# External Camera Streaming + Video Wall Layouts Integrate external cameras into FlytBase Video Wall for comprehensive monitoring. ![FlytBase Video Wall interface with external video sources](/files/W9Li2cWsLPBWUJITCU25) *** ## The Problem FlytBase previously displayed only drone video feeds. Operators with existing camera infrastructure (building CCTV, perimeter cameras, or fixed surveillance feeds) had to use separate interfaces to monitor those alongside drone operations. This split view made it harder to maintain full situational awareness during missions. *** ## Feature Introduction FlytBase now supports integrating external fixed cameras into the platform. External video sources appear alongside live drone feeds on the Video Wall. Layout controls allow operators to choose grid sizes, reorder tiles, and spotlight specific feeds. ![Managing external video sources in FlytBase](/files/EfO5fVNmfmQRRpjXU29t) *** ## Why This Matters This integration consolidates all video feeds, drone and fixed camera, into a single interface. Operators monitoring construction sites, industrial facilities, or security perimeters no longer need to switch between systems. Unified visibility reduces response time and simplifies multi-source surveillance workflows. *** ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough **Step 1: Add Cameras Manually** Navigate to **Verkos AI > Site Pointers** and select **Add source**. Enter the camera name, stream URL, and optional coordinates. ![Adding a new external video source](/files/SdX3wBFYVZh8XhJcBTBk) **Step 2: Bulk Add Cameras with CSV Import** For large deployments, prepare a CSV file with camera details and upload it. The system reports any errors encountered during import. **Step 3: Integrate with Milestone XProtect** If using Milestone XProtect, auto-discover and import cameras directly from the VMS server. This simplifies onboarding for organizations already using XProtect. **Step 4: Customize Your Video Wall Layout** Select a grid layout: Auto, 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4. Drag tiles to reorder feeds and spotlight specific cameras to prioritize critical views. **Step 5: Manage and Control Your Cameras** In the **External Video Sources** tab, enable or disable cameras as needed. Configuration settings are preserved when a camera is disabled. *** ## Constraints & Requirements | Component | Details | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Stream Types | RTSP, RTSPS, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, HLS | | Capacity | Up to 100 cameras per organization | | Camera Credentials | Optional per camera; stored encrypted | | SRT Addresses | Must include a port number | | HLS Addresses | Must point at an `.m3u8` playlist | | VMS Integration | Milestone XProtect (requires API Gateway address and basic user) | | Video Wall Layouts | Auto, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 | | Layout Persistence | Remembered per browser, not per account | *** ## Access External camera streaming and Video Wall layouts are available to organizations with the `external_video_sources` feature flag enabled. Contact your FlytBase product or engineering team to activate the flag. This feature is available on request and is not enabled by default. # Enhanced API Access Discover the streamlined and secure API authentication with FlytBase's Enhanced API Access. API authentication on FlytBase previously required multiple steps to obtain access tokens. The process was error-prone, and managing API keys meant switching between external tools and the FlytBase dashboard. *** ## Feature Introduction Enhanced API Access simplifies how external services authenticate with FlytBase. This update adopts OAuth 2.0 for token exchange, reduces the number of steps to obtain API access tokens, and adds direct API key management from the FlytBase dashboard. ![FlytBase API access settings](/files/H24SknBpv7iAZ3DdtL1h) *** ## How It Works ### Improved Authentication Flow The new authentication flow uses OAuth 2.0 standards for secure, standardized token exchange. API keys can be created, rotated, and revoked directly from the FlytBase dashboard. No external tools are needed. ![API keys management interface](/files/gjNZgTIMa79aO24Zwh44) ### Security Enhancements API keys and tokens use enhanced encryption methods to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Key expiration dates are visible in the dashboard, and key rotation can be done without downtime. ![How API keys work](/files/R2Ib25a8ZRjt0BtcgrJ4) ### Transition from Classic Access Classic Access settings are being deprecated. Enhanced Access provides stronger encryption, a standardized OAuth 2.0 flow, and centralized key management. Existing Classic Access users should migrate to Enhanced Access. ![Deprecated Classic Access settings](/files/dSpISc4qV59mhX3u0WNl) *** ## Why This Matters Simpler authentication reduces integration errors. Centralized key management means fewer security gaps. OAuth 2.0 compliance makes FlytBase compatible with standard