Drones for inspection

by Mark Rowe

Dahua Drones are for use in varied safety inspection and security scenarios. The drones can carry out checks of utility towers, otherwise hard and risky to reach. The drones can capture HD images at a distance, thus avoiding electromagnetic interference from high-voltage power grids and visual mistakes by people operating from afar. The thermal camera they carry can locate abnormally hot spots in cables and insulation terminals, thus preventing accidents.

Via the thermal camera it carries, the drone can detect suspicious hot spots invisible to the eye. At a height of 1500m, a Dahua Drone covers an area of 5km², doing the inspection work of dozens of people in one flight.

When there is a fire, the drone can fly to the site, transmitting data to ground teams, so that they can make the right move. Once the fire has been extinguished, the drone’s overhead inspection can prevent a second fire.

Arriving at crime scenes, the drones can record real-time visual information about locations using its multifunctional camera, which is capable of optical zooming x30 so the drone can work from a distance where it won’t be noticed by criminals; thermal imaging (allowing the drone to work at night) and automatic recognition of faces or wanted cars. Using wireless transmission the information collected is accessible to all mainstream VMS platforms.

At public events like concerts, sports meetings and marathons, a Dahua Drone can provide surveillance from up high because of its multiple flying modes (circling around and tracking down the target), while its camera can capture the whole picture as well as specific details and while using its long 38 minute battery life.

For inspection of bridges, which usually takes boats, equipment and experienced staff, the drones can simplify the process and reduce the cost in money and time. Dahua points out that its drones can resist the wind (up to Windspeed 7.0), and are capable of maintaining suspension over the river and providing stable visual information.

In daily patrols, when encountering the illegal driving, the drones can capture HD images from afar and keep the record as evidence. The car and the driver can be immediately identified from the number plate after the video is transmitted to the back-end. In another scenario, if there is a traffic jam on a highway, a drone can provide real time images.
