Drone as First Responder, here's how it works:
IDI drones launch from pre-positioned docks within seconds for outdoor response, while patrol vehicles deploy drones to cover indoor environments. Together, they track subjects, stream live video, and deliver real-time situational awareness indoors and out—keeping officers and the community safe. IDI helps you establish and scale a successful DFR programme.
Start with the right drones.
IDI drones for outdoor, patrol vehicle deployment for indoor, ready for any call.
- Easy-to-fly day and night using autonomy to avoid obstacles and minimise operator cognitive load.
- Fly low and close, even without GPS, to see subjects and details under trees or covered structures or inside buildings.
- See clearly day and night with zoom sensors, active illumination options and reliable live streaming.
Strategically position docked drones, ready to fly within 20 seconds.
Deploy IDI Docks where you need them most based on your historical call for service data.
- Place Docks where you need them most based on your historical call for service data.
- Provide continuous overwatch and the ability to respond to multiple calls at once with a multi-dock setup.
- Recharge in a ruggedised, weather-ready, and temperature-controlled platform.
Enable remote flight from a browser for both docked and patrol drones.
Use IDI Fly as your DFR central operating system.
- Launch to incidents with one click on a map populated with calls for service from your Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD).
- Use IDI Fly to live stream video directly to anyone with a browser.
- Improve communication and accelerate response using augmented street and address overlays.
- Fly multiple drones at once, controlled by a single operator in one browser.
Out-of-the-box integrations automate workflows.
Connect IDI DFR with your existing systems for seamless operations.
- See body-worn camera and vehicle locations in IDI Fly. Fly to an officer in need with a single click.
- Live stream video into your control room for a common operating picture.
- Securely transfer media into evidence systems automatically.
- One-click dispatch to CFS with pre-built integrations to leading CAD and NG911 systems.
- Develop and test all integrations in the virtual IDI environment before deployment.
