About the service
I run a scheduled nighttime drone patrol service for construction sites, built around repeat flights after dusk rather than a single one-off pass. Each patrol follows a fixed flight corridor around the fenced perimeter, material yard, and equipment parking, flown at an interval you choose — nightly, every other night, or a custom rota tied to your shift calendar.
The craft carries a paired thermal and low-light camera rig. Thermal picks out body heat behind fencing or in unlit corners where a visible-light lens sees nothing; the low-light sensor gives a readable, colour-accurate view for logging what's actually there — a parked vehicle that shouldn't be, a gap pulled in the hoarding, a stack of rebar that's moved since the last pass.
Every flight ends with a written incident log: timestamped stills of anything flagged, a short note on what changed since the previous patrol, and an escalation call placed immediately if something needs eyes on the ground before morning. Stockpile checks are part of the standard route — I track pallet counts and material staging against the last-known layout, so a missing skid of copper pipe or a disturbed fuel store doesn't wait until the morning muster to surface.
I coordinate directly with your on-site guard or the night superintendent: patrol timing is set to complement foot patrols rather than duplicate them, and I'll adjust the route mid-contract if a new laydown area or a repeat trouble spot needs tighter coverage. Turnaround on the incident log is same-night — you get the report before the morning shift starts, not a summary emailed a day later.
Craft, remote-pilot certification, insurance, and battery and spares logistics are mine. Before the first flight I run a site briefing to confirm no-fly zones, crane swing radius, and any restricted airspace near the property, so the patrol schedule is agreed once and then simply runs.
