    If used correctly by the dodgy types, these quadcopters with cameras on the front can check out village houses from quite a distance away

    1. how to reach the house from the back (any accessible routes)
    2. where are the pipes located that can be used to climb up, any pipes without barbed wires
    3. which windows are left open or the occupants will think that nobody can get into so they are left open for long periods
    4. Does the house have any pets in the garden
    5. Any visible security cameras

    and so on, its not about what can be seen inside but how to breach the property is the main concern. Once you get into the house, overpowering a maid or an old couple can done easily.

    On sai kung group in facebook, a lady did post a picture of a drone that was near her house, I told her to go buy a gas gun and use it as a target practise

    But didnt know about your one.

    Is it nicer/better ? Do you know the differences between the 2?
    Difference? Maybe different organizer. Products and size is about the same, the one right now is maybe a little bit smaller. It's certainly interesting to have a look if you like that stuff. Tomorrow is maybe the best day if you want to buy samples.

    There are maybe 10 booth offering quad type drones.

    I added 2 pics from this morning.

    Mr Abrams said an initial investigation had indicted that someone nearby "channel hopped" the device, taking control away from the operator.

    Channel hopping is a form of hacking which can render the drone uncontrollable to the original operator.

    Oh boy, don't get your fingers in the propeller, it can do really deep cuts! It's certainly not a kids toy.

    And you don't have to take control of a drone to crash it, it's enough to make the owner lose control, i.e. by transmitting a strong noise signal in that frequency range.

    Local plod did say they'd caught an II with one. He obviously didn't sneak across the border just to fly it for fun....

    So these guys are getting footage of houses from the top.

    If I had a top floor I'd put a massive poster on the roof giving them a message.

    Maybe the don't bother message: "We ain't got nuffink worth stealing"

    Or the if you dare route: "I am a convicted burglar torturer"

    The options are endless
