The challenge
Security teams are increasingly using drones to monitor large sites, support patrols, and respond to incidents in real-time. These operations often take place in complex, high-pressure environments such as industrial facilities, event venues, transport hubs, prisons, and sensitive sites.
Common challenges include:
- Limited visibility across large or obstructed areas.
- Rapidly changing conditions during live incidents.
- Short-notice deployments with little time for paperwork.
- Operating in controlled or urban airspace.
- Inconsistent planning and documentation between teams.
- Difficulty maintaining accurate flight records for incident reporting.
- Post-incident reviews relying on incomplete or fragmented data.
Without a structured operational framework, drone deployments can become reactive, difficult to govern, and hard to justify after the fact.
The solution
Heliguy.io provides a repeatable, compliance-focused workflow that supports security drone operations before, during, and after deployment.
- Quickly prepare compliant, site-specific missions — even during time-critical situations — thanks to rapid RAMS creation.
- Maintain awareness of restrictions and changing conditions around secure or urban locations with live airspace and environmental alerts.
- Utilise standardised security operation templates to apply consistent workflows for patrols, perimeter checks, and incident response. This is particularly ideal for repeated security operations.
- Automatic DJI log retrieval enables teams to capture every flight automatically for incident review, accountability, governance, and reporting.
- Centralise mission records: Store flight logs, notes, and operational details in one secure, organised system.
Results
Security teams using heliguy.io gain stronger operational control, clearer accountability, and improved oversight across all drone deployments.
Heliguy.io enables teams to:
- Improve situational awareness: Structured planning and repeatable workflows unlock better coverage of large or sensitive sites.
- Respond confidently under pressure: Fast mission setup and live updates help teams deploy drones safely during dynamic incidents.
- Strengthen accountability and governance: Automatically-captured logs provide a complete, traceable record of every deployment.
- Reduce operational and compliance risk: Consistent workflows support safer flights in complex or restricted environments.
- Enhance post-incident review and reporting: Clear mission histories make debriefs, audits, and stakeholder reporting straightforward.
“Security operations demand accountability and consistency. Heliguy.io ensures every drone deployment is planned, logged, and traceable, providing a reliable record for incident review and operational oversight.”— Matthew Cairns, heliguy™ public safety account manager
