Sauron Launches World's Most Advanced Home Security System

Company uses military-grade perception and deterrence stack to provide real-time 360 degree view of the home, offering the smartest security solution on the market.

First perceptual home security platform completely reimagines security through integration of cutting-edge AI, advanced hardware, and human expertise for 24/7 peace of mind.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sauron, the creator of the world's first perceptual home security platform, has come out of stealth today to launch an advanced solution that identifies and responds immediately to threats. The system is powered by a combination of AI-driven intelligence, advanced sensors, and human expertise to create the ultimate protective shield around your home.

"Sauron has built the best security system on the planet, integrating multi-modal 3D perception, audio and natural language, and unmatched human expertise, to provide a comprehensive understanding of any scene around the home," said Kevin Hartz, co-founder and Chairman of Sauron. "With Sauron, we're not just enhancing security—we're redefining what it means to feel safe at home. Our platform doesn't just see; it understands, protects, and responds in ways no other system can."

Legacy home security providers offer outdated and fragmented products, delivering unreliable hardware and software experiences. Given the notoriously high false-positive rates of these systems, police departments understandably delay their response to alarms. For homeowners, this deprioritization of alerts, combined with an already understaffed police force, creates a dangerous situation. Whereas prior security systems have served merely as passive monitoring, Sauron goes beyond witnessing a crime to actively preventing it. The Sauron platform offers a camera-based 3D perception system complemented by other sensing modalities like LiDAR, thermal, and radar. Sauron's elegant sensor pods are mounted on the exterior home, providing live 360 degree awareness and total comprehension of the action on the perimeter at all times.

Sauron's technology components include:

• 3D Perception and Intuitive User Interface: In contrast with a matrix of video screens, Sauron reimagines the experience of interacting with a security system, offering the industry's first real-time 3D view of the home. To achieve this, the platform uses multi-modal sensor fusion, combining high resolution camera images with LiDAR, radar, thermal, and other sensors for all-weather performance.
• Active Threat Deterrence: Sauron's suite of deterrence features, from talk-down speakers to actuated spotlights, intercepts criminals, making them aware that they are being monitored and should leave.
• Elite Human Monitoring: To complement the technology, Sauron leverages its Intelligent Response and Intrusion Suppression (IRIS) Command Center, staffed 24/7 by deeply trained agents with diverse backgrounds in law enforcement, military service, executive protection, and other critical security fields. The team builds relationships with local police departments to ensure a rapid police response to verified security incidents.
• Zero False Positives: The user will always be alerted to anything important without distraction by irrelevant information or spurious notifications.
• Effortless Elegance and Seamless Integration: Sauron provides a bespoke white-glove service, ensuring that each client's security platform is installed with precision and care, swiftly and without disrupting the comfort or aesthetics of their home.

"Our autonomous platform will completely reinvent home security with its ability to continuously scan the perimeter of your home, reliably identify and deter threats, and remain unobtrusive yet uniquely powerful," said Jack Abraham, co-founder of Sauron. "Our ultimate goal is to provide homes with a major security upgrade, seamlessly combining cutting-edge technology with a human touch to enhance safety and deliver peace of mind."

"Perception and autonomous technology have advanced significantly in other sectors, such as autonomous driving and robotics. We've brought the precision of that technology to residential security, starting with the perimeter, where homes are most vulnerable," said Vasu Raman, co-founder and Head of Engineering at Sauron. "We've redefined home security by integrating new technologies in a way that makes the home safer and easier to manage for homeowners. From our approach to sensor selection and coverage, to the immersive 3D user interface, it's all new and unlike anything the consumer has ever seen. There's nothing like Sauron on the market"
