What to check before you buy
- Flight time
- Compare stated flight time with the payload you will carry; a camera, speaker and light together shorten it.
- Camera payload
- Check which gimbal cameras the aircraft accepts: zoom, thermal or dual-sensor, and how they are controlled.
- Range and data link
- Ask for the video and control range, the frequency bands and whether the link is encrypted.
- Accessories
- Check mounts and power for speakers, spotlights, warning lights and drop devices.
- Weather
- Ask for the wind resistance and protection rating for the conditions where you patrol.
- Local rules
- Check the registration and operating rules that apply to public-safety drones where you will fly.
