Operating as specialist security providers since 1995, the Nitestar Security group made the decision in 2013 to use Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) and other innovative technologies in support of Nitestar’s security work. An expansion of drone use into other sectors led to the development of Nitestar’s drone services division “Drone Technologies”. Nitestar have continued to develop and expand on their drone security services and in 2018 were the sole providers of Drone Security at the Commonwealth Games.

\n\nDrones offer an array of advantages over standard security services including:
\n\nMonitoring larger areas quicker, including regions deemed inaccessible by standard patrols.
\n\tImprove safety of guards and first responders by improving situation awareness and allowing remote monitoring.
\n\tLarge field of view.
\n\tEasily re-positioned.
\n\tFootage can be live streamed to command centre.
\n\tAdvanced sensors can perceive threats indistinguishable to the human eye.
\n\tDrone technologies can be utlised to great effects across a range of industries by providing multi-faceted services, for example;
\n\nLarge events such as the 2018 Commonwealth Games benefit from a service which not only conducts routine perimeter patrols, but can also be immediately deployed to specific areas while broadcasting a live-stream to the venue security managers.
\n\tRegulatory bodies can employ a service which can collect evidence, survey inaccessible locations and act as a preemptive deterrent.
\n\tWarehouses and yacht harbours etc can reduce security premiums and assure stake holders of the security of their assets by engaging devices capable of providing real-time information including HD footage and thermal video feeds
