المزايا

Continuous Aerial Coverage Your Ground Teams Cannot Match

Autonomous patrols, lower exposure for ground teams, AI safety alerts, and real-time thermal awareness from a GACA-certified drone team.

Round-the-Clock Coverage Without Extra Headcount

Autonomous DJI Dock stations fly scheduled and alarm-triggered patrols on their own, so you extend perimeter coverage across every shift without adding guards, vehicles, or night rotations.

See What Your Cameras Miss After Dark

Radiometric thermal paired with high-zoom optical picks out human and vehicle heat signatures along unlit fence lines, and streams both views live to your operations centre.

Aerial Eyes on Scene Before Your Team Arrives

On a security, fire, or medical trigger the nearest aircraft launches automatically, giving incident commanders a live overhead picture while ground crews are still mobilising.

Keep Your People Out of Harm's Way

Patrols cover high-risk zones, live process areas, and remote fence lines from the air, so your team verifies a threat from a screen rather than walking into it on foot.

Catch Safety Violations While They Are Still Fixable

AI review of every patrol flags missing PPE, entry into restricted zones, blocked exits, and unsafe crowd build-up, turning safety from a periodic spot audit into a continuous check.

Your Footage Never Leaves Your Network

Detection runs offline on hardware inside your own network, so video, faces, and incident data stay on site: the deployment model defence, utility, and government buyers ask for.

Turn the Cameras You Already Own Into Detectors

The same detection engine runs on installed CCTV, RTSP feeds, and recorded video, not only on drone cameras, so cameras bought years ago start raising alerts alongside the fleet.

Operators Watch Alerts, Not Hours of Empty Video

Automatic detection and counting of people, vehicles, and crowd density surfaces only the frames that matter, so one operator covers more cameras and more flight hours than before.

Every Incident Leaves an Auditable Trail

Encrypted video, GPS-tagged detections, and dispatch timings are archived and tracked through a governed case workflow, giving managers defensible evidence for investigations and audits.

تحديات

Where Ground-Only Patrols and Fixed Cameras Fall Short

Ground patrols and fixed CCTV leave blind spots across long site borders, weak night visibility, and slow response to remote alerts.

Long Site Boundaries Outrun Ground Patrols

Refinery footprints, mega-construction sites, and utility corridors run for kilometres, and a fixed number of patrol vehicles cannot hold continuous watch over all of it.

Remote Alerts Wait for Someone to Drive There

A sensor trip at the far fence line is only a guess until a person reaches it, and the drive across a large site delays every decision that follows the alert.

Darkness and Dust Hide What Cameras Should Catch

Fixed CCTV and the human eye lose reliability along unlit boundaries, and desert dust and haze reduce what a standard visual camera can resolve at range.

Round-the-Clock Guarding Costs Keep Climbing

Holding 24/7 patrol coverage over multi-kilometre boundaries means more headcount, more shift rotations, and a vehicle fleet that has to be fuelled and maintained.

Safety Violations Surface Only After the Incident

Missing PPE, blocked exits, and entry into restricted zones are usually recorded in a periodic walk-around, which means the gap is documented long after it opened.

Commanders Improvise Without a Live Overhead View

When systems are not connected, incident commanders coordinate a fire, spill, or breach from radio reports alone, with no shared aerial picture of what is actually happening.

أسئلة متكررة

A Drone-in-a-Box station such as DJI Dock 3 keeps the aircraft in a weather-sealed enclosure. Missions are planned and scheduled in DJI FlightHub 2, and the station launches, streams live video, lands, and recharges on its own with no pilot on site. Terra DFR connects the station to your alarm and dispatch systems so a patrol can also launch on an incident trigger, and Terra Stream analyses the feed as it arrives.
Yes. All commercial drone surveillance flights require civil aviation authorisation from the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) under GACAR Part 107, alongside security clearance for flights over a facility. Terra Drone Arabia holds active GACA credentials and manages every flight approval directly.
Yes. The Zenmuse H30T carries radiometric thermal alongside wide, long-range zoom and a laser rangefinder in one gimbal, so human and vehicle heat signatures stay visible in complete darkness and remain readable through dust and haze that defeat a standard visual camera. DJI Dock stations monitor local weather and are built for extreme desert conditions.
Live video is streamed over encrypted RTSP or a web dashboard into your SOC and video management system (VMS), so commanders watch aerial thermal and optical video beside their CCTV walls. Terra Stream layers detection and counting over that feed, and Terra DFR bridges the same integration in the other direction so a VMS or alarm event can dispatch a drone automatically.
It stays on site. Terra Stream runs inference locally on a workstation or GPU server inside your own network, so footage, face data, and detection results never have to leave it. Terra GeoAIX is on-premise in the same way. This is the deployment model defence-adjacent, utility, and government facilities in Saudi Arabia normally require, and it is available without a cloud processing agreement.
Both. The same detection engine runs on perimeter security and workplace safety: it flags missing PPE, entry into hazardous zones, blocked exits, and unsafe crowd density alongside intrusion and vehicle detection. Findings are then tracked as cases in Terra IRP, so one aerial platform covers security, safety violation monitoring, and emergency response together.
Multirotor aircraft such as the DJI M350 RTK or M400 hover in place, launch from tight industrial sites, and suit perimeter patrol, thermal inspection, and rapid dispatch across a few kilometres. The Quantum Trinity Pro fixed-wing VTOL takes off vertically like a multirotor but then cruises like an aircraft for over two hours, which makes it the right choice for pipeline corridors, transmission lines, and multi-kilometre boundaries beyond multirotor range.
