Drone Monitoring Solutions
Aerial awareness for large sites, and protection from unwanted drones.
Some sites are too large to watch from fixed cameras alone. We design drone programs for perimeter patrols, incident response and infrastructure inspection, and help you detect unauthorized drones flying over your property.
Who this is for
Built for organizations like yours
Large Industrial Sites
Plants, yards, solar farms and construction sites with perimeters too long to patrol on foot.
Logistics & Storage
Distribution centers and storage lots where theft and trespassing happen after hours.
Campuses & Venues
Facilities concerned about unauthorized drones capturing footage or creating safety hazards.
The problem
Risks we address
Gaps in large perimeters
Fence lines and remote areas that fixed cameras cannot cover affordably.
Slow incident response
Guards dispatched to alarms with no idea what they will find when they arrive.
Unauthorized drones
Drones used for surveillance, smuggling or reconnaissance over your facilities.

Design
Choose platforms, flight routes, docking and integration with existing alarms.
Certify
Plan operations under FAA Part 107, including waivers where required.

Launch the program with procedures, training, logging and ongoing review.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you stop drones flying over our facility?
In the U.S., private organizations may detect and report unauthorized drones but generally may not jam, spoof or disable them. We set up detection, alerting and response procedures that work with law enforcement.
Do we need our own licensed pilots?
Not necessarily. Programs can be run with in-house pilots trained for Part 107 certification, by a managed operator, or by automated docking systems with remote oversight.
