Security and response
A one-off aerial observation for understanding the perimeter
This mission documents a site on a date or during a defined exercise. It is not a permanent surveillance system. The security manager sets the question: mapping access and blind spots, reviewing visible change, documenting an exercise or providing imagery during a planned window.
Defining objective and protocol
The client supplies the boundary, authorized areas, access, sensitive zones, people present, risks, timing and communication chain. The parties agree who receives imagery, retention and what must be masked or not captured. Night, real-time and thermal work are assessed as specific scopes and never implied.
The route provides context and defined sector views without assuming flight over people or interfering with ground security. Property, privacy, data protection, airspace, lighting and link constraints may limit the mission.

DataTerra does not promise automated person detection or identification, facial recognition, continuous patrol, armed response or intervention. Absence from imagery does not guarantee a clear perimeter. The security manager retains command, verification and response; the drone is a temporary information source.
Frequently asked questions
Is this 24/7 surveillance?▸
No. It is a planned mission or exercise with duration and coverage defined in the quote.
Are night flight or thermal cameras included?▸
Only when equipment, staff, permissions and conditions are specifically confirmed.
Does the system identify people automatically?▸
No. Automated identification and facial recognition are not claimed.
A mission-specific quote
Each mission uses only the methods required by its goal. GCPs, thermal or multispectral cameras, 3D models and reports are included when relevant and confirmed in the quote. RTK is mentioned only when its availability is confirmed explicitly. Submitting the request does not trigger a charge; DataTerra replies with a proposal.
Coverage and feasibility
Operations are available in Mexico and Colombia depending on location and operator availability. Airspace, site permission, access, weather, risk and required equipment are checked before confirmation.
