How Drones Benefit Emergency Services

Quicken Your Response Times With Drones

Increase the Accuracy of Your Search & Rescue Missions
Use thermal and visual cameras to search for missing people; drones are a more cost-effective solution than deploying a police helicopter and quicker than conducting ground patrols.
Rapid and Affordable Diaster Response
Deploy drones rapidly and cheaply, reaching inaccessible and dangerous areas quickly, and obtain vital information about an ongoing incident.
Effective Crowd Control & Surveillance
Discreetly monitor a crowd from above, scout key areas or monitor suspects and observe crowd behaviour.
Police Building Inspections
Use drones to inspect buildings and roofs with zoom and thermal cameras. Drones enhance accuracy, eliminate risks associated with manual inspections, and streamline the data collection process.
Drone Response Vehicle
heliguy™ has a dedicated drone support vehicle designed, developed & manufactured in partnership with Venari designed for facilitating efficient drone deployment in the field.
Tactical Dog Camera
Obtain this cost-effective canine camera to achieve real-time situational awareness for public safety, security/surveillance, military, and search & rescue operations.
