To violate your privacy an IR sensor would have to be able to pick out people (98 degrees Fahrenheit, approx.) and put them on a map. Versus a sensor tuned to an actual fire which is substantially hotter and larger.

People aren't the only (or largest hotter-than-background, and maybe not hottest-human-sized) thing on your property that a privacy-violating IR sensor drone might want to detect. > Versus a sensor tuned to an actual fire which is substantially hotter and larger. If you want an early-detection sensor for fires, they'll be substantially hotter but not substantially larger than an adult human.
- nomel 2y agoI think the point is to detect fires as early as possible, since putting them out becomes much harder the larger they get. If you can detect a fire when it's human sized, you might be able to put it out with a local drone carrying some co2 fire bombs. It's fun/useful to think of things we can do.
