The AirDetect Pro is a fixed sensor that watches a single site around the clock. It runs continuously with no operator present, and reports every detection to the AirPlate app: you see the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

Remote ID drones

Detected

6 km
maximum range

2.4 GHz · Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Beacon

Older DJI drones

Detected

6 km
maximum range

5.8 GHz · DJI DroneID, DJI Gen 2 and 3

The signal gets sparse at a distance: at close range, 0 to 1 km, it records 40 or more detections per minute. Which drones each kind of scanning covers is in What it detects.

  1. Antennas
    Two rod antennas, on a bracket at the top of the mast
  2. Sensor enclosure
    The sensor itself. It needs only power; a SIM card is included.

It needs only power: a SIM card is included, so there is no network to set up. Mount it on a mast or roof, above the skyline: a higher position increases the range. It works outdoors, with a clear line of sight to the sky; buildings and other obstructions can shorten the range.

Once it is running, its status shows on the Map page, in the AirDetect Systems panel. See Map.
