Deployment sequence

Three phases from a shared pot of money to a unit on patrol.

  1. PHASE 01

    Fund

    Each household commits £30. At £3,240 we buy the unit outright — owned by the estate, not rented.

  2. PHASE 02

    Deploy

    Using LiDAR navigation, PATROL‑01 walks pre-mapped routes across the estate on scheduled patrols — a visible presence on quiet streets, including after dark.

  3. PHASE 03

    Go live

    Patrols are monitored live through the Unitree app, with footage and regular check-ins shared with residents.

FEED OFFLINE

Once deployed, patrol footage and live check-ins will be shared here and with residents.
PRIVACY & TRANSPARENCY

Your privacy comes first

  • Streets only

    The dog's camera only monitors the streets — not gardens, windows or inside homes.

  • Nothing new

    It's no more intrusive than the doorbell cameras and car cameras already across the estate.

  • Residents only

    The live webcam will be available only to residents of Brockhall Village.

  • You decide

    How the patrol dog behaves is dictated by the residents — we set the rules together.

Query log

Got a question? Contact Jason on WhatsApp — .

Who runs this?

This is run by Jason Dahar, a resident of Highwoods Park here on the estate. I've been living in Brockhall for 10 years and I'm a software developer. I'm not looking to make any financial gain from this project — it's a resident-led effort for Brockhall Village, and every pound goes toward buying and running the patrol unit, nothing else. You can contact Jason via WhatsApp on if you have any questions.

What will it actually be able to do?

We're aiming for a Unitree Go2 Pro, which has LiDAR as standard — so it can follow pre-mapped patrol routes, avoid obstacles, and carry an HD camera we monitor through the app. Honest limits: roughly 1–2 hours per battery charge and it's best in dry conditions — so think scheduled patrols rather than a 24/7 all-weather guard.

What if we don't reach £3,240?

Contributions are returned, or rolled into an alternative community security measure decided together by everyone who chipped in.

Is the camera always recording?

The camera is used to monitor patrols. Any recording or storage follows UK data-protection guidance, agreed with residents first.

Can I give more than £30?

Please do — choose any amount. Covering a second household helps neighbours who'd like to join but can't right now.
