Your Festival.
Your Perimeter.
Our Eyes in the Sky.

Festival drone security gives your security team an aerial view of the perimeter and the land around it, including the fence line, public and staff entrances, car parks and storage compounds. It is particularly useful on long or remote stretches that are slow to patrol on foot and hard to cover with fixed CCTV. Our crew passes relevant observations to event control and authorised staff can view available live imagery, so your team can decide where to send people with better information. It supports your existing security operation rather than replacing it.

No. Our aircraft, flight positions and operations base are all outside the festival boundary, and we do not fly over the event or over people who are not involved in our operation. From outside, the cameras look along the fence line and over it into the site, and zoom gives useful detail without flying overhead.

Anything that affects the security and safety of the perimeter and the land around it: unauthorised access and break-ins, disorderly behaviour at entrances and in car parks, fire and smoke, health and safety hazards such as damaged fencing or blocked emergency routes, and emergencies. What we see is passed straight to your security team and event organisers.

Yes. Night-time observation uses the DJI Matrice 4T, which carries a thermal camera that shows heat signatures against cooler surroundings. Night flights are planned and risk-assessed for each site and remain subject to the permissions and conditions that apply. Thermal imaging cannot see through solid objects, and no system can guarantee that every person or event will be detected.

Yes. Available live imagery can be streamed to a secure browser-based dashboard for the personnel you authorise. Streaming depends on connectivity at the site, which we look at during planning.

Yes. We agree radio procedures, call signs and reporting points with your security lead before the event. Our crew then relays relevant observations to event control or designated security personnel using your radio network or compatible equipment.

No. Airframe provides aerial observation, imagery and information. Your security team remains responsible for assessing incidents and for any physical response. The service is designed to give that team a clearer picture, not to take on its role.

Yes. Most deployments are built around priority sectors, such as known problem areas, remote stretches of fence, public and staff entrances, car parks, storage compounds and service routes. We agree these with you during planning and can adjust the focus during the event if your priorities change.

Simultaneous operations can be planned where they are operationally appropriate. They need additional aircraft and crews, careful planning and the relevant authorisations, so we scope them with you at the planning stage.

Flights depend on weather and safe operating conditions, and the decision to fly rests with the pilot in command. We agree with you in advance how weather-affected periods will be communicated and handled, and keep event control informed during the event so your team can plan around any pause in aerial cover.

It depends on the site, the surrounding airspace, the time of day and how close operations are to people. We carry out the airspace assessment for each event and arrange the permissions and authorisations our operation needs. We will also need the landowner’s and event organiser’s agreement to the take-off and landing positions we use.

Yes. Relevant recordings and imagery can be handed over after the event in an agreed format for authorised use, such as incident review or reporting. Footage is handled in line with data protection requirements.

As early in your planning as possible. Airspace and permission requirements vary from site to site, and early contact gives us time to assess the site, plan sectors with your security lead and arrange what the operation needs.

Yes. We are based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and deploy to events across the UK. Travel for the crew is set out in the proposal so the full cost is clear from the start.
