Anti-drone security cameras FAQ’s

  • What are the essential components of a comprehensive drone detection and anti-drone system?

    A robust counter-UAV system combines radar or RF detectors for early threat ID, PTZ cameras for tracking and thermal sensors for low-light operation. Mitigation tools, such as jammers or interceptors, and unified software help ensure a rapid, coordinated response.

    Speak to a security expert

  • How can drones be detected at night?

    Thermal imaging detects drones by their heat signatures, unaffected by light levels. Integrated radar or RF sensors with infrared cameras provide tracking and visual confirmation, even in complete darkness.

    Speak to a security expert

  • What are common drone countermeasures and technology?

    Countermeasures include RF jamming, GPS spoofing and net or kinetic interceptors. These are deployed after camera-based visual confirmation to reduce false positives and help ensure effective mitigation.

  • How does drone detection technology work?

    Radar, RF scanners or acoustic sensors first detect UAVs. Integrated PTZ cameras with thermal and optical zoom confirm and track the target, enabling real-time assessment and coordinated response.
