How do you detect a drone?

To detect drones effectively, you need a layered drone detection solution that includes RF detection, drone radar, optical technology (thermal cameras) and leading-edge software to tie every system together. Drones are detected by preferably using a combination of these drone detection methods.

Can drones fly over your house?

Can a Drone Fly Over My House? Yes, in a lot of scenarios. In this instance, refer directly to the CAA and the Drone Code. If you feel they are not flying legally, contact the pilot for more information.

Drones vary widely in size and ability.

With a wingspan of 66 feet and a top altitude of nearly 50,000 feet, these workhorses can stay aloft for almost 30 hours. One of law enforcement's favorite drones is the Insitu ScanEagle, an inexpensive craft with a 10-foot wingspan and flight time of 24 hours.

Do drones sound like helicopters?

Drones also make higher pitched buzzing sounds than helicopters, which have much lower frequencies because their larger rotors don't need to spin as fast to generate the necessary power.
