  In addition, since the overall shape is a robot type, it seems to be seen by humans for suspicious people, and it can give an eerie feeling to the owners, and it feels like a pet for the owners.

  If the light emitting means is installed on the head, the crime prevention effect is further improved because the suspicious person can be given a “fear of being chased by a shining gaze”. In particular, this effect is exhibited in the evening and night when the surroundings are dark.

  Further, if a human sensor is provided and the driving means is operated based on a human signal from the sensor, the head is rotated only when a suspicious person approaches the front of the dashboard. Therefore, the suspicious person can be provided with a startle feeling synergistically, and the crime prevention effect can be further improved.

  In this case, if the head is rotated following the human signal transmission object, the head can be rotated so as to watch the suspicious person. The feeling can be further improved.

  In addition, if a photographing means and an image recording means for recording an image photographed by the photographing means are installed, an image of a suspicious person close to the front of the dashboard can be photographed and recorded. In some cases, it can be used as reference material.

  In addition, if an image browsing means is installed in the image recording means, an image of a suspicious person can be easily browsed.

  Also, if a human sensor and an alarm utterance means are provided and the alarm utterance means is operated based on a human signal from the sensor, an alarm is issued when a suspicious person approaches the front of the dashboard. Therefore, the suspicious person can be given a startle feeling from the auditory aspect.
