Meet your home operating system. Home security should reinforce your peace of mind. You deserve a sanctuary, one that gives you the freedom to live your life with the people that matter most. That’s why we created something entirely new. Sauron is an autonomous platform for the perimeter of your home. It works discreetly in the background to reliably identify potential threats in all environmental conditions and it instantly recognizes who’s part of your inner circle.

To complement the technology, Sauron leverages its Intelligent Response and Intrusion Suppression (IRIS) Command Center, staffed 24/7 by exceptionally 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.
