The SensorSphere is a nifty robotic ball that can roll around your home and keep track of what's going while you're away, before notifying you if you need to know about any goings-in.

The robotic ball, which can be controlled remotely, allows users to enjoy flexible and portable protection of their home without forcing them to install a number of different [security cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebo-air-2) and devices to keep tabs on every part of the home. The device can easily be customized with different modules including night vision cameras, microphones, [smoke and temperature sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-sensors) and more.

The SensorSphere was initially designed for police and firefighters but was adapted for consumer markets, proving that this kind of transition is often quite sensible and even desirable.
