Yes, our backwater. podunk little apartment complex security team has a UAV.

Ours is a Ladybird V2 flown via 2.4Ghz, with a TX5805 camera unit transmitting on 5.8Ghz to a Devo F4 controller with LCD viewscreen clocking in at a range of about 100 yards and flight time of 8 minutes per battery, which can be quick-changed at need.

Unfortunately, it's not very stealthy, that angry bug whine is very distinctive, but on the plus side it totally FREAKS OUT the neighborhood yahoos when they hear that little bastard coming.
Given I can port the video from the F4 to a DVR, they've got some reason to!

Alas that the big bad daddy is held up in customs, cause operating an aerial drone here is very challenging, especially at night, so we've opted for a ground based unit instead, which was oddly difficult to get.

When it gets here imma add an extra servo hooked up to a piezo buzzer 130db siren and some flashing lights, which'd be great for scaring the absolute crap out of creepers...

The property owner (NOT known for his sense of humor) thinks this all is absolutely hilarious, and suggested I should get a flyer that "looks like a UFO" instead of one that looks like a bug, heh.
The local punks, on the other hand, seem to be in mortal dread, so it's all good.
