Security Drones with Facial Recognition

Our pilots fly for you. Security drones give you live aerial coverage of any site and can follow and track suspects in support of armed response teams. They cover ground that guards and vehicles can't, in minutes, day or night.

  • Armed-response follow and track
  • Live aerial surveillance
  • Large-site and perimeter patrol
  • Operated by our licensed pilots
  • Integrated facial recognition

Scanning

A scripted demonstration of the recognition pipeline. There is nothing to upload and the camera is never used.

Product 02

Facial Recognition Technology

Our recognition technology identifies faces, expressions, vehicle colours and number plates, and matches them against most-wanted lists and your own watchlists. Deploy it across a company, a complex, a mall, a suburb, or on body cams worn by your people.

  • Face and expression recognition
  • Vehicle colour and number plate recognition
  • Most-wanted and watchlist matching
  • Works on sites, areas and body cams
