It’s 3 a.m. in a logistics park of more than 100,000 square meters. A guard finishes the third round of the night: a twenty-minute route that covers only part of the perimeter, because the rest is simply too far away to check often.
Right in the gap between two shifts, someone cuts the fence near the unloading area and loads goods into a van.
The fixed cameras catch it, but only the next day, when someone looks at the recordings. Nobody stepped in in time, because nobody saw it in time.
Why fixed cameras and human guards leave gaps on large perimeters
A fixed camera answers the question “what happened here?”, for a single, fixed area.
A guard can only be in one place at a time. The gap between two shifts is exactly the window a determined intruder exploits.
On perimeters of hundreds of thousands of square meters, this kind of gap is not an exception. It is a statistical certainty.
What an automated drone patrol looks like
A drone launched automatically from a station installed at the client’s site flies programmed routes along the perimeter fence, the access points and the parking areas, especially outside working hours.
The combination of visual and thermal imaging gives full visibility at night as well. Any anomaly reaches the DroneFlight control room instantly, not the next day during a routine check.
Proof, not just a promise
The GAM case study, DroneFlight’s first public commercial deployment in Romania, shows measurable results after six months of operation:
- a 68% reduction in intrusion incidents;
- a written SLA, with uptime above 95%;
- a response time under 15 minutes.
References from DroneFlight’s operations in the Netherlands confirm the same pattern over the long term, in similar perimeter security deployments.
What the Core package includes
In the Core package, the flight frequency and schedule are agreed directly with the client. It includes live streaming to the client’s own control room, where there is one, and standardized reports after every mission.
We don’t replace the guards. We give them permanent eyes where, until now, they had darkness.
