AirDetect Long Range

AirDetect Long Range detects Remote ID drones at up to 20 km in ideal conditions. Each alert shows the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

Three tri-sector antennas give full 360° coverage from a single installation point. It needs only power, with a SIM card included, and reports to the AirPlate web dashboard, with SMS and email alerts.

Frequently Asked
Questions

What drones does AirDetect Long Range detect?

Remote ID drones, scanned on 2.4 GHz. It does not scan DJI DroneID, so older DJI drones without Remote ID are not covered.

  • To cover older DJI drones as well, AirDetect Pro Long Range adds a simultaneous 5.8 GHz scan.
  • Detection is purely passive, so the drone pilot receives no signal.

Does AirDetect Long Range show where the pilot is?

Yes. Each alert shows the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

  • The AirPlate map shows the drone's flight track and the pilot's position together.
  • When the pilot is located, the SMS gives their street address and a Google Maps link.
  • You also get the drone's model, serial, height and speed.

How am I alerted when a drone is detected?

AirPlate sends SMS and email alerts when a drone enters your monitored airspace.

  • You draw your own alarm zones, and any detection inside one triggers an alert.
  • You also receive a weekly summary email.
  • Detection events can also feed directly into your security operations dashboard, and AirDetect Long Range fits layered detection systems.

Is my detection data shared with anyone?

No. Your detection data stays in your AirPlate account, and nothing is shared with DJI or any other third party.

  • You review detections, flight tracks and pilot positions in the AirPlate dashboard.
  • Every detection is stored there and can be exported.