API integration workflows used across enterprise environments. ![Migration details comparison](/files/uJ88a7zi0m4auPo7SeKY) *** ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough **Step 1: Access the FlytBase Dashboard** Log in to the FlytBase dashboard. Verify that your account has permissions to manage API keys and access tokens. **Step 2: Manage API Keys** Navigate to the API Keys section. View existing keys, their statuses, and expiration dates. Select **Create API Key** to generate a new key. ![API keys management interface](/files/gjNZgTIMa79aO24Zwh44) **Step 3: Understand How API Keys Work** Review the modal that explains the process of creating, sending, and using API keys in requests. ![How API keys work](/files/R2Ib25a8ZRjt0BtcgrJ4) **Step 4: Use Client Credentials for Access Tokens** For server-to-server communication, use client credentials to obtain access tokens. Follow the steps in the modal to send credentials and receive tokens. ![How client credentials work](/files/aTboIy3F6w2YIzkSykir) **Step 5: Transition from Classic Access** If migrating from Classic Access, review the migration details and security improvements before switching. ![Migration details comparison](/files/uJ88a7zi0m4auPo7SeKY) *** ## Constraints & Requirements | Component | Details | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Authentication Protocol | OAuth 2.0 | | Security Features | Enhanced encryption for API keys and tokens | | Dashboard Integration | Direct API key management | *** ## Access Enhanced API Access is available to all FlytBase users. To enable this feature, contact FlytBase support through the official website. Ensure your account has the permissions required to manage API keys and tokens. For migration assistance from Classic Access, reach out to your Technical Account Manager or . # Smoother, Faster Live Flight View Enhance real-time drone monitoring with smoother, faster live flight views. ![Real-time drone flight view on FlytBase platform](/files/3NgxcBM9PNF6Xcv5MWCP) ## The Problem The cockpit display on FlytBase had a noticeable lag between the drone's actual position and what appeared on screen. When the drone turned or changed altitude, the display took time to catch up. This delay reduced situational awareness and made real-time decision-making harder, especially during inspections or time-sensitive operations. *** ## Feature Introduction This update increases the refresh rate for the drone's position, speed, altitude, and camera view on the cockpit display. The display now tracks the drone's movements more closely, reducing the gap between actual and displayed state. * **Real-Time Mapping**: The drone icon on the map moves smoothly, reflecting real-time position changes. * **Live Data Updates**: Speed, altitude, and heading update in near real-time. * **Reduced Latency**: The display feels more responsive, closer to watching the drone directly. *** ## Why This Matters Reduced display latency improves all real-time monitoring tasks: single-drone inspections, fleet-wide surveillance, and emergency response. Faster position updates let operators react sooner to course deviations, obstacle proximity, or mission anomalies. *** ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough **Step 1: Contact FlytBase** Contact your FlytBase representative or support team to enable the feature for your account. **Step 2: Experience Real-Time Updates** Once activated, open the cockpit display. The drone's position, speed, altitude, and camera view update at a higher refresh rate. **Step 3: Monitor Drone Operations** Use the improved real-time data for operational monitoring. The reduced lag is most noticeable during active flight maneuvers and turns. *** ## Constraints & Requirements | Component | Details | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Map Display | Real-time position updates for smoother tracking | | Data Refresh Rate | Increased frequency for speed, altitude, and heading updates | | User Action | Activation required through FlytBase contact; no additional setup needed | *** ## Access Contact your FlytBase representative or support team to enable the feature. Once activated, no additional setup is required. The improved refresh rate applies automatically to the cockpit display. # Flight Logs Filter Bar Simplify flight log audits with the new Flight Logs Filter Bar. Auditing flight logs on FlytBase required navigating through multiple dropdowns and side panels to filter by time, site, drone, or personnel. Identifying who was flying or controlling the payload on a specific mission took several clicks and was not intuitive. *** ## Introducing the Flight Logs Filter Bar The Flight Logs Filter Bar consolidates all filtering into a single, sentence-style interface. Instead of navigating separate panels, fill in blanks to filter by time, site, mission, drone, dock, and personnel. ![Flight Logs filter bar interface](/files/y1m40ZjQzRw1PWHsZ7ET) Three new personnel filters address common audit questions: who launched the flight, who