Drone surveillance is the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to capture

still images and video from a distance or at a high altitude to gather

information about specific targets, which may be individuals, groups, or the
environment.

FOR THE MOTION-

Rapid response

Emergencies require immediate action because every minute can be a

difference between life and death. However, traditional observational
surveillance methods by humans on foot or land vehicles are a long and time-
consuming process. With security drones, the process is much more effective.
A drone for surveillance can perform perimeter patrols 30 times faster than a
manned patrol, so it provides feedback in a few minutes.

Improved visual capacities

Drones can fly from a high altitude that allows offering a wide aerial viewpoint
without blind spots. With high-quality sensors and HD cameras, drones can
detect anomalies or events in low light conditions and from meters away.

Safe missions

By using remotely controlled drones, you can help reduce the risk to security
staff as pilots will be a safe distance away. In the event of a suspect
apprehension or disaster outbreak, it is best to send a drone to see the
situation first and investigate potential risks before humans get inside.

How are drones used for surveillance?

Traffic management
Drones outfitted with HD cameras observe vehicles on the road. Once they
find illegal parking, emergency lanes occupation, unsafe lane changes, or
other illegal behaviour, the drones will capture evidence and fix these
violations.

Besides, drones with speakers are being used by police to warn offending
vehicles to stop or evacuate vehicles to leave the accident scene in an orderly
manner, which improves traffic management and ensures smooth roads.
Perimeter guarding
Drones have been widely used in the aftermath of rockfalls, forest fires, and
earthquakes. With continuous 2D and 3D data collected by drones, we can
assess building damage in hard-to-reach areas, plan evacuation routes, look
for survivors, and evaluate erosion and flooding.

Disaster management
Drones have been widely used to assist emergency response services with
situational awareness in the aftermath of rockfalls, forest fires, and
earthquakes. With continuous 2D and 3D data collected by drones, we can
assess building damage in hard-to-reach areas, plan evacuation routes, look
for survivors, and evaluate erosion and flooding.

Environment protection
Drones for environmental monitoring can do a lot to help save wildlife and
the planet. Drones can easily monitor the health of forests and wildlife, which
means less impact on the area because no one has to make the trek. They can
also map around surface water, outfalls, etc., and obtain data on-demand to
facilitate resource management and compliance monitoring over a wide area.

Border patrol
Drones are an important asset for border security because they can perform
real-time reconnaissance, acquire targets, and track personnel movements
and illegal activities through high-quality video feeds. Compared to fixed
video cameras, a thermal drone fitted with an infrared detection camera is
better at tracking irregular activities, such as illegal border crossing attempts
through dense forests or mountainous terrain.

Event surveillance
Drone surveillance is an ideal choice when it comes to large events such as
concerts, political rallies, and marathons. They can be deployed very quickly
and provide you with an overview to prevent illegal activity and protect
attendees.

Crimefighting
Drone technology is also helpful for law enforcement. If drones capture the
actions of criminals, they can be used as evidence in the right circumstances,
or in the case of an escaped criminal, these high-quality images can help
identify the criminal.

Anti-Poaching
Anti-poaching drones are making a big impact in the saving of Rhinos,
Elephants, Tigers, Gorillas, and other critically endangered species. Using a
variety of gimbals, drones can easily detect the heating signatures of wildlife
or people at night, identify the existence of guns, determine their location,
and inform the ranger's anti-poaching procedures.
