The Drone Is Already Up.
The Fotokite Sigma+ Rooftop Box mounts directly to the roof of our SUV. One button press and the tethered drone launches autonomously โ no pilot, no crew, no setup. Construction sites make security decisions in 2โ4 weeks, not 18 months. We are ready when you are.
Button-Press Deployment
The Fotokite Sigma+ Rooftop Box mounts to the roof of our SUV and launches autonomously at a single button press. No piloting. No FAA certificate required for the operator. No setup time. Drive to the site and it is live.
Zero Capital Exposure
Sentinel Skies owns and operates the entire platform. The GC signs a month-to-month service agreement. No hardware purchase. No long-term commitment. Cancel with 30 days notice at any project phase change.
Repositions in Minutes
As the active work zone moves โ foundation to framing to finishing โ the SUV drives to the new position. The Fotokite retracts automatically, the vehicle repositions, and it relaunches at the press of a button. No downtime.
Insurance & Theft Documentation
Every incident documented, timestamped, and preserved in Axon Evidence with full chain of custody. Reduces theft losses. Strengthens insurance claims. Protects the GC from liability on every active site.

Four Systems.
One Integrated Picture.
Every component is purpose-selected and deeply integrated โ not a collection of tools, but a unified surveillance platform operating as a single system.
Fotokite Sigma+
Tethered aerial platform with unlimited flight time. Rooftop Box configuration mounts directly to our SUV โ deploys autonomously at the press of a button, no pilot required. Persistent 24/7 elevation with thermal, wide-angle, and optical zoom cameras. All-weather rated.
Rooftop Box ยท Button-Press DeploySkydio X10D
Autonomous response drone launches on AI alert. Navigates obstacles, tracks subjects, and streams live HD video to the COC and responding officers โ all without a pilot.
Autonomous ResponseAxon Fusus AI
Real-time operations platform correlating drone feeds, fixed cameras, body cameras, and GPS into a single unified view. AI filters alert volume to surface only actionable incidents.
Unified IntelligenceSentinel Command COC
Atlanta-based 24/7 Central Operations Command. Trained operators monitor all sites simultaneously. Three 8-hour shifts, 1.4x staffing coverage, 90-second response SLA on every alert.
24/7 Human OversightAxon Evidence
Automatic footage tagging, timestamping, and chain of custody documentation. Satisfies Clery Act reporting requirements without manual logging. CJIS-compliant infrastructure.
Evidence & ComplianceFirstNet Secure Network
Priority cellular backbone with LTE redundancy. Dedicated law enforcement-grade network ensures COC connectivity is never interrupted โ even during high-volume public safety events.
Secure ConnectivityAI Detects.
Humans Decide.
Every response is human-authorized. No automated law enforcement notifications. No automated lockdowns. Technology surfaces the situation โ trained operators make every call.
Fotokite Sigma+ Monitors Continuously
Tethered drone maintains persistent aerial elevation 24/7 from the vehicle rooftop. Onboard AI builds a baseline of normal site activity over the first 30 days, continuously improving detection accuracy. Unlimited flight time โ no batteries, no recharging.
AI Filters & Surfaces Alerts
Axon Fusus AI correlates feeds and surfaces only actionable anomalies โ filtering out routine activity. Hundreds of motion events per day become the handful that actually matter.
COC Operator Verifies & Classifies
Trained operator reviews the alert within 90 seconds. Assigns Level 1โ4 severity. All escalations above Level 1 require human authorization โ no automated action of any kind.
Response Drone Deploys
Skydio X10D launches autonomously, tracks subject, and streams live feed to COC and โ if authorized โ responding officers. Full incident documented in Axon Evidence automatically.
Intelligence That Scales.
Judgment That Stays Human.
A busy site generates hundreds of motion alerts daily. Our AI filters that volume to the incidents that require a trained human response โ and presents them with full context.
Fotokite Sigma+ โ Aerial AI
Onboard computer vision analyzes the aerial feed against a learned baseline. Detects anomalous movement, unauthorized entry, and behavioral patterns. Accuracy improves over the first 30โ60 days as the system learns your site's specific normal.
Skydio โ Autonomous Tracking
AI-powered flight and subject tracking. Once launched, the response drone navigates obstacles and maintains visual contact without a pilot โ keeping the COC operator's attention on coordination, not flying.
Axon Fusus โ Multi-Feed Correlation
Synthesizes drone feeds, fixed cameras, body cameras, and GPS into a single operational picture. Identifies patterns across simultaneous feeds that no individual operator could catch in real time.
Axon Evidence โ Automatic Documentation
Tags footage, generates timestamps, flags relevant clips, and maintains chain of custody automatically โ satisfying Clery Act and federal documentation requirements without manual logging.
"AI detects and screens. Trained humans authorize every response. No automated law enforcement notifications. No automated lockdowns. Human judgment governs every escalation above Level 1."