was the pilot-in-command, and who operated the camera and gimbal. *** ## Why This Matters Each filter option shows a count of matching flights before selection. Options that return zero results are dimmed, preventing empty searches. The "any" and "together" modifiers allow filtering for flights where multiple personnel were involved, either in any role or simultaneously. *** ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough **Step 1: Access the Flight Logs Page** Open the FlytBase Operations web app and navigate to the Flight Logs page. The filter bar is displayed at the top. **Step 2: Start Filtering** Select the blanks in the filter bar. Options for time, site, mission, drone, dock, and personnel are searchable. **Step 3: Use the New Personnel Filters** Select **Launched by** to filter by who started the flight. Use **Drone controlled by** and **Payload controlled by** for pilot and camera operator filtering. ![Launched by filter in use](/files/gcpEvfSCS0verRY2a1Yg) **Step 4: Set Time Windows** Choose a predefined period (today, yesterday, last 2, 7, 30, or 60 days) or set a custom date range. **Step 5: Apply Filters and Review Results** Filters apply automatically. A progress bar indicates loading; other data remains accessible during this time. *** ## Constraints & Requirements | Component | Details | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Interface | Sentence-style with clickable blanks | | New Filters | Launched by, Drone controlled by, Payload controlled by | | Time Window Options | Today, yesterday, last 2, 7, 30, 60 days, or custom date range | | Multi-select Capability | Available for all blanks except time window and media status | | Immediate Availability | Live for all organizations, no feature flag required | | Progress Indicator | Thin progress bar replaces full-page spinner during filter application | *** ## Access The Flight Logs Filter Bar is available to every organization and user with Flight Logs access. It is already live. No feature flag or activation is required. # SafeSky Integration: Real-Time Air Traffic Awareness for Drone Operations Enhance drone operations with real-time air traffic awareness through SafeSky Integration. ![FlytBase interface with globe and airspace intelligence](/files/mrzP7kE5n2z7QCqLuIFZ) ## The Problem Imagine you're managing a fleet of drones tasked with inspecting thermal wells or maintaining infrastructure across a sprawling industrial site. As these operations become more autonomous and remotely managed, the airspace becomes a shared environment with crewed aircraft, helicopters, and other drones. The challenge? You lack visibility into this airspace, and the pilots above have no idea your drones are buzzing below. This mutual blind spot isn't just inconvenient-it's a safety risk. *** ## Feature Introduction Enter the SafeSky Integration, a Flink that brings real-time cooperative air traffic awareness right into your FlytBase interface. This integration allows you to see nearby air traffic, including general aviation aircraft, helicopters, gliders, and more, directly on your FlytBase map. Plus, it makes your drone operations visible to crewed aircraft through the SafeSky ecosystem, enhancing mutual awareness and safety. * **Seeing Nearby Air Traffic**: With SafeSky, you can access live cooperative air traffic information on your FlytBase map. Whether you're monitoring a maintenance shed or overseeing a remote inspection, you can switch between a full-map view or focus on a 20 km area around a selected dock. Separate airborne traffic from other contacts and see when traffic information was last refreshed. * **Being Seen by Crewed Aircraft**: Your drone operations aren't just visible to you. Through the SafeSky ecosystem, they become visible to nearby crewed aircraft. This information is available within the SafeSky application and through more than 15 compatible Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and cockpit navigation solutions used by pilots across Europe. * **Flyt-Sense Alerts**: Flyt-Sense enhances your situational awareness by highlighting aircraft that enter caution and critical zones around your operations. Get clear visual indications of potential conflicts, so you can act before they become issues. * **Connected Drone Ecosystem**: By joining the SafeSky Network, your operations become part of a broader connected drone ecosystem. This integration enables greater awareness and coordination between operators using different technologies, making the airspace safer for everyone. * **BVLOS and Regulatory Support**: Enhanced awareness of cooperative traffic supports your Air Risk Mitigation strategy within the SORA framework, crucial for safely executing advanced Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) missions. ![FlytBase interface showing air traffic](/files/qOTIdq3VHdnJCNJwNCt4) *** ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough **Step 1: Access the SafeSky Integration** Navigate to **FlytBase > Flinks** and select the SafeSky Integration.

