Drone technology is fast becoming popular among hobbyists, and in industrial and commercial application. Drone aircraft are also incredibly popular in security applications. The same benefits that drones can provide in photography, military, agriculture and other fields are also important for loss prevention and security.

Patrol

Security guards walk building perimeters all of the time. Drones that have functional cameras, however, are able to cover a whole lot more ground. These units can take pictures and video footage of areas, events, and spaces. They are even able to survey areas that may be less accessible and that get patrolled less frequently such as rooftop areas or other remote spaces.

Scouting The Movements Of Suspect

In the retail industry, it has been the norm for several years now that security would not confront or chase shoplifters. This has become generally accepted as it is thought that the fear and discomfort that seeing confrontations between security staff and shoplifters cause among regular customers outweigh the value of whatever has been stolen. By using camera equipped drones, security staff can observe perpetrators as they leave, recording their clothing, appearance, method, and direction of egress, and often times the vehicle type and license plate number. This may not stop shoplifters in the short term, but after enough security agencies start using them for this purpose, it will become widely known that drones will be deployed to follow and record shoplifters. This will create a valuable deterrence.

The Collection Of Evidence And Surveying The Property

Patrols by drones that are recorded can provide recurring records of key areas of the property on a regular basis. These patrols can be used to identify issues such as graffiti, fences that have been cut, trespassing and squatting among many other things.

Best of all, drones can do all of these things while removing much of the need for dangerous confrontations. Rather than relying on the testimony of emotionally charged personnel, audio and video recordings can be used to provide a clear record of events and evidence. Drones are easy for security staff to learn to use and represent the cutting edge in security equipment.
