Discover the best practices for drone security

Drone technology is becoming more and more relevant to the security industry.

On this six-week course from The Institute for Drone Technology, you’ll learn how to operate a drone for security purposes such as perimeter patrolling and security systems inspections and assessment.

Explore drone hazard identification and safety procedures

Before using drones for security, it’s important to understand how they work and what precautions you need to take for optimum safety.

This course will guide you through the hardware and software used in remotely piloted aircrafts (RPAs). You’ll then look at assessing and identifying hazards when using drones for security, and how you might manage and reduce any potential risks to improve safety.

Develop processes to analyse data from your security drones

Drones can be extremely useful for collecting a wide variety of data remotely. This can not only speed up a number of processes but also make any reports much more comprehensive and recommendations more accurate.

You’ll learn how to plan and perform data analysis using drones, from collecting data to interpreting and reporting that data to the best effect.

Learn from the experts at The Institute for Drone Technology

Drawing from their own experiences with security clients, The Institute for Drone Technology is uniquely positioned to teach you everything you need to know about using drones for security.

This course is designed for anyone interested in using drones for security purposes, whether for yourself or for third-party clients.
