Site Security: When Guards and Cameras Aren't Enough
Site security leaders are under pressure. Guards can’t be everywhere. Cameras miss too much. And 94% of alarms are false. Remotely piloted drones from Skydio deliver instant eyes on the scene—cutting false alarms, closing blind spots, and helping your team respond faster and safer across large, complex sites.
In this demo, see an autonomous alarm response in action: IDS alert → drone launches from dock → flies to the alert location → live video streams to your GSOC → remote response → alert cleared.
Leading organizations are implementing persistent drone coverage around critical assets today for better deterrence, faster verification, fewer guard rolls, and audit-ready video.
See how persistent drone coverage helps organizations:
- Cut false alarms: confirm alerts remotely, keep staff focused only on real threats.
- Respond faster: reach any alert in seconds with live video streamed to your teams.
- Expand coverage: patrol multiple large sites at once, day or night, without adding staff.
- Protect people and property: act decisively with real-time situational awareness.
- Reduce costs: replace slow, repetitive foot patrols with fast, automated operations that scale.
This session is for security and operations leaders ready to modernize protection across complex sites.
- Today's live demo is focused on commercial site security.
- We're showing how teams can get more coverage and faster verification
- without scaling their headcount.
- And before we begin, I have a quick question for all of you.
- What do you wanna see today? Um,
- today's live, we have a lot of flexibility,
- and we wanna address your specific
- interests and questions. So please put any questions
- that you do have in the
- chat, and we'll answer them throughout today's
- session and at the end during Q&A.
- So let's get started. Um,
- we've had over seventy-five conversations over the last six-ish months
- with commercial security leaders responsible for large
- venues, data centers, and corporate campuses, et cetera.
- And three themes come up time and time again.
- The first is that guard programs cost more each year while results
- flatten.
- Second, uh, fixed cameras and foot patrols cr-
- are creating inconsistent
- coverage, so gaps persist. And third, alarms
- are overwhelmingly false, somewhere between ninety-four
- and ninety-eight percent of
- them actually, which consumes a lot of time and budget.
- So our conclusion is the, the problem isn't effort, it's
- scalability and it's signal quality.
- So I think the question we're all asking or we're all here to ask today
- is: how do we increase our coverage and reduce our noise
- without spending more money?
- So, uh,
- to reiterate, risk and coverage requirements are, are rising,
- but most
- budgets and headcounts are not. So leaders we're speaking with
- feel like they've hit the ceiling on what static tools can deliver.
- Um, requirements are, are really just shifting towards always-on
- adaptive coverage, proactive deterrence, and
- again, higher signal-to-noise ratio so your teams
- can stay focused
- on the real threats.
- And what's the answer to this
- equation?
- We think it's autonomous drones that live in docks at the sites
- that you're
- responsible for, and they're deployed as an always-on
- system.
- And to be clear, it-- the point isn't about the drone itself,
- it's
- the capability that drone gives you.
- You get mobile coverage, rapid verification without adding more
- headcount.
- And it only works because we deliver it end to end.
- We provide the drone, the dock, remote operation software, plus
- services and integration. So your team isn't stitching together
- five or six different vendors to make this program a reality.
- And the-- what we're seeing is this is becoming the new standard in site
- security
- because it maps to three daily security workflows, which is
- patrolling, deterring, and responding.
- So for patrol,
- you can schedule autonomous missions day or night, rain or shine, and you
- can automate those missions to be randomized routes or randomized timing,
- so it's unpredictable to bad actors.
- Um, on deterrence,
- if something looks wrong, you can put a visible presence overhead,
- and our drones can be equipped with a spotlight and a speaker.
- And effectively, this is how you're able to stop crime before it
- even
- starts.
- And on response, when an alarm triggers, the drone is
- airborne in seconds. It can fly forty-five miles an hour,
- and it
- puts eyes on scene really, really quickly.
- It also can plug into your IDS and VMS workflows and
- ultimately lets you clear alarms really fast without having to get out
- of your chair in most cases.
- Um,
- and, uh, above all else, this is designed for remote operations,
- so it's coverage
- from anywhere.
- A little bit about what you'll see today.
