What are Security Drones?
Security drones, or surveillance drones are uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) that incorporate cameras and sensors to deliver real-time video feeds and situational awareness for security and surveillance purposes.
These drones are specifically engineered to improve safety and security across a range of environments, such as commercial, residential, and event spaces.
They serve various functions, including perimeter security, intrusion detection, and surveillance, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution compared to conventional security measures.
What are the Benefits of Drone Technology in Security Services?
The swift progress in drone technology indicates that surveillance conducted by security drones significantly improves situational awareness by delivering real-time aerial video feeds to security personnel and management.
Physical security operations, such as perimeter foot patrols across extensive areas, can be efficiently conducted and verified as secure far quicker when compared to K9 units or human security officers.
The benefits of aerial surveillance over both built environments and natural landscapes enhance the efficiency of security patrols while simultaneously lowering labour costs and expenses associated with other CCTV technologies.
Rapid repsonse
Trespass and emergencies require immediate action, as every second can greatly influence safety results. The use of drone security significantly improves this response. A surveillance drone can perform perimeter patrols more quickly and frequently than a human, delivering real-time information through its onboard camera.
Improved detection
Security drones are free from ground obstruction, and unaffected by blind spots compared to traditional deployed CCTV. They can monitor industrial and commercial locations more effectively using telescopic zoom, low light cameras, and thermal sensors. The height advantage of aerial surveillance drones greatly improves detection on the ground and in control rooms.
Safer missions
Using drone security minimises the risk to your security teams, as the aircraft can maintain a safe distance from person of interest or identified risks. Drones can monitor risk and support security personnel and emergency services. Drones are capable of streaming live video feed to decision makers in real time without exposing staff to potential harm.
Saving cost and increase ROI
While there is an initial investment in drone technology and training. The increase in security capability can streamline current security service delivery, creating a more effective, reliable and affordable solution long term. Further costs can be offset by utilising drones for inspecting infrastructure and supporting FM and business operations.
Drone Security at Night

Thermal Imaging
Detect intrusion in complete darkness
Security at night has always been more challenging and generally a higher risk of intrusion and crime exists under the cover of darkness. When you deploy security personnel with unmanned aircraft providing an aerial thermal picture at 400ft in complete darkness, the advantage favours security and shifts the scale, reducing the risk to our clients business assets, staff and their security teams.
High Powered Spotlights
Regular drone surveillance equipped with strobe beacons and powerful spotlights significantly enhances deterrence and exerts psychological pressure and response on criminals. The use of spotlights ensures a clear view of individuals on the ground, and when paired with thermal imaging, the security drone delivers sophisticated capabilities for surveillance and detection.

Data Security and Privacy
Drone security operations and their impact
Data protection is a fundamental right that empowers individuals to control their personal information. The misuse of drone technology, along with the imagery and data it gathers, can infringe upon this right, potentially leading to violations of individual rights and freedoms.
We provide training to ensure our clients understand their legal obligations and responsibilities regarding data security and privacy when utilising drone surveillance. Our clients’ drone teams are equipped to plan and execute security missions while minimizing third-party intrusion.
Ethical drone security operations
We are passionate about educating our customers on a drone service that supports deterring and fighting crime, in an ethical and responsible manner.
Drone Security and Technology
The era of solitary guards patrolling perimeters with inadequate flashlights is over. Traditional security measures, such as multiple cameras, often require extensive installation and maintenance, and they are vulnerable to blind spots and physical tampering.
In contrast, security drones offer significant advantages due to their elevated position and expansive field of view. They can carry various payloads that enhance their ability to detect and deter criminal activity, making them far more effective than human guards, dogs, or ground-level CCTV systems.
Equipment that Detects and Deters
Multiple cameras
A security drone can be equipped with multi camera payloads: a telescopic zoom camera for long-range observation, a wide-angle camera for comprehensive scanning, and a pilot camera to enhance situational awareness.
Thermal sensors
A thermal sensor identifies heat and presents it visually. Thermal drones can address a wide range of critical tasks across various sectors, including intruder and fire detection, search and rescue operations, and utility grid inspections.
Searchlights
Searchlights emit powerful lumens over extensive areas during flight. The white light can be remotely activated from the ground and adjusted to align with the camera's pan and tilt. Detering criminal activity and gather evidence at night.
Broadcast systems
Communication from the drone to the ground. Messages can be pre-recorded for playback or transmitted live from the drone pilot's command station. This facilitates swift communication for crime deterrence or emergency situations.
