A drone in English is a toy that looks like a toy at first glance, but because of its low noise it can be taken close to penguins, seals, and whales to take pictures without affecting them.

In other words, using a drone, a small unmanned aircraft with six rotating wings, does not require an airplane cameraman or a satellite to photograph an Antarctic penguin and seals.

Inside the drones, there are a GPS (Global Positioning System), a gyroscope for detecting the rotation state in a three-dimensional space, and an acceleration sensor for indicating the moving state.

Also, the drones are used in the army, and the reason for using the drone in the military is that there is no fear of human injury because the pilot can see the images sent by the drones at the safe ground base,

The reason why scientists pay attention to the drones is that they can get valuable research information even in places that are difficult to access.

Now used primarily for scouting and destroying enemies in international conflict areas, the drones are widely used to monitor wildlife, monitor poaching, perform hurricanes and volcanic hazards, and perform dangerous missions.

In the future, drones are expected to find survivors and deliver medicines at disaster sites, and research is underway to utilize drones for simple delivery such as food and newspaper delivery.

On the other hand, in recent years, the increasing number of crimes is emerging as a social problem. In order to prevent such crimes, CCTVs for preventing crime are installed in dark alleys and underground parking lots to monitor the occurrence of crimes in these areas.

However, even when a plurality of CCTVs are installed in an alley or an underground parking lot as described above, there are many blind spots in which the shooting range of the CCTV is insufficient. In many cases, CCTVs are not installed in urban redevelopment areas or rooftops, The crime rate is higher than other regions.

For this reason, the government and local governments are trying to eliminate blind spots by increasing the number of CCTV installations and expanding crime prevention, but the expansion of CCTV has been limited due to huge cost and manpower problems.

In particular, there is a blind spot where security is concerned in a housing complex such as an apartment, and large and small incidents occur in such a place. CCTV is installed in some spaces but is installed in a fixed form, Since it is limited to the range, it is insufficient to cope with the crime that occurs within me.

In addition, the prior art provides a technique of performing courier service, for example, using a large-size drones, and it is possible to directly capture a subject and a surrounding situation without disturbance in the air using a micro- In addition, in case of an emergency such as a crime, a fire or a traffic accident, the emergency situation can be notified to the outside in real time, so that there is a problem in that it is not possible to provide a technique capable of protecting the user's individuality in various aspects.
