Drone Security System
When equipped with a tether, security drones can provide an aerial view over industrial sites and their surroundings for longer periods and help prevent intrusions, increase worker safety and improve crisis management.
Benefits of a Drone Security System
Persistent Surveillance
Increase your drone fleet endurance and conduct hours of uninterrupted general surveillance to better anticipate and manage incidents that may occur during dangerous manoeuvres, or to prevent illegal actions and intrusions. Tethered drones offer a 50-hour long flight time, surpassing the 20-minute long flight time provided by standard drones.
Ability to Make Fully Autonomous Decisions
A highly reassuring feature is the presence of numerous sensors on the drone. It empowers it to autonomously make decisions, such as landing safely in adverse weather conditions and excessive wind, triggered by sensor alerts.
Actionable Intelligence
If a crisis situation arises, you can rapidly deploy your autonomous security drone up to 100 metres and obtain an immediate view of the site, support responders and ensure safe coordination of the operation.
Automated Routine and Camera Flight Control
The drone’s camera can be programmed to automatically monitor designated areas at set intervals to oversee particular areas or recurring activities on the site.
Efficient Camera
The drone is equipped with a high-performance camera, allowing visibility of up to 10 km (6 miles) away. It also offers automatic detection of people and vehicles, along with obstacle avoidance capabilities.
Portable and Easy to Use
Logistically light, our tethered drone solutions can be easily transported in the back of a small truck or in a car to be deployed in different locations and meet the needs of reactive drone surveillance missions.
Learn to deploy and operate our drones in just half a day with dedicated tutorials and training sessions.

Elistair’s Security Drone
Industrial sites can involve high human and environmental risks, especially during manoeuvres, deliveries, or maintenance operations. By incorporating a drone security system into the safety measures of these sensitive environments, a comprehensive aerial perspective is provided, improving situational awareness. This not only helps prevent hazardous situations but also enables more efficient management of crisis situations, reducing the need for extensive manpower.
“Using a tethered drone is an asset that aid us in making the right decisions on time. It helped us understand not only our strong points but possible vulnerabilities.”

Areas of Application of a Drone Security System
Sensitive Sites (industrial, state/government or private)
With Elistair’s drone security system, you can easily monitor sizable sensitive areas, addressing concerns such as dangerous manoeuvres or illegal intrusions.
In situations involving potentially hazardous activities or manoeuvres, such as the transport of heavy loads or the handling of hazardous or toxic materials, autonomous security drones can play a crucial role. They provide real-time data and imagery, allowing security teams to evaluate the situation without exposing themselves to potential risks.
Drone security systems are also particularly valuable in preventing and addressing illegal intrusions into restricted areas. This can include unauthorised access to critical infrastructure sites, such as nuclear facilities or other secure zones, prone to illegal intrusions.
Equipped with advanced surveillance capabilities, security drones can autonomously patrol and monitor these areas. They use sensors and cameras to detect and identify any unauthorised individuals entering restricted zones, providing real-time alerts and actionable intelligence.

FAQ
What is a drone security system, and how does it differ from traditional security measures?
A drone security system employs unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with advanced cameras, sensors, and other detection capabilities to effectively monitor and protect sensitive sites. Distinguishing itself from traditional security measures like CCTV cameras or manned patrols, this system harnesses the advantage of aerial surveillance, offering enhanced visibility and coverage over expansive areas.
With Elistair’s innovative drone technology, the capabilities extend up to 6 miles, providing comprehensive security solutions for various environments and applications.These systems, leveraging advanced sensors and high-resolution cameras, contribute to comprehensive situational awareness, allowing for strategic decision-making in dynamic and challenging environments. By utilizing state-of-the-art drone technology, these unmanned systems play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and precision of military operations, ensuring a heightened level of security and adaptability on the field.
What features should I look for when implementing a drone surveillance system for a sensitive site?
When implementing a drone security system, important features to consider include:
- high-resolution cameras to capture clear imagery and provide enhanced situational awareness.
- autonomous flight capabilities for efficient patrolling.
- obstacle avoidance technology to safely navigate complex environments.
- integration with existing security infrastructure to ensure seamless operation.
What are the regulations and legal requirements concerning the use of security drones?
Stringent aviation regulations dictate that security teams must undergo training to become certified remote pilots for drone operation. Alternatively, outsourcing drone services to specialised companies is an option. For the latest legislation, it is advisable to refer to the FAA website to stay well-informed on regulatory updates.
What are the potential cost savings and return on investment (ROI) associated with implementing a drone security system for sensitive sites?
Implementing a drone security system can lead to significant cost savings by reducing the need for manned patrols, minimising losses from security breaches, and improving overall security effectiveness. The ROI of a drone security system depends on factors such as the size of the site, the level of security required, and the frequency of security incidents.
Can Elistair’s drone security systems provide security teams with real-time alerts and actionable intelligence in the event of a security breach?
Yes, drone security systems are designed to deliver real-time alerts and actionable intelligence to security personnel through instant notifications, live video streaming, and automated drone alarm systems. This enables security teams to respond promptly and effectively mitigate potential threats in the event of a security breach.
