Deployment typically takes about two weeks. It includes site planning for base station locations, integration with existing power and security systems, facility mapping, patrol creation, staff training, system testing, and final commissioning.
Drones launch and land from Nightingale base stations, where they also recharge. In emergencies (e.g., sudden weather change), drones can land at designated Emergency Landing Zones (ELZs).
All video and flight data are stored locally in the base station. Customers can choose to keep data onsite, back it up to the cloud, or both—ensuring complete control over retention and access.
Up to 40 minutes in standard conditions. Flight time may vary depending on weather, wind, and payload.
Typically up to 400 ft AGL (in compliance with FAA regulations).
Yes. Operations near airports require FAA airspace waivers. Nightingale assists customers by assessing airspace and submitting waiver requests when needed.
The system uses standard IP camera formats compatible with most VMS platforms. Drone video streams can be easily integrated into your current security system.
Using the Mission Manager web application, customers can quickly create, schedule, and launch missions with customizable routes and parameters.
Built-in safety measures include Return-to-Land (RTL) on error, geofencing to keep flights within boundaries, collision lights, and intelligent path planning to avoid ground hazards.
Yes. Operators can manually dispatch drones to specific GPS coordinates and control camera orientation. The flight planner ensures obstacle avoidance and will approach as close as safely possible if a target location is unreachable.
