Drones help us quickly get eyes on any situation. Supervisors can view the secure live stream from wherever they are to actively engage and guide the officers to successful resolution.”
Site Security
Patrol. Deter. Respond.
Cut false alarms, close blind spots, and put eyes on any situation in seconds.
Modern physical security demands speed, coverage, and confidence that traditional methods can’t deliver. Skydio Site Security meets that challenge with dock-based, autonomous drones that launch in seconds to verify alarms, patrol perimeters, and deliver real-time visibility across every site—enhancing coverage and lowering costs across your operation.
Guards and cameras aren’t enough.
What once worked no longer keeps pace with today’s risks leaving organizations more exposed than protected.

Expensive and unsustainable.
Wages keep rising while turnover never stops. Guard programs cost more every year but deliver less, pushing them past the point of sustainability.
Coverage you can’t count on.
Fixed cameras only see one angle. Foot patrols are slow, inconsistent, or skipped entirely—leaving blind spots that intruders know how to exploit.
Noise that drains resources.
94% of alarms are false. Security teams burn time chasing false alerts while real threats slip through, costing companies billions annually.
Security that's always on, always ahead.
No missed patrols. No guessing at false alarms. With Skydio, sites stay under live watch, incidents are confirmed in seconds, and staff focus on the threats that matter.
Patrol.
Automated patrols cover entire sites in minutes with reliable 24/7 visibility, and randomized routes make coverage unpredictable to intruders.
Deter.
Prevent crime before it starts with a visible deterrent. Lights, speakers, and visible patrols signal that every corner is protected.
Respond.
When an alarm or access event triggers, drones are airborne in under 20 seconds. Live video confirms what’s happening so your team can respond faster and safer.
From alert to response in seconds.
How automated patrols, live video, and AI detection keep your team a step ahead.
The Skydio solution for automated site security.
One Dock Hive does the work of 15 security officers.
Operating 24/7, one Dock Hive (three docks) handles routine patrols, verifies alarms, and keeps sites secure without additional staff—delivering the same coverage and awareness as a full security team while increasing the productivity of the team you already have.1
100 %
Routine patrols handled autonomously
>94 %
Alarms cleared without security officer response
1 Disclaimer -- Three docks deliver 29K patrol hours and 3K false alarm response hours per year. 32K hours / 2,080 annual hours per guard = 15 guards
See everywhere. From anywhere.
Be ready for anything.
Get complete awareness across all of your sites, in any condition, from every angle.
Monitor multiple sites at the same time.
Multiply coverage and reduce costs with one operator commanding multiple drones, or run autonomous patrols across multiple facilities—all from a remote command center.
Detect and track threats in real-time.
Lock on and never lose sight.
Skydio Shadow locks onto subjects with precision most pilots can’t match, turning the Skydio X10 into a reliable teammate that never loses sight. It automatically keeps a safe distance, avoids obstacles, and quickly reacquires a target if the line of sight is broken—so operators can focus on developing the response plan.
AI driven detection and custom detection types.
AI analytics detect people, vehicles, and anomalies so your team knows exactly what they’ll face before arriving on scene.
Easily integrate third-party AI models for change detection, Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs), firearm detection, and other models to meet your specific security needs.
See from any angle, day or night.
Color and thermal cameras give you full visibility from perspectives guards and fixed cameras can’t reach. After dark, onboard AI and a spotlight attachment extend visibility even further.
Fly where others can’t.
Only Skydio combines trusted autonomy, resilient connectivity, and advanced navigation to operate in places and conditions where other systems fail.
Connect Fusion
Seamlessly switch between point-to-point and 5G links for the most reliable connectivity across expansive or complex sites.
Nightsense
Autonomously avoid obstacles in darkness or low-light environments. Fly 24/7 operations with confidence.
Pathfinder
Automatically fly the safest and most efficient route, avoiding terrain, buildings, and geofences to get on scene fast.
Built for the security operations center.
Skydio connects to the platforms you already trust. Video streams into Genetec or Milestone, flights launch automatically when triggered by alarms or access control events like Johnson Controls, and integrations with Axon or Scylla extend situational awareness even further. Open APIs ensure flexibility for interoperability.
