Aerial reconnaissance
A camera above the perimeter can observe equipment layouts and site activity. An unexpected flight near a sensitive asset gives security staff a reason to investigate what was exposed.
Critical infrastructure
Know what’s flying near your critical assets.
An unfamiliar drone near a substation, water plant, or fuel terminal raises questions. Where did it fly? Has it been here before? DroneLook gives your team alerts and flight records to start answering them.
Why it matters
The fence is only part of the picture.
A flight can bring sensitive equipment, access points, and daily operations into view. The first step is knowing when the activity deserves a closer look.
Repeat visits
A passing sighting is easy to lose track of. Repeated flights near the same equipment or entrance deserve a record that your team can compare with camera footage and incident reports.
Unfamiliar inspection aircraft
Your own teams and contractors may be flying legitimately. Staff need a way to recognize known aircraft and check activity that does not match the work they expect.
Documented case
Nashville, Tennessee · 2024 plot / 2025 guilty plea
An electrical substation became the target.
In September 2025, a man pleaded guilty to attempting to attack a Nashville energy facility using a drone and explosives. The FBI disrupted the plot before the attack took place.
The case belongs in a broader site-security assessment. DroneLook’s role is routine Remote ID awareness: alerts for detected flights and records your team can investigate.

Give your team a flight to investigate.
DroneLook receives Remote ID broadcasts and brings detected activity into Command. Your existing staff can receive an alert, inspect the flight, and decide how to respond.
Get notified near your assets
Set monitoring areas around the locations that matter. Receive alerts in Command, by email, and/or by text message.
Recognize known aircraft
Classify company and contractor drones. Color-coded markers help staff distinguish known aircraft from detections they need to review.
Look back across flights
Review recorded routes, reported flight details, and previous detections. Use flight and site reports to support your investigation.
Your locations
Start where the activity matters most.
Electric utilities & power generation
Substations, generating facilities, and equipment yards where security teams need to distinguish inspection work from unexpected flights.
Water & wastewater
Treatment facilities, reservoirs, and pumping stations spread across a district or service area.
Oil, gas & energy sites
Refineries, storage terminals, and other facilities with sensitive equipment and ongoing contractor operations.

A few practical
questions.
Can we monitor several facilities in Command?
Yes. Connect nodes at your locations and review detected activity in Command. We can discuss placement and coverage around the assets your team wants to monitor.
How do staff recognize our inspection drones?
Your team can classify known aircraft as Trusted or Vendor. Those classifications appear on drone and pilot markers, helping staff review detections in the context of your operations.
What does each location need?
The outdoor node uses standard PoE for power and network connectivity. Custom off-grid configurations can be discussed around the site’s needs.
