized for rapid reusability and frequent flights. Most of our customer flights last around 5 minutes. The battery can support up to 20 minutes of total flight time depending on weather conditions. However, we generally allow for around 15 minutes of operational flight time and reserve the last 5 minutes for safe return and landing.
How long does it take to fully recharge?
The recharging takes approximately 2x the flight time. For example, after a 5 minute flight, it takes 10 minutes to reach full charge. A 10-minute flight will take 20 minutes to recharge. If the battery is completely depleted, it takes around 30 minutes to fully recharge.
Can multiple Beehives work together to protect a larger property?
Yes. Multiple systems can be deployed and coordinated to extend coverage.
Integration & response
Can the system connect to security systems, external alarms, and camera analytics?
Yes. The system can be integrated with most modern security systems. We support most commercial Video Recording Systems (VRS) that can be configured to display RTSP streams. We also provide a webhook endpoint to trigger events. Sunflower Labs also provides an open API.
Legal & privacy
Is the system legal and does it have regulatory approval?
Yes. Sunflower Labs complies with all applicable drone regulations and assists customers with required waivers or licenses.
How does the system handle privacy?
All footage belongs to the customer. You can export or delete data at any time, and choose your preferred storage location. Performance logs are anonymized.
