Looks like a cool invention, and for some people it may be a good thing.
But personally i already have two drones, that will check out the situation and eventually go in attack mode.
They are ground-drones though, and i call them Belgian shepherds, actual police trained K9's

Pretty cool, but "hundreds a month" isn't. It's a neat concept but hard to see if it will actually succeed and people will use it. Either way thanks for sharing.

If that ever happens, thieves with RF jammers will become as common as Uber.

Friend of mine is a K9 handler. He calls his partner a Belgian Landshark.. I've always known them as Maligators..

Actually your state has no say in it. The FAA considers drones to be aircraft, and it is illegal under federal law to do anything to cause damage to someone else's drone. We're talking fines into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and up to 20 years in federal PMITA prison. If you use a jammer and cause it to crash, then you'll be facing charges and fines from the FCC as well. And anyone with the brilliant idea of shooting it down will surely be arrested for discharging firearms within city limits.

Strikes me as useless. Anyone scouting a neighbour hood where these are located will simply throw a weighted net onto the top of the very obvious cabinet from over the fence to stop it from opening / the drone exiting, before entering onto the property.
Even if deployed, the high angle of flight means all the picture you're going to get is of the top of someones head. Without a face pic, it's useless. It shows someone burgling your home but exactly that, someone..... Unless the drone flies at 7ft in which case it's vulnerable to attack, I can't see the value in it beyond alerting you/ the police to someone on the premises which is something even cheap doorbell cameras like a Ring can do. Are you really going to spend XXX Thousand for a drone that acts like a $100 doorbell? Can't see the market myself.

It's also illegal to interfere/endanger aircraft dropping fire retardant on wildfires or to encroach takeoff/landing areas at airports, but it's being done....with drones.
We have laws that stipulate how, where, when and by whom drones are to be operated and what the penalties are when those laws are broken. We have laws that stipulate how, where, when and by whom firearms can be possessed and discharged and what the penalties are when those laws are broken.
What it boils down to is that we have many, many laws about many things. We also have just as many people breaking those laws....positive proof that passing a law does not prevent a particular infraction. We have stupid people with drone controls in their hands and we have stupid people with firearms in their hands. The twain are destined to interact.
"Surely?" I disagree and would say it would be more like "possibly". I definitely am not an advocate of drone-hunting/shooting. I'm just stating an opinion here. I live in the middle of a 180,000 acre national forest about 500 yards uphill from a 21,000 acre lake in a very rural setting. My point? It depends on the location as to whether or not such an action could take place with impunity.
"Brilliant?" Anyone with the "brilliant" act of crashing a drone into my house, my property, endangering me, any member of my family or my pets WHILE ON MY PRIVATE PROPERY due to their recklessness or disregard for the safety and privacy of others will not be pleased with the outcome.

I don't worry too much about drones. In 2017, the 2018 stats aren't out yet, there were over 17,000 murders in the US, and over 40,000 vehicle accident deaths. How many drone deaths were there?
