Drone surveillance is transforming security by providing unmatched coverage, real-time threat tracking, and cost-effective solutions for large outdoor spaces.
As traditional security measures struggle to keep up with evolving threats, businesses are turning to drone technology to enhance protection and streamline monitoring.
We all enjoy a good outdoor activity now and then, but perhaps no one gets more from the great outdoors than the modern-day criminal. Theft, trespassing, and vandalism are all on the rise in the United States and a surprisingly high number of these offenses happen outside, in parking lots, utility fields, car dealerships, and on construction sites. Consider some of these numbers:
As the footprints for outdoor facilities expand and perimeters grow ever wider, traditional surveillance methods like manned security and static camera systems are proving more and more inadequate.
To address these evolving security challenges, many site owners and managers are putting their faith in drone security systems, and the investment has paid off, and here are five key reasons why:
1. Drones Provide Unprecedented Coverage
Parking lots, car dealerships, and other large perimeter areas have multiple entry and exit points and a slew of areas where bad actors can hide and avoid detection. A camera system may spot intruders on the premises, but can’t do much once they are out of camera range. A drone can monitor vast and hard-to-reach areas where traditional cameras fall short. It also allows its pilots to follow a trespasser and, when necessary, take action, all in real-time.
2. Drones Protect People as Well as Property
Outdoor areas—particularly parking lots and car dealerships—have many hiding areas where criminals can lie in wait for unsuspecting customers, shoppers, or staff members. They may also use these spots to avoid detection from on-site security officers or patrol units. Drone surveillance allows you to canvas every nook and cranny of your space. And, most important of all, they allow monitoring agents to assess potentially dangerous situations from a safe distance, keeping personnel out of harm's way.
3. Drone Surveillance Integrates Easily With Existing Security Systems
While Drones are a valuable component to your security plan, they should ideally work in tandem with other surveillance measures to detect and respond to threats effectively. Fortunately, drones can seamlessly integrate with existing live, remote monitoring systems and other solutions provided by professional security agencies such as Titan. This allows you to combine the latest drone systems with the cutting-edge technology of your existing security provider.
4. Drone Surveillance is Affordable
It’s simple math. The larger your property is, the more cameras or on-site security guards you’ll need to cover the space. Drone security solutions ensure a high level of protection at a fraction of the cost. Consider that the monthly security spend on guards for a large outdoor property can easily exceed $15,000 whereas drone surveillance is roughly $5,000.
5. Expanding the Role of Drone Surveillance Beyond Security
There are multiple missions drones can be used for beyond guarding your property from criminal activity. Some providers, like Titan, offer drone services as a management tool for site mapping, project monitoring, structural inspections, safety control, and more.
