Beehive Security Drone Information
How the Beehive drone-in-a-box works, what is inside the drone and its base station, and straight answers to the questions we hear most.
From launch to landing, on its own
Traditional security, modernized. The Beehive pairs a small drone with a base station that launches it, lands it and charges it.
- It stays inside your geofence
The drone only flies within a predefined geofence, which keeps navigation safe and precise.
- It launches in about 5 seconds
The drone lifts off from its base station and is on its way almost at once.
- It patrols and tracks
It plans its own path, avoids obstacles in real time and tracks objects, and can reach any point of a 4-acre property in under 30 seconds.
- It streams live video
A low-light HD camera sends clear 1080p video, including after dark.
- It lands and recharges
The drone returns to the base station for an accurate landing and a recharge, even in adverse wind.
Looking for the overview? Beehive drone security covers why businesses choose it, how it compares with a guard on foot, and how to get a proposal.
