Drone Detection for Corrections & Public Safety

No. RF detection depends on detectable emissions and compatible signal types; a drone operating without detectable RF signals may not be detected by RF sensing alone. Plan complementary visual assessment, and do not treat either an RF alert or the absence of one as proof of contraband activity.

The direction finder provides bearing information, not a verified pilot coordinate. Its stated coverage is 360° in azimuth, with angular accuracy of ≤5°. Sensing-station position, track and distance information also depends on aircraft type or model, so define the location information needed before selecting equipment.

Use visual verification to assess the contact rather than relying on an RF alert alone. The dual-spectrum camera combines 1920 × 1080 visible imaging and a 640 × 512 cooled infrared channel for day/night assessment. These capabilities do not guarantee that a payload will be identifiable; discuss viewing conditions and assessment requirements.

The fixed sensing station supports continuous operation from a 24 V supply and offers allow/deny lists, track replay, event logs and statistics for monitoring and review. Handheld detectors provide sound and vibration warnings for mobile staff, weigh ≤350 g excluding the antenna and have stated operating endurance of ≥4 hours.

Provide a site plan, priority areas, likely camera obstructions, available power, patrol requirements and incident-review needs. Specify whether the scope is equipment supply or system integration, and identify any required acceptance tests. Ask for FAT/SAT activities to be explicitly priced and defined in the quotation rather than assuming they are included.

Yes. Identify the sensing station, direction finder, EO/IR camera or handheld detector required, together with quantity and destination market. State whether you need equipment only or RF design, software and integration support, so the quotation addresses your intended scope rather than a complete facility installation.
