A security system utilizes at least one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is equipped with a video camera and a motion detector. The UAV is controlled remotely by a ground control station having a computer. When not in flight, the UAV is mounted on a docking station that has a battery charger for charging a battery in the UAV when the UAV is docked at the docking station. The UAV has a transmitter that transmits an alert signal to the ground control station when an intruder is detected via the video camera or motion detector. The ground control station is configured to deploy and control the UAV to follow the intruder upon receiving the signal from the UAV. The UAV is controlled by personnel at the ground control station, who can direct the flight path of the UAV based on the movements of the intruders.