- So we're gonna launch a mission, we're gonna run patrol coverage,
- monitor multiple locations, and detect things that matter,
- like people or vehicles where they're not supposed to be.
- And then we're gonna act through verification, deterrence or
- escalation. And we're doing this remotely.
- I'm in Minneapolis, Lee is in Seattle, and we're operating at
- live sites in Fort Collins, Colorado today and San Mateo,
- California.
- So we're thousands of miles away from what we'll be looking at, and that distance
- is the point.
- A quick note, it's the, the solution isn't theoretical.
- It's proven at scale today across law enforcement
- agencies, critical infrastructure companies like
- electric
- utilities and in the defense sector.
- Um, in the US, that, that includes over a thousand public
- safety
- agencies, nine hundred critical infrastructure
- organizations,
- and we're deployed across every blan- branch of the military
- plus, uh, with allied forces globally.
- Excuse me.
- So overall, we have thirty-five hundred customers in,
- in the industries that keep
- our society running,
- and they've flown two point eight million times.
- That-- We're averaging about sixty-five flights
- an hour, which is roughly one a
- minute. And
- ultimately, the point here is that utilization only happens
- when the system is
- dependable in real operations. This is real. It's being used today.
- And I wanna touch on the economics really quick.
- So
- one DockHive, which is three Dock drones running
- twenty-four/seven, will deliver roughly the security hours
- equivalent of fifteen full-time guards.
- This is powerful. That equivalency comes from two buckets
- that we
- see at most sites. It's routine patrol coverage and false
- alarm checks.
- So with a hundred percent of your routine patrols handled autonomously with a
- drone that, again, goes forty-five miles an hour,
- and being able to clear ninety-four percent of those false alarms
- without dispatching anyone,
- your teams get their time back for real issues.
- And as sites scale, the economics scale too.
- You're scaling coverage without scaling headcount.
- Um, oops.
- So with that, we're gonna get into the live demo.
- Uh, I'm gonna pass it over to Lee. Before we do, I'd encourage you to
- pull up your phone out or click the link in the comment, um,
- comment section. This is a, uh, what we call a Ready link, and it's
- a way to remotely view the drone's POV in
- ultra-high quality in real time. We'll get into why this is
- helpful in a little bit. Uh, Lee, take it away.
- Sure thing. Thank you, Tommy. Yep. Hopefully, everyone's scanning that code.
- If not, we'll give you another opportunity to scan
- them as well throughout
- this. But I'm gonna share my screen now.
- And, um, as I'm doing that, I do wanna say thanks for
- dropping in questions already. We're gonna try to, um, look them over,
- and I'm gonna weave those in. Totally encourage you to ask more
- questions
- throughout. We do wanna make this interactive.
- It's, uh, kind of more fun with me when I don't have to follow a script,
- uh, which, which makes that great. So Tommy, can you see everything?
- I can.
- All right. As noted, I am out in Seattle, but I'm gonna take you to two sites
- today. So, um, right now I'm looking at a facility that
- we do testing in, in Fort Collins, and you can kind of see the facility
- map there, some things about it. This is Skydio Remote Ops.
- The fleet page is where you usually land into the product.
- This is where you can see where your docks are at, what's happening.
- Um, our flight deck is the experience where you fly from,
- which we'll get into
- a lot today. Um, but where I wanna start out
- is actually in our
- missions.
- And we talked about patrol and doing routine.
- You can build all types of missions.
- Um, we're not gonna build one on the fly
- today, but the great thing is once you
- build a mes- mission, they're repeatable and schedule-
- schedulable.
- You can do that through a traditional like waypoint.
- You can actually fly your mission live, which is really great for security use
- cases, 'cause that way you can set up your shots
- and what you cam-- uh, and what
- you capture to capture those dead spaces that you may have today.
- And you can also do it from a map file as well.
- So for this one, I'm gonna do just a really simple mission.
- There's a solar field here, and it does have some gates,
- so we're gonna go do some
- gate checks on this solar field. And this will just give you a feel
- for what's capable with the system.
- This is only gonna be a few, what we call waypoints or, or picture
- locations. Um, generally these are-- we can build these pretty complex.
