Fixed Cameras Have Limits.
Aerial Cover Fills the Gaps.
Reading is one of the largest towns in the south, with business parks along the M4, logistics and industrial sites, a big retail centre, university campuses and venues that host large events. Sites at this scale are slow to patrol and hard to see in full.
Airframe adds planned aerial cover in Reading where the ground view runs out, giving your team live or near-real-time video, documented imagery and a clear overview before, during and after an incident.
Good decisions on the ground start with a clear picture from above.

Questions about drone security in Reading
Yes. We provide planned aerial security checks for business parks, logistics and industrial sites, campuses and events across Reading, as scheduled visits or standby cover agreed in advance.
Incident monitoring and drone security overviewYes, around AWE Burghfield to the south-west, which needs separate approval to enter and which we keep out of. Sites elsewhere are checked against the airspace and temporary restrictions before every job.
Only in limited cases. Busy streets, shopping areas, the railway and gatherings of people restrict where a drone can fly, so town-centre requests are assessed individually. We never fly over crowds.
Yes, where the organiser has agreed and the airspace and site permissions allow. We fly from agreed positions outside the crowd and focus on perimeters, entrances and movement.
Yes. Large yards are well suited to aerial checks, and we plan positions on or next to the site rather than over the motorway.
Yes. Building sites, plant yards and materials compounds are a common reason for aerial checks, particularly between phases and over shutdown periods. We agree the times, flight positions and how our pilot reports back to your team.
Where conditions allow. Our aircraft carry thermal and zoom cameras, so people and vehicles are easier to pick out in the dark. Night work still depends on the weather, the airspace and the permissions in place for the site.
We do not promise a fixed response time. Reading is about 14 miles from our base, and availability, weather and airspace all play a part. If cover needs to be ready at short notice, the answer is a standby arrangement agreed in advance; anything unplanned is assessed case by case.
No. We watch, record and report. Aerial cover works alongside your guarding, CCTV and response procedures, and decisions about responding or intervening stay with your team.
