Does KDT provide drone overwatch and surveillance?
Drone Overwatch & Perimeter Surveillance
Yes.
KDT provides drone overwatch and perimeter surveillance: drone crews that fly day and thermal night patrols over base camps, perimeters, critical sites and security operations, with live video to the security team or incident command.
Typical configuration
- Sensors
- Zoom visual and thermal cameras
- Video
- Live feed to security or command, recorded for review
- Patrols
- Scheduled and on-call, day and night
- Flight time
- Typically 30–45 minutes per battery, with battery swaps for continuous coverage
- Pilots
- Certificated as the job and airspace require
A security team on the ground sees what's in front of it. A drone overhead sees the whole perimeter, the vehicle parked a half mile out and the person moving along the fence line in the dark. Drone overwatch gives a small team the coverage of a much larger one.
KDT drone crews fly scheduled and on-call patrols over base camps, equipment yards, critical infrastructure, disaster zones and security operations, with visual cameras by day and thermal by night. Live video goes to our security supervisor or your command, so officers respond to what the drone finds. On hazmat and spill sites, the same drones give the incident a safe look at areas people shouldn't enter.
Flights are planned within the airspace rules for the site and coordinated with any incident Air Operations, and pilots are certificated as the job and airspace require. Overwatch pairs naturally with camera towers and officers on the ground.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide drone overwatch and surveillance?
Yes. Our drone crews fly day and thermal night patrols over camps, perimeters, critical sites and security operations, with live video to your team.
Can drones fly at night?
Yes, within the airspace rules for the site. Thermal cameras make night patrols one of the most useful things a drone does for security.
Does drone overwatch replace security officers?
No. It extends them. The drone finds and watches; officers on the ground respond.
Can a drone look into a hazardous area?
Yes. On hazmat and spill sites, drones give the incident a look at areas people shouldn't enter without full protection.
