The 'GuardBots' are a range of [spherical security robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance) that will provide enhanced capabilities for property owners that are looking to maintain enhanced monitoring. The robots will come in a variety of size options ranging from five inches to seven feet, which makes them suitable for different terrain in a wide array of different areas. The robots are capable of traversing over [snow, sand and water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lynx-m20-pro), which makes them ideal for use in a multitude of different locations where inclement weather is common.

The 'GuardBots' are outfitted with [security camera solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebo-air-2) on either side of the rolling design that can relay visual information to administrators to let them see what's going on without having to physically be there.
