Film Set Drone Security
From non-disclosure contracts to strict on-set security, film and TV companies go to great lengths keeping details of their latest productions a closely guarded secret. Drones have opened up a new frontier in the battle against leaks.
Major pre-release leaks have been estimated to cause up to a 20% loss in revenue on major productions. In the highest-profile cases, the FBI has been called in to investigate on the grounds of intellectual property theft.
A stray video drone flying overhead could easily pick up information directors didn’t want to get out, like stars making a guest appearance or even capture snippets of action that give important plot clues away.
Or, the footage could be used to alert fans to where a secret filming location is, creating extra problems of people turning up unwanted. Film set security could be strengthened with our drone solutions.
Anti-Drone Security for Film Sets
Film studios and TV production companies need to take two steps to prevent commercially sensitive secrets from being stolen and leaked by drones.
First, they need to be able to detect when unauthorised drones are flying overhead. Second, the only sure-fire way of avoiding unwanted information leaking out is to stop a drone in its tracks. This is complicated by strict regulations around how drones can and cannot be stopped, and in what circumstances.

First Line Of Defense
A.I.M’s DS-8 drone detection systems provide an ideal first line of defence for film sets. With 360 degree monitoring in all directions and a detection range exceeding 5km*, by deploying a DS-8 drone detection unit you can trust you will get plenty of advanced warning of any drones approaching.
*subject to environment
Multiple Drone Types Detected
DS-8 units use multi-signal tracking which can identify the control signals of the most common selected drone types. When drones use GPS, our DS-8 detector can pinpoint location and track flight paths on selected drones. Plus, our systems have the capability to intercept and capture the video stream on selected FPV drones, meaning you can gather evidence of what a drone is filming.
The portable DS-8 RD has the added advantage of being a fully mobile self-contained unit, which is perfect for taking with you to different filming locations.

When filming, the last thing you want is to have to stop whilst you deal with a drone threat. Our drone mitigation solutions are rapid and extremely effective against selected mainstream drones. With the option to add a custom built remote, stopping drones in their tracks has never been easier. They work by forcing the drone to either return to its home position (if the drone has the return home capability) or by commanding the drone to land on the spot.