- They run for twenty, thirty minutes, the life of, you know, the mission time of
- your drone as well.
- So a few things are happening here. I just went into the mission.
- It's loading up in the system. You're gonna see the view here of
- the complex and then ready to launch.
- Real quick, I wanna call out, this facility that we use is actually an
- airport, lightly used, um, but we've built in some safety
- features with our geo fences that I wanna call out.
- And you do the same-- and we do help you map the same thing with
- your facility.
- Where can you fly? What do you wanna stay away from?
- Green keeps you inside that, orange keeps you out.
- And then we've even built some pretty... These are three-dimensional.
- We've built some pretty sophisticated stuff, which we'll see in a second here,
- is I
- can actually go in, and we'll be flying a tunnel underneath
- the runway.
- We know this is the safe operating area, so that's how we're gonna fly our points
- to. [lip smack] And then you can see points on
- the map where we'll be flying.
- With that, it's a windy day. We're actually on the edge of our
- operating. We can operate in up to about thirty miles
- of-- hour of
- consistent winds and a little higher in gusts.
- Uh, you'll kind of maybe see some wind
- warnings today.
- Uh, this facility was getting, um, gusts nearing thirty just a little about
- ago,
- but it looks like the wind's actually calmed down, and we're doing pretty good.
- So as you can see, my hands right now, I'll put them up here, off the keys.
- So this is the autonomy part. Generally, we're flying this, um,
- you know, ad hoc and sending it now, but you could schedule this to run in the
- morning and afternoon. Like let's say crews were leaving,
- you know, you just wanna
- make sure they closed all the gates.
- And, um, we don't obviously own this solar field,
- but I have found the gates
- open a time or two.
- Tom, anything you wanna talk about there?
- Uh, no. So far so good. I think what's important here so far
- is, is these geo fences. That really makes sure that
- whenever you fly, you are flying compliant with FAA laws, and
- it makes it so there is just no risk in going--
- the drone going where it
- shouldn't be going.
- All right. So you can see it's coming to its first
- waypoint.
- It's gonna somewhat frame the picture, and then once it gets on-- it's a little
- windy, so once it gets on site, it'll take that picture
- of the gate. And if you're not seeing anything on the
- Ready link, please refresh
- it, or I just threw it back up on the screen
- as well. And then when we get back, we'll take a look at some of these
- pictures
- that we're taking now.
- Another thing to note, um, that we're doing with some customers.
- I did see a question about integrations.
- There's a bunch of integrations we'll talk about.
- There's one of what you wanna do with your data after it's captured.
- Um, there's some real-time integrations.
- So we are working with, um, customers who have third-party
- integrations to do real-time AI off of these.
- So they're taking the same feed basically that you're seeing from Ready
- links. They're running it through AI to identify
- people, vehicles,
- and other types of anomalies.
- So that's the integration piece, and I'll show a little bit more about
- that in a
- second. So now our mission's over. The drone is heading back.
- Do you wanna note on the map side? The drone has a capability we call
- Pathfinder,
- and this is smart mission routing.
- So it's taking a look at both the geo fences and if you're in kind of a,
- uh, area with buildings and it knows your area.
- It's gonna pick the smartest path back, and that works in
- conjunction
- with, um,
- Skydio's autonomy and obstacle avoidance.
- Hey, Lee, real quick-
- At a point there on just Pathfinder and, and all of the geo fencing
- and everything else
- Uh, for all of you who have complex sites, um, where you've
- got restricted air rules, or you've got, uh, urban canyons, or
- you've got buildings and things like that,
- and you don't necessarily want an expert pilot to
- be- always be on the sticks, this capability just gives you that,
- uh, easy way to set up those rules so the--
- every mission that you fly,
- the drone is doing the navigating.
- Uh, and it takes the cognitive load off of
- those operators, and it also
- ensures that you get the, the, the data or the insights that you need the
- quickest,
- whether that be taking a picture of a door or, uh, verifying an alarm,
- et cetera, et cetera.
- All right.
- Lee, I just had Genetec pulled up, and I'm seeing that one of our fence
- sensors
- is triggering. Do you see that in-
- Yeah.
- Um.
