Site Protection

Drone Surveillance

Fences only hold for a short time. Cameras see fragments. Drone surveillance? It sees everything!

With neonotu drone surveillance, you bring a system into the air that doesn't just supplement your existing security solutions — it replaces them, exactly where others have long since hit their limits. Our surveillance drones detect intruders before your site is even within their sight.

This is no longer classic site protection. This is active site security!

The system

The Drone That Takes Action

Drones are only as good as their system. Ours are autonomous, networked, and uncompromisingly designed for surveillance.

Autonomous surveillance flights with no downtime
Response to every alarm within seconds (No, that's not just a marketing line. Our drones are actually airborne no later than 20 seconds after the trigger.)
Dynamic flight modes depending on the situation
Immediate detection of suspicious activity

This autonomy makes the difference: No fixed patterns, no routine. Unpredictability is the bad guys' worst enemy. And with our drones, they don't stand a chance!

And yes — every surveillance drone is a fully-fledged aircraft, built for continuous operation.

The terrain

Surveillance Drone in Action: When the Terrain Gets Complex

Large sites? No problem. We precisely match the number of drones to your property, the buildings on it, and the desired security level.

The larger the site, the greater the advantage of an aerial view. Our drones are perfectly suited for:

Industrial and corporate sites

Efficient surveillance flights from a bird's-eye view replace costly personnel.

Construction sites

Trouble tends to lurk especially at night. Thieves and other criminals have used the cover of darkness to steal or commit vandalism since time immemorial. Our surveillance drones give these individuals a compelling reason to go look for honest work instead.

Critical infrastructure & power plants

Here, every second counts, because nothing less than human lives are at stake. Regular, automated surveillance flights shorten the time to discovery — by how much depends on the flight schedule, the size of the site and the weather. What is achievable in your case we work out beforehand.

Payload and AI

The Drone That Thinks Along: Surveillance Without Compromise

The payload determines performance. That's why we rely on state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras and highly sensitive infrared sensors.

But hardware alone isn't enough: the true core is the AI running directly on board the drone (“edge AI”). Paired with our in-house developed control software, the aircraft becomes an intelligent guardian that independently analyzes and evaluates situations in real time.

High-resolution images and crystal-clear video footage
Seamless detection in total darkness thanks to IR and thermal imaging technology
Precise real-time identification of people and movement through onboard AI

Data quality is crucial — especially in the event of an incident. Our systems deliver court-admissible evidence, compliant with VdS standards and all EU requirements. Low weight, optimized properties, and stable flight modes ensure maximum operational efficiency.

The control centre

Optional Control Center & Live Monitoring: More Security Through Specialized AI and a Drone Operations Center (DOC)

The brain: our specially developed AI system.

The integrated onboard AI is specifically trained to precisely identify intruders. It reliably distinguishes between real threats such as people or vehicles (including license plate recognition) and harmless animals. Do you have special requirements? No problem — we can easily retrain the AI on your individual criteria.

You control the entire system centrally through our software platform. It offers you far more than just configuring flight routes or flight times:

Live stream & photo library: Full real-time visual control at all times and access to all recordings.
Intelligent triggers: You define exactly how the system processes the AI's results and which automated responses should be triggered upon detection.
Tailored scalability: From a single flight to a networked swarm, you control everything from a single source.

The heart: our control center.

This is where all data, aerial imagery, and video footage converge. Experienced drone pilots and our specially developed AI system analyze every situation live, in real time.

Immediate analysis in the event of an alarm
Direct assistance during critical incidents
Continuous monitoring of all areas

Instead of an employee walking the rounds, you get full support from the central command center if you want it.

The legal frame

Surveillance Drone & EU/VdS: Legally Compliant in Operation

Deploying a surveillance drone only makes sense if it's legally sound.

That's why we offer:

Every location, every site, every situation is reviewed in advance.

Full EU compliance

Implementation of all relevant VdS requirements (Trust Through Security — the highest standard for corporate security, recognized by insurers)

Documentation for solid, court-ready evidence

Fields of use

Applications: More Than Just Surveillance

Our surveillance drones can do more.

Besides classic surveillance flights, aerial inspections are also possible — for example, to check sensitive facilities such as power plants.

These applications expand your system and reduce costs in the long run.

Benefits of Drone Surveillance at a Glance

Maximum site security with minimal personnel effort

Seamless monitoring with no blind spots

Fast response to alarms and other types of disturbances

Scalable deployment depending on area and zone

Significantly reduced costs compared to classic solutions

In closing

Conclusion: Your Decision — React or Take Control

Classic site protection reacts, which means it's always at a disadvantage against intruders who take initiative. Our drone surveillance takes action. You don't get a flying camera. You get an autonomous UAV system that actively manages your security.

Those who trust fences are hoping nothing happens. Those who deploy drones take control. Ready for uncompromising security?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What advantages does drone surveillance offer for site protection?

The biggest advantages lie in speed, autonomy, continuity, and significantly lower costs for security solutions. A surveillance drone sees more, reacts faster, and operates continuously.

Is operation legally permitted within the EU?

Yes. Every drone deployment requires an EU-wide standardized operating permit. neonotu is registered with the German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) as an official operator and is therefore verified across the EU. We comply with all relevant VdS guidelines and handle the entire process for you: the site-specific operating permit (including the SORA risk assessment, operations manual, etc.) is prepared and submitted directly by us.

How exactly do autonomous surveillance flights work?

The drone carries out autonomous surveillance flights — either scheduled, randomized, or triggered by an alarm. Control is handled by our in-house developed AI.

Can inspection flights be carried out as well?

Yes. In addition to surveillance, technical inspection flights are also possible — particularly useful for complex facilities or power plants.

How many drones can be deployed at once?

The number depends on your site and the desired level of surveillance. Multiple systems can be operated in parallel.
