Drone security & surveillance in Brive-la-Gaillarde

Drones have become a remarkably effective security auxiliary: alarm verification in minutes where a patrol takes an hour, perimeter surveillance of large industrial and logistics sites, thermal cameras detecting a human presence at night several hundred metres away, inspection of fences and blind spots of fixed cameras. Paired with a security control room, they multiply a ground team's coverage without multiplying headcount.

We offer one-off missions (surveillance of a private event, a sensitive construction site over a weekend, intrusion searches) as well as recurring arrangements in partnership with licensed private security companies holding the required CNAPS authorisations. Every mission undergoes a prior legal review: image capture falls under GDPR and, for public roads, under a framework strictly reserved for the authorities.

Common use cases

The local context in Brive-la-Gaillarde

Corrèze's largest town, Brive-la-Gaillarde owes its "gaillarde" (valiant) nickname to its inhabitants' bravery under siege; its old core of beige sandstone and slate wraps around the Saint-Martin collegiate church, with the Georges-Brassens market halls — sung by the poet — as its gourmet epicentre. Brive-Vallée de la Dordogne airport (LFSL), some fifteen kilometres south, serves Paris and London: its regulated surroundings are the main point of attention, along with the green gorges of the Vézère and Corrèze rivers nearby.

Economic capital of its basin, Brive lives on food production (foie gras, truffles, violet mustard), industry (Photonis, Silab, Deshors aerospace) and rugby (CA Brive). Common drone missions: agri-food and industrial communication, real estate, construction monitoring, tourism towards Collonges-la-Rouge and the listed villages, agriculture over apple and walnut orchards.

Applicable regulations

Private drone surveillance is only lawful above private property with the site operator's consent: drone surveillance of public roads is reserved for law enforcement under a specific legal framework. Night flights, essential for security work, are prohibited in the open category and require the specific category (an operational authorisation with SORA risk assessment or a suitable scenario). Added to this are French internal-security code obligations for surveillance activities (CNAPS licence for the partner security company) and GDPR: informing site employees, minimising capture, limited retention of recordings. AlphaTango registration, height under 120 m, pilot trained in night thermal operations.

Frequently asked questions

Can a drone monitor the street outside my business?

No: drone image capture of public roads is reserved for the authorities (police, gendarmerie) under a strict legal framework. We only monitor the interior of your property, with the camera angled to exclude public space.

Can the drone fly at night for surveillance?

Yes, but only in the specific category with a suitable operational authorisation, which we hold. Thermal cameras make night detection far more effective than conventional CCTV.

Can the footage serve as evidence in case of intrusion?

Yes, if capture was lawful: flight over your own property, declared system, employees informed. Time-stamped recordings are then admissible and handed to law enforcement if charges are filed.

Can this service be flown anywhere in Brive-la-Gaillarde?

Almost: Abords de l'aéroport de Brive-Vallée de la Dordogne (LFSL). Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