- This, this is a good segue to the next kind of
- piece we had.
- Talked about the integrations. So one of the things you could do
- is integrate into
- your alerting systems. So right now, I can see an alert just popped up.
- It's a fence alarm in zone five. All I simply have to do is click on
- that, and now, even though the drone was finishing up its mission,
- I'm just gonna
- re-task it to respond to that alarm.
- And now, as a pilot, um, and getting situational awareness is
- what's great, is while it's automatically flying,
- I can actually go in,
- and with a capability we call Free Look, I can get control of the gimbal.
- So now, instead of worrying about flying, I can just worry about getting eyes on
- the situation. And I know I'm getting close to
- that alarm, and I think I see what
- our, uh, alarm is sensing on right now.
- This also allows you to just give, let's say, for example, you're, you're in
- communication with responding teams.
- While the drone is flying, you're seeing what's happening in real
- time.
- You can be coordinating those individuals on the ground without having to have
- hands on the controls.
- All right. And since it's windy, it looks like our assailant has plastered
- their
- self up against the fence line today.
- So this is probably the cause of our, um, alarm.
- Uh, we like to have a little fun with these,
- so we stage out some mannequins.
- But if this were a real situation, this is the-- Like Matt just said,
- you'd be able to get eyes on the subject. You'd be taking live video.
- You can take pictures. You're able to communicate this situation
- and
- keep tabs on it, um, and take the applicable action.
- Um, I've actually seen these. You know, sometimes we'll be doing
- inspections. We've actually seen, um, people stealing copper [chuckles] while,
- uh,
- inspections were going on. So there's also some multi-use case
- aspects to
- this as well.
- Um-
- We, we did get a question about, uh, the, the types of cameras,
- Lee. Um, and I just wanted to let folks know,
- for those of you that are on the
- Ready Link, and, uh, Tommy, thanks for sharing that again.
- Um, you can actually toggle the thermal to see
- that in
- that view. So if you have that pulled up, down in the lower right screen of the
- Ready Link, you'll see a little, uh, ability to toggle thermal, and you can see
- that as well. And the beauty of this is,
- for those individuals who are watching what the drone is seeing, the
- pilot can have the heads-up display and see the, the live view, so to speak.
- But the responding officers or command staff, for example,
- can be viewing thermal,
- and it doesn't change what the pilot sees.
- So it gives you that optionality to be able to truly get as much situational
- awareness as possible.
- Great. Good questions. Keep the questions flowing.
- So when, uh, Matt and Tommy are watching them,
- we love to answer them in real time,
- or I can always kind of retrack task the drone to do some other stuff.
- So I do-- I'm gonna watch this come in for a
- landing.
- Always one of my favorite parts. We can switch to the dock cam.
- Make that nice and big.
- All right. Successful landing. Uh, one thing that's great here too is we have
- a customizable post-flight report.
- Um, this one is set up for some of our public
- safety things they'd wanna
- capture, like where the call is, event overwatch.
- But you can imagine in a, um, in a security use case,
- you wanna talk about patrol, nothing found, or the temp- the types
- of events you're looking to capture. So we can customize those for you as well.
- I'm just gonna exit out of this and get back into the-- I'm gonna
- exit the flight experience or flight deck, get back into,
- um, management here. So a few other things we wanna talk about.
- Um, the media side. It's gonna immediately download, um,
- from this mission.
- Uh, it's not up yet, but it'll just take a few seconds,
- but it starts.
- I did fly this this morning. Um, so just kind of a little
- teaser on that. Um,
- these are the images I got. I can scroll into that,
- and then I can really
- kind of punch in. I can clearly see that the gate is locked
- and everything is good there.
- Yeah. And folks, you can also, uh, a- as you plan your missions, you
- can,
- uh, get as close as necessary to get the kind
- of detail that you need and, and
- configure all those settings. So depending on what you're looking for,
- uh,
- it's easily configurable to capture the right data that you need.
- Yeah. I mean, you can really punch in on stuff.
- We have some folks that are actually capturing gauge readings with
- this.
- I just built a really simple grab it and go mission for this demo today.
- Um, another thing we do have is some reporting.
