The current work is a development of an interface to control a wireless drone for home security applications. A review had been done for the categorization of drones and drones’ trend for recent years. It was found that drones were basically categorized by weight and flight range and number of drones increased by leaps and bounds from year 2003 to year 2017. The history of drones and recent-year-founded applications were being reviewed as well. A research was being done on 19 types of drones which are available in current market such as DJI Phantom 4 and GoPro Karma and their applications. To the summary of the review, drones’ technology will be advancing with the current rate of development of technology and it will be more applicable to our daily life in the future. Proposed future research pathways on drone’s technology and their applications were being done as well to understand the future trend and possible advancement for drones.
