FAQ on Drones and the technology used, legal and safety. How do we price a job and how is it done
How do you create this Digital Property Wallet?
Drones enable us attach sensors to capture various data points, we then utilize various algorithms and complex data translation to provide actionable analysis.
How do I see the results
We fly, process, analyze and format the results for you to view on-line, or have a 1 page summary report. We create an encrypted secure private web page for you to access, we can store the wallet on encrypted public cloud databases or you can have a zip drive copy. We can always permission users to access the files such as your home insurance inspector or landscape designer, surveyors, architects, building boards, NYC building inspectors
How quickly can I get my report?
With wifi we can get some live coverage however for complex thermal and multispectral analysis it takes significant compute processing and can take several hours or days depending on workload
Can I start with one service and then add to the ‘wallet’?
Yes of course, start with a one-off inspection, check the results and unlock features as you wish. Depending on the wallet service, if our data captured from the original flight includes the same data sets we can unlock further services for the additional fee
Do you have to re-fly the mission to add services?
If the service required is dependent on the original sensor data then no, we can translate this encrypted data for you. Should we require to re-fly the property the price will be significantly reduced as we have the original flight plan
What happens if the quality of my mapping is missing content?
If we make a mistake, we will go and correct it - quality of service, trust and word of mouth is the strength of our business
Will my service date change?
We are extremely dependent on weather and certain light conditions, we constantly monitor the weather and flight notifications and should we agree to re-schedule the deposit is naturally transferred to the new date
Permission to fly
There are very strict airspace restrictions, prior to the job we will assess location compliance and should we be in a restricted zone will apply for a waiver, this can add some time however due to innovative technology can be granted within a short time
Is Dronegrafix licensed, insured and drones registered?
Our commercial drone pilots are FAA Part 107 license holders and flying without would be in violation of federal law. Do not engage a company who does not carry that criteria. Our pilots will when possible will be clearly identified by wearing a high visibility vest
What equipment do you use?
As technology changes so do we, we may use multiple drones and attachments depending on the job requirements
What is Thermal Imaging
A radiometric thermal camera measures the temperature of a surface by interpreting the intensity of an infrared signal reaching the camera. A UAS allows an operator to move and position the thermal camera to quickly make temperature measurements over large areas and in difficult or dangerous environments
What is NDVI?
NDVI stands for Normalised Difference Vegetation Index. When used with drone sensors and agriculture NDVI is the classic indicator of plant health
Do you do wedding photography?
No. Whilst we have extraordinary photographic and video equipment we are commercial inspection specialists. Even though we might have mapped and spent time at your home we are likely to provide an image analysis on the ring rather than capture hugs and kisses