- I'm gonna show you that most of Skydio was off during the holidays 'cause
- we were not flying the site. Um, but this is a great way to just
- kind of get a picture of what you're, what you're doing.
- And then the one I like, and just to show you another piece, is,
- um,
- we do know some folks in the security side use some Axon cameras.
- We have a native integration with Axon, so you can see that all
- my data here goes to Axon Evidence as soon as it's done.
- And then that way, you get it off of our system,
- and you can follow your retention
- policies from Axon Evidence. That said, we also have
- integrations with Genetec, uh,
- couple of New World. There's a few others that we have.
- We have, like, 20 to 25 kind of out-of-the-box
- integrations, and then we can also have an open API
- structure that
- makes it really easy to import things like alarms or kick these out
- to any of the tools that you use today.
- And just to chime in, what that means at our customer sites
- is they're-
- Integrating this feed directly into their, their GSOC.
- And then when they're using the AI detection models,
- it can even go as far as these
- AI models are looking for things like open doors.
- When one is found, it can send an email out
- or a text message out or
- send an alert, um, and notify the appropriate people.
- So it's just taking the man-hours out of the equation.
- Great. All right. So now I just pulled up our
- other site, and this is now taking you out to San Mateo,
- California.
- Um, enter here in our flight deck map, because this is
- generally where we see most of our folks works, work.
- It gives you a-an idea of where your drones are at.
- In this location, we have two docks ready to go.
- And then I've seeded this with a few alarms that we're gonna look at today.
- The one I wanna focus on first is a suspicious person in the parking
- garage.
- This is super common with our, um, security customers.
- I have a few stories of, um, not just suspicious people,
- but I heard one, a customer the other day
- was talking about how they were having an
- ice person fell on top of their parking garage, and they were able to,
- um,
- respond, figure out someone fell, and then get the appropriate,
- uh, medical attention for that person.
- So these things don't just always catch bad guys.
- They can just help the, the normal everyday things that happen.
- So now-
- And Lee, where are we, where are we at now? Where are we flying?
- Uh, we're in San Mateo.
- Okay.
- So this is, this is the Skydio corporate headquarters,
- our demo
- playground a little bit. As you can see, I'm gonna kind of
- pivot around this system, play with that map.
- You can see Pathfinders actually work again here.
- It's taking it around some geo fences that we set for this area.
- I'm gonna close this panel up to give everyone a little better view
- and move this
- map over.
- So once again, I'm able to, if this were a call and we had that suspicious
- activity in the parking garage, first thing I'm gonna wanna do
- is kind of clear
- out this area. And you can kind of tell pretty easily
- that,
- one, we have a lot of docks here because this
- is where we test a lot of our
- equipment, and usually these are running, uh, nearly twenty-four/seven a day.
- I'm not seeing any activity up here.
- Um, so one of the great things about Skydio
- is, um,
- a lot of y'all have flown drones in the past.
- You know that it's pretty scary to go down low.
- But with Skydio obstacle avoidance on,
- the drone has some navigation cameras on it that kind of build a bubble
- around it, so it can operate in some pretty hairy
- areas.
- And really the benefit of that, it's not just cool tech, the benefit
- is you can
- kind of go to places where others can't.
- So I'm gonna show that example by going down this parking
- garage.
- And now this is a great opportunity to see. It's dark.
- I can't see anything, but we can kind of turn day into night by
- switching to
- that thermal camera. Ooh, this is a different Ready
- link, so let me pull this up real quick.
- Give you another shot to open up a camera, take a picture of this,
- and then that way you can toggle between that map
- and, um,
- the map view, the thermal view, or the live camera view.
- And the link's also in the chat, folks.
- There's a couple of flights on there, but just grab the one with Lee.
- You'll be able to follow along for today.
- Uh, if you wanna-
- Oh, yeah. I think I opened that up to everyone, so.
- Now what I'm gonna do is go off of here.
- One cool thing, I'm gonna just show you the capabilities
- of that obstacle
- avoidance. We talk about deterrence, right? Um, Tommy mentioned that.
- We now have a number of cases, especially in our public safety side,
- where we see
- people surrendering to a drone. In this case, if you probably
- dropped down a drone and you did find this person there,
- they know something's up.
