Fixed sensor · Remote ID + older DJI, two bands

AirDetect Pro Long Range

AirDetect Pro Long Range detects Remote ID drones at up to 20 km and older DJI drones at up to 8 km, in ideal conditions. Each alert shows the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

It scans 2.4 and 5.8 GHz at the same time. It needs only power, with a SIM card included, and reports to the AirPlate web dashboard, with SMS and email alerts.

Locating the pilot

Not just the drone: where the pilot is.

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

  • The drone's flight track and the pilot's position on one map
  • An SMS with the pilot's street address and a Google Maps link
  • The drone's model, serial, height and speed

Frequently Asked
Questions

What drones does AirDetect Pro Long Range detect?

Remote ID drones and older DJI drones (DJI DroneID; DJI Gen 2 and 3).

  • It scans 2.4 GHz for Remote ID signals and 5.8 GHz for older DJI drones at the same time.
  • Detection is purely passive, so the drone pilot receives no signal.
See the specs 

What is the detection range of AirDetect Pro Long Range?

Up to 20 km for Remote ID drones and up to 8 km for older DJI drones, in ideal conditions. In urban environments the ranges are shorter.

  • Remote ID drones, on 2.4 GHz: up to 6 km in urban environments.
  • Older DJI drones (DJI DroneID), on 5.8 GHz: up to 5 km in urban environments.

What is the difference between AirDetect Long Range and AirDetect Pro Long Range?

AirDetect Pro Long Range also detects older DJI drones; AirDetect Long Range scans Remote ID on 2.4 GHz only.

  • Both detect Remote ID drones at up to 20 km in ideal conditions and 6 km urban.
  • AirDetect Long Range uses three tri-sector antennas at 7 dB gain.
  • AirDetect Pro Long Range adds a simultaneous 5.8 GHz scan for older DJI drones, with two omni and three tri-sector antennas at 3 to 10.2 dB gain.

How am I alerted when a drone is detected?

AirPlate sends SMS and email alerts when a drone enters your monitored airspace. Each alert shows the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

  • When the pilot is located, the SMS gives their street address and a Google Maps link.
  • 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 Pro 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.
