Drone Detection
Early warning is everything
Most drone incidents are over in minutes. A paparazzi drone over a villa, an unauthorised camera above a stage, or a drone circling a sensitive site — by the time someone spots it by eye, the footage has already been taken.
Our detection systems pick up drones and their controllers the moment they power on, alert your team in real time, and show where the threat is — whether you need a discreet portable unit for an event or always-on coverage for a permanent site.
- Real-time alerts the moment a drone powers on
- Detection ranges of 10 km or more on our fixed and all-scenario units (conditions dependent)
- 360° coverage for estates, venues and facilities
- Portable, fixed and vehicle-mounted options
- Visual confirmation with EO / thermal cameras
From signal to alert in seconds
Layered detection catches drones early and confirms them before your team acts.
Scan
RF detectors continuously scan the frequency bands drones and controllers use — from 70 MHz up to 6 GHz on our fixed units.
Detect
As soon as a drone or controller transmits, the system recognises the signal and raises an alert.
Locate
Positioning shows where the drone is and where it is heading — and, with our all-scenario unit, where the pilot is.
Confirm
Electro-optical and thermal cameras lock on to verify the target visually, day or night.
Detection built around your site
Real-Time Alerts
Instant alarms to your security team, including alerts pushed to multiple mobile devices on our all-scenario unit.
Full-Band RF Scanning
Wide-spectrum scanning picks up consumer, commercial, FPV and DIY drones.
360° Coverage
Complete overhead awareness for estates, hotels, venues and facilities.
Passive & Discreet
RF detection listens rather than transmits, so it runs quietly without drawing attention.
Portable or Permanent
Carry it in a backpack for an event, mount it on a vehicle, or install it for 24/7 site coverage.
FPV Video Capture
See the live video feed from FPV drones — useful for assessing intent and gathering evidence.
Equipment for drone detection
Our most requested models for this capability — many more configurations available.
Common questions
It depends on how often you face drone activity. Permanent sites such as hotels, estates and facilities benefit from always-on fixed detection. Events, VIP visits and occasional concerns are usually well served by a portable unit.
Our fixed RF detector and all-scenario unit are rated for 10 km or more for mainstream drones. Real-world range depends on terrain, buildings and the radio environment, so we assess your site before recommending a setup.
No. RF detection is passive — it listens for drone signals and does not transmit or jam.
Yes. Our detectors scan for analog FPV video links as well as mainstream drone protocols, and our all-scenario unit identifies FPV racing and DIY drones.
Many more equipment configurations available
The five products on this site are our most requested. We also supply a much wider range of detection, tracking and response equipment — in different ranges, frequency bands and mounting options — and can put together a configuration for your exact site or operation.
