Private drone, with a small surveillance camera


This handout picture, released by Japanese security company secom on December 27, 2012 shows a private drone, produced by Germany's Ascending Technologies, with a small surveillance camera that can transmit live pictures of a crime taking place. Secom plans to rent out the drone that takes off when intruder alarms are tripped and records footage of break-ins as they happen. PHOTO: AFP/ Secom
