Over the last decade or so, drones have been used for surveillance purposes. There are three main types of drones in existence. These are; unmanned surveillance drones, armed drones and the normal drones used by consumers for filming purposes. Drone surveillance technology has come a long way. Today’s drones can fly at a high altitude and take high resolution pictures of what is going on in the ground. The images can be analyzed and used in the decision-making process by the intelligence community.
The law enforcement and intelligence communities have also been using regular drones for surveillance purposes. However, these drones have a powerful battery and camera, so they are able to stay in the air for longer. Normal drones can only stay in the air for around 30-minutes before they need to be recharged. They can also transmit images to a remote station for storage and analysis.
