Security Challenges are Evolving.

 

>  Guards provide a visible deterrent, but can’t be everywhere.

>  Patrols only provide snapshots in time.

>  Fixed CCTV is expensive to install & difficult to relocate.

>  Large sites create coverage gaps.

Skyguard gives customers a set of eyes in the sky, whenever needed.

 

Autonomous drone patrols continuously monitor the site, detect suspicious activity, and provide security teams with real time intelligence before incidents escalate.

Stop Incidents Before They Happen

A visible aerial presence, Skyguard actively deters criminal activity, stopping many offenders before they even attempt to breach your perimeter.

More Protection. Less Cost.

Achieve continuous site coverage at a fraction of the cost of maintaining full-time physical security resources.

Respond in Seconds, Not Minutes

With security, incident response times really matter. A security guard could travel from across the site. A patrol officer could travel across the city. For most sites, a drone will be there in seconds.

Make the Right Decision, Fast

Gain immediate visual confirmation of incidents, helping security teams respond confidently and effectively.

Track offenders beyond your site

Continue monitoring offender movements after they leave your site, maintaining visibility for up to 2km to support police response

Built for Complex Environments

Skyguard is designed to help organisations protect large, complex and high-value sites where visibility, coverage and response are critical.

FAQ

  1. How long can SkyGuard fly for?

    SkyGuard can remain airborne for up to 30 minutes per flight, providing rapid response, site patrols and incident investigation across large outdoor environments.

  2. How large a site can SkyGuard cover?

    SkyGuard is designed for large sites and can support environments spanning up to 16 kilometres, depending on site layout and operational requirements.

  3. How quickly can SkyGuard respond to an incident?

    For most sites, SkyGuard can be deployed within seconds of an alarm or suspicious activity being detected, allowing security teams to investigate incidents significantly faster than traditional patrol-based models.

  4. Can SkyGuard replace security guards?

    No.

    Guards can physically interact with the environment in a way a drone can’t. SkyGuard  is designed to support and enhance existing security operations, not replace them. It gives security teams greater visibility, improves situational awareness and helps them protect larger sites more effectively.

  5. Can SkyGuard operate at night?

    Yes.

    Most operate at night and are equipped with thermal imaging and low-light camera technology, enabling monitoring and incident investigation during darkness and low-visibility conditions.

  6. How does SkyGuard help reduce security costs?

    Large sites often require significant patrol resources, vehicles and fixed security infrastructure to maintain coverage.

    SkyGuard helps organisations improve site visibility and patrol effectiveness while making better use of existing security resources.

  7. Does SkyGuard integrate with existing security systems?

    Yes.

    Through our monitoring provider Code 9, SkyGuard integrates with other sensors onsite to let it know where to investigate. It can also complement existing security measures, onsite security personnel, alarm systems and other site security technologies.

  8. What happens when a threat is detected?

    When suspicious activity is identified, SkyGuard can automatically investigate the area, provide live video to monitoring operators and enable rapid assessment of the situation.

    If intervention is required, operators can activate deterrence measures, communicate with intruders and coordinate the appropriate response.

  9. How does SkyGuard deter criminal activity?

    The visible presence of an aerial security platform, combined with live monitoring, bright spotlight technology and voice intervention, can help deter criminal activity before incidents escalate.

  10. Is SkyGuard monitored by people?

    Yes.

    While SkyGuard uses automation and AI to improve efficiency, trained security professionals remain central to monitoring, decision-making and incident response.

  11. Does Red Badge manage the entire service?

    Yes.

    SkyGuard is only delivered as a fully managed service with Red Badge, and no other provider. From deployment and configuration through to monitoring, reporting and operational management, our team handles everything required to keep the solution operating effectively.

  12. Is SkyGuard compliant with Civil Aviation Authority requirements?

    Yes.

    SkyGuard deployments are managed by experienced professionals who understand the regulatory requirements associated with commercial drone operations and site-specific approvals.

  13. What makes SkyGuard different from CCTV?

    Traditional CCTV systems provide visibility only where cameras are installed.

    SkyGuard can actively investigate alarms, move to areas of interest, provide aerial visibility across large sites and support real-time incident response.

  14. How is SkyGuard Installed?

    SkyGuard is delivered as a fully managed service.

    You provide the site and access to power, and our team manages the installation, configuration, approvals and setup. If power isn’t readily available, solar-powered options may also be available depending on the site requirements.

  15. What drone platform does SkyGuard use?

    SkyGuard utilises trusted commercial drone technology from DJI, one of the world’s leading and most widely adopted drone manufacturers. Each deployment is supported by Red Badge’s specialist expertise in installation, compliance, monitoring and operations.

  16. Can I access footage?

    Yes.

    SkyGuard footage can be made available to authorised customer personnel. Access requirements, storage periods and reporting options can be tailored to your operational and security requirements.

  17. Do I need existing security sensors on site?

    No.

    SkyGuard can integrate with existing security systems, but we can also provide low-cost wireless sensors to help detect movement, trigger investigations and enhance site visibility.

  18. Does Red Badge install sensors and supporting equipment?

    Yes.

    Where required, Red Badge can supply and install wireless security sensors and supporting technologies as part of a complete Skyguard solution.
