Safety & Security
Robots and smart devices for keeping an eye on a home — your own while you travel, or a parent's from far away. The most important thing to know: a camera that alerts your phone is not a safety system. It can show you what's happening. It can't call for help.
Enabot's EBO robots are small rolling cameras you drive around the house from your phone. They're good for checking on pets, a package, or whether the stove light is on. They can't climb stairs, and they only see what's in front of them.
Privacy first: if a person lives in the home, ask before installing any camera. For an aging parent, a camera they didn't agree to is often the reason they refuse every other safety device.

Camera-free ways to check on someone
Presence and motion sensors can tell you a routine is normal — up at 8, kitchen at 9 — without any video. Some, like Aqara's FP2, offer fall detection, but Aqara states the FP2 "is not a medical device, and can only be used for notification purposes," and its fall detection requires ceiling mounting. That's a family alert at best.
If what you actually want is someone responding to a fall, start with our living-alone-safely guide.
The FCC robot rule
Since July 28, 2026, new foreign-produced connected robots generally can't get FCC authorization without an exemption. Models already authorized can still be sold and updated. Enabot and several vacuum and mower brands are affected for future models.
