# Toy Gun Security Systems The Infrared Nerf Autocannon is a Non-Lethal Guard Dog By Josh Milenthal | Published 2010-09-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infrared-nerf-autocannon References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/03/infrared-nerf-autocannon-hunts-predators-little-sisters-too-vi/) & [homecast.net](http://home.comcast.net/~prescottr_adelphia1/site/?/home/) If you've ever wanted a high-tech security system to guard your home and worried about tripping the sensors yourself, the infrared Nerf autocannon is a system that will quell those fears. It gives you an auto-targeting turret that can guard your home with the best of them, with no chance of anyone getting hurt. To make the infrared Nerf autocannon, Rick Prescott customized a Nerf dart gun with cool toys like an infrared tracker, motor, and battery pack; he also made the gun capable of firing semiautomatic and automatic rounds. I think it's the most fun security system I've seen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Non-lethal Security Systems:** Opportunity for developing innovative security systems that prioritize non-lethal and safe alternatives for guarding homes and properties. - **Auto-targeting Technology:** Potential for incorporating advanced auto-targeting technology into security systems to enhance accuracy and efficiency. - **Customized Toy Gun Trend:** Emerging trend of customizing toy guns with technology and additional features for functional purposes like security. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Security:** Potential for integrating toy gun security systems into the home security industry as a unique and entertaining option for homeowners. - **Technology and Gadgets:** Opportunity for the technology and gadgets industry to develop and market innovative, non-lethal security systems like the infrared Nerf autocannon. - **Toys and Games:** Expansion of the toy industry to cater to the growing demand for customized and technologically advanced toy guns for various purposes, including security. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gel Pellet Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-1.md) - [Digital Laser-Powered Blaster Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-tag-set.md) - [AI-Powered WiFi Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-security-alarm-system.md) - [Compact Gel Capsule Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerf-pro-gelfire-legion-blaster.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Themed Dart Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starfleet-phaser-blaster.md) - [Gel-Equipped Toy Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-gelfire-mythic.md) - [Creator-Backed Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrbeast.md) - [Autonomous Threat Detection Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threat-detection-system.md) - [Cutting-Edge Foam Dart Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-range-blasters.md)