- They're either gonna leave or get out of this area.
- I'm just gonna go one step-- Whoop.
- I was gonna say, I'm gonna go one step further today
- and down, down
- into this area.
- Lee, can I chime in here quick?
- Go for it.
- So I wanna, I wanna point out a couple of things.
- So number one, we, we had eyes on scene
- within
- a minute. That, that's longer than it would take the
- security guard to come sit up from his desk, get in the car and just start the
- car. We're already there. We already have visibility, much less
- that guard
- is-- It's gonna take him several minutes to get
- up to this fifth floor of
- the parking garage.
- Another thing is, this is an environment where a lot of other
- drones would struggle
- to fly. It's
- GPS denied, and there's a lot of things
- that you could run
- into or things that could go wrong.
- But our intelligence means that you don't need extra expert pilots.
- So with our obstacle avoidance, which even works in the dark,
- makes flights like this possible for just about anybody.
- You don't have to be an expert pir-pilot, and you don't have to worry about your
- drone, um, losing connection or running into obstacles
- in environments like this.
- Yeah. Great call outs, Tommy. So that's just another place where we,
- we clear this, we
- take advantage of the obstacle avoidance and the GPS denied environment.
- Um, surprisingly, I am getting a little bit of a GPS signal
- in here, which is rare.
- Uh, so we must, must be getting a perfect angle right now.
- But what Skydio does do, if the GPS is completely denied, is it builds
- a visual picture of the environment, so you're alw-always able to navigate
- successfully in these tight spaces.
- All right, I'm gonna get out of here, and we're kind of done with, um,
- most of our
- scenarios today. But I do just wanna
- call out a few features that help our customers do things like
- gaining situational awareness and just to kind of give you a preview of
- some of the, um, interesting things that's coming along
- with kind of AI
- detections as well. So first thing, first things first, I'm gonna get up a
- little higher.
- And, um, if you're at a large facility, one thing that I see all
- the time is no matter how much you drive something or where you're at, you can get
- disoriented. So we have these nice AR overlays, uh,
- especially Gives you street names, addresses,
- punch in lots of good data there. And it's easy just to toggle
- those on with a click of a key.
- Uh, another,
- another thing that actually is releasing to all of our customers,
- um,
- next week, so you're gonna get a good preview of
- this, um, is starting
- to build the, the foundation of our detection systems as
- well.
- We call it Skydio Shadow, and it's gonna allow you to both track
- and follow people, and I'll kind of show that.
- Um, either people or vehicles. So right now, our model
- is specifically built for
- people or vehicles. I'm gonna grab a car,
- and now it's visually tracking.
- So what I'm gonna do now is hit follow, and if you check out the map,
- you can see it's got the car, and the drone's gonna follow it as much as
- it can.
- And this is pretty cool. It's tracking it and kind of using some
- smart AI detection
- to even guess where that car is gonna go.
- So you saw it reacquire it after it got a couple-- passed through a
- couple trees, couple blind spots.
- Um, so that, that's pretty cool.
- And then-
- One, one thing to, to add just in-- when you, when you've got this lock on,
- especially if you're dealing with a,
- a vehicle in a keep-out area, or maybe there's a deterrence and a, a
- person gets into a vehicle, and you need to be able to capture a
- license plate view.
- The drone can be locked on that vehicle as that vehicle's moving
- away, and you
- could be zooming in and capturing the license plate,
- whether you want to be doing
- it, some sort of an acti- after action, uh, report
- and/or sharing with local authorities. Uh, it makes it super easy to do that.
- Again, so you don't have to focus on the flying.
- Uh, you can, uh, stay focused on the mission and, and, uh,
- and resolving it. So-
- Yeah.
- On top of that, r-real quick, I think one thing to point out too
- is our drones are
- 5G connected as well as radio. So your only limitation with
- range is battery time, as long as you have 5G
- service. So you could follow for a long time.
- Um, I also want to point out, like, if we were actually in a,
- a real security situation here and found a,
- an intruder or, you know, a s- person of interest.
- I'm in Minneapolis, Lee's in Seattle.
- We're not familiar with the streets in San Mateo.
