Skydio Plugin for Genetec Security Center

The integration of Skydio autonomous drones into Genetec Security Center revolutionizes security management by offering a unique combination of intelligent aerial overwatch and a unified management platform. This plugin enables operators to leverage the advanced capabilities of Skydio drones directly within Security Center to quickly respond to incidents, perform autonomous patrols, and collect critical data in real time.

• Integration of onboard drone cameras: Skydio camera feeds are seamlessly integrated into the Omnicast module of Security Center, allowing high-definition aerial overwatch. These cameras provide real-time visibility, ideal for monitoring sensitive areas, tracking incidents, and collecting visual evidence

• Real-time GPS data: The plugin allows live tracking of drone locations using GPS coordinates integrated into the platform. This information is accessible via an interactive map, enabling operators to monitor movements and optimize routes for specific missions.

• Drone metadata: Users can access critical information such as battery status, temperature, operational status, and technical alerts. This metadata provides a comprehensive view of drone conditions, ensuring safe and efficient use during missions..

• Interactive map-based navigation: Operators can now directly interact with the Security Center map by right-clicking to create markers and send "Go to location" commands. This intuitive feature enables precise drone positioning by sending GPS coordinates from map markers directly to Skydio drones, streamlining incident response and tactical deployment.

• Automatic post-mission video download: Skydio media files are now automatically retrieved and archived from the Skydio cloud, with no operator intervention required. Every flight leaves a video record instantly available in Security Center.

• Incident creation and dispatch to Skydio: Directly from the Genetec map, the operator can create an incident with a single click. The same action can be triggered from a geolocated alarm or event — and can even be made automatic by configuring the desired alarms or events. The incident is then sent to Skydio, and it is the Skydio operator who decides whether or not to dispatch the drone.

• Offline camera management: Skydio cameras are created and maintained in Genetec even when the drone is not in flight — ensuring seamless and permanent integration within the platform.

Thanks to this integration, users can harness the full potential of Skydio drones directly within Genetec Security Center, transforming how they manage security and field operations. This solution represents a major breakthrough for companies seeking to enhance operational efficiency while adopting cutting-edge technologies.
