Aerial Surveillance with Drones
Compact and agile, oftentimes with a camera onboard, drones can infiltrate areas that could hardly be accessible otherwise. Whether it’s too distant, too high or too low, too hard to get to personally, drones can be there. The first person view effect of a drone’s camera is really a form of one-person real time video surveillance, and can be used for live monitoring or investigation.
A killer feature would be when the agility of drones will be combined with low latency artificial intelligence analysis. The AI can be trained to be looking for a missing person, detection of abnormal situation or a triggerring factor for dispatching of humans. In our new article we let ourselves fantasize a little about uses of artificial intelligence in Aerial Surveillance with Drones. Read more

USB joystick for PTZ camera control, an Additional option in Xeoma