- How do we report to the authorities where this is taking place?
- Easy. You flip on that overlay, and you can say, "Oh, at the
- intersection of Gl-Glendora and Campus Drive," rather than
- being like, "Well, there's the highway," vice ver-- you know,
- et cetera.
- This is really important when you're doing twenty-four/seven night
- operations,
- uh, because it's really easy to get
- disoriented, not know where you're at in the
- dark. Um, it's hard to see city streets and, and,
- uh, and identifying
- objects. Um, so those AR overlays make it, uh, incredibly useful,
- uh, when you're trying to guide individuals,
- uh, to different streets or different
- points of interest, et cetera,
- in those conditions.
- Yeah, and what's great is y- this-- and, and I think as Matt mentioned, this kind
- of works over the zoom, so you can keep eyes on it.
- The thing I find I've really liked about this feature of using it is, um, I've
- been flying for years. I'm an okay pilot, but I'm not a great pilot.
- This will keep you centered and on task. Like, my hands are off the keys right now.
- We're watching that gentleman go.
- He's perfectly centered, uh, which just really helps when you are,
- you know, in more of a, a... You know, this isn't a high-risk situation by
- any means. But when you're in a more tense situation,
- you want to keep that person
- centered and then give the folks that are watching this the best view.
- Um, this tool's gonna be super valuable for
- that.
- Oftentimes, a lot of operators have to, to communicate while
- operating the drone, and that involves radios or other, uh,
- mediums to be able
- to get the message out. Uh, so having the lock, uh,
- also makes that easier to be able to get on the radio, communicate in real time,
- and not have to worry about flying,
- uh, the drone.
- You are correct there. All right. So
- this is a great time. If anyone wants to, you know, be brave, take themselves off
- of mute, ask us questions live, we'd love to hear from you.
- We did set this up to be conversational.
- Um, I'm just gonna fly, fly around for a couple more seconds.
- Uh,
- see if there's anything else we need to show off today.
- Oh, there is one more feature that I find kind of interesting.
- Um, let's say you've located... Let's look around here.
- We're gonna look over on this football field here 'cause there's usually some
- action going on.
- And, well, maybe one person out today. So let's see where we're at.
- Let's say you're in a situation where maybe you detected someone.
- Let's say this guy is running,
- and he's not supposed to be there, although he's definitely allowed to be
- there. One thing you can do is hit this button K.
- And now you'll notice on the map over here, this little blue marker showed
- up. And what that allows you to do is if you were following a suspect or you
- thought something was dropped or there's a place of interest,
- this gives you a
- reference point to go find it. I can go in there and edit it, and I
- could say like, you know, "Dropped bag."
- So maybe it was somebody stealing something. We thought they hid it.
- So now I have a reference point that I can go back to and find that.
- So it's just an easy way to keep your eyes on the situation and yet
- mark what is happening. And the second thing was I
- was able to use Shadow.
- So the whole time while I was typing that in, I m- I s- maintained that
- lock on the person. I didn't have to worry about losing them.
- So just great features to have in place there.
- Close that back up.
- And Jim's got an interesting question just as it relates to indoor DFR.
- Uh, is anybody doing it today, et cetera.
- Um, and Jim, just to answer that, um,
- currently, we have our R10 drone that works directly with our DFR command
- and does,
- uh, we're doing indoor DFR today with select
- PDs.
- Uh, R10 is, is, uh, very quickly coming out, uh, very
- soon. Uh, but in terms of the indoor DFR, uh, the
- ConOp, typically the way it works is we put these in patrol cars
- and, uh, the responding officers, when they need to clear a room or get
- eyes indoors, will launch that. And then that particular drone is
- commandeered using the same software that you see right here.
- And the remote pilot from wherever your, uh, central operations would be, would
- take over that drone and be able to clear the room
- while the responding
- officer goes back to servicing the call.
- It's a similar, uh, ConOp that you can put, uh,
- for private security,
- uh, there at Exxon. So if you've got a building,
- you need to get a drone inside.
- If you have a person on the ground who has the R10 that can launch it, you can
- commandeer it and get it indoors and get eyes on scene without putting any
- officers or responding individuals in harm's way