Security monitoring wants the video front and center. Inspection work needs the map and the feed together. Previous cockpit layouts gave you one arrangement for everything. Cockpit 3.0 is a configurable workspace. The map, live video, telemetry, instruments, and controls are all movable and configurable as per the pilot — resize panels, float windows anywhere on screen, swap what's in the spotlight. Set it up once; it persists across sessions and devices. This is the command center for single-drone docked operations.

Introducting Cockpit 3.0

Cockpit 3.0 Layout

{% hint style="warning" %} **Compatible with DJI Dock 2 and DJI Dock 3.** The new layout is not compatible for operations with DJI Dock 1 and RC-controlled DJI Enterprise Drones. These Devices shall not appear in the Cockpit device picker. {% endhint %} ### Enabling Cockpit 3.0 To enable Cockpit 3.0, go to **Platform Settings**, select **General**, scroll down to **Cockpit version**, and select **Cockpit 3.0 from the drop-down menu**.

Enabling Cockpit 3.0 from Platform Settings

### What's in Cockpit 3.0 #### Device Picker Cockpit 3.0 allows operators to search for the Dock-Drone they wish to control and monitor using a Device Picker tab. Within the Device Picker drop-down, each card shows Device status (offline/online/active), Site, battery, latency, speed, altitude, and RTK/GPS fix — before you enter the cockpit for the specific Dock-Drone. You can filter by Site or search by name. Active and Armed drones are automatically moved to the top of the list.

Device Picker with active Dock-Drone on top of the list

#### Configurable Layout Cockpit 3.0 introduces a dedicated **View Mode switcher** with three distinct modes, and each mode independently saves its own layout so your arrangement is always waiting for you when you switch back. | Mode | Primary display | | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Split | Map and video side by side | | Video | Video fills the screen; map as picture-in-picture | | Map | Map fills the screen; video feeds collected in a floating window |

Cockpit Layout Mode

Within each Mode, the **floating panels can be moved and resized**. In **Split view**, swap the positions of the Map, Video, and Feeds panels using **Edit Layout**. Moreover, any camera feed can be set to primary by selecting the **Swap to Primary** button. ### Video and Cameras FPV, Payload, and Dock feeds can now be viewed simultaneously. On the Payload feed, users can switch between wide, zoom, and thermal lenses using the lens switcher. The active lens and zoom level are shown as a badge on the video

Payload Controls in Spilt View

Photo capture and video recording are supported, including Single, Panorama, and Night Light modes. A storage indicator displays remaining capacity, and the video border flashes to confirm each capture. Payload accessories, including the Speaker, Spotlight, and gas sensor, can be controlled directly from the video interface. A Video Status chip indicates stream health as OK, Degraded, Bad, or Lost, with additional details for latency, bitrate, resolution, and freeze time. ### Flight Actions Cockpit 3.0 brings the main flight actions into the same operating screen. Operators can launch Path and Grid Missions, send the drone to a Go To Location, use Point of Interest on supported Dock 3 setups, and create repeatable routes through Live Mission Recording.

Flight Actions

**Mission** workflows let operators browse, filter, launch, and resume planned missions from inside Cockpit. **Go To Location** lets operators send the drone to a selected point on the map or to entered coordinates, with configurable altitude and speed values. **Point of Interest,** available on supported Dock 3 operations, lets the drone orbit a selected point while keeping the camera focused on it. **Live Mission Recording** lets operators fly manually and capture waypoints during the flight. The recorded path can then be saved as a repeatable mission for future use. Together, these workflows make Cockpit 3.0 more than a viewing screen. It becomes the place where operators can monitor, decide, and act. ### Manual Controls and Key Bindings Cockpit 3.0 gives operators more flexibility in how they control the drone and payload. Keyboard controls, gamepad inputs, and Thrustmaster joystick controls can be mapped based on user preference. Operators can configure movement controls, gimbal controls, camera actions, zoom, lens switching, and safety commands in a way that matches their operating style. For added control safety, external attached peripheral input can also be disabled. When this is turned on, commands from connected keyboard, gamepad, or Thrustmaster devices do not reach the drone for drone control or payload control.

Manual Flight Control Input and Enable/Disable button

A built-in 3D flight simulator in the Key Bindings screen lets you test any control configuration — including remaps — before it reaches a real drone.

3D Flight Simulator to confirm Key Bindings

#### Alarms and Live Mission Recorder **Alarms:** external alarms from connected sensors appear in a dedicated panel with source, severity (Low/Medium/High), and response type. Send a drone to respond manually — select the drone, review the action, launch — without leaving the cockpit.

Right Side Bar

**Live Mission Recording** is built in: fly manually and capture waypoints as you go to create a repeatable mission without separate planning. ### Settings, Dock Control, and Guest Sharing Cockpit 3.0 also reduces the need to move between different parts of the platform during an active operation. Device Settings, Device Maintenance, and Platform Settings that were earlier managed from separate tabs can now be accessed directly from inside Cockpit.

Platform Settings in Cockpit 3.0

**Operator preferences:** Language, Units, Sound Notifications (per alert type), Manual Control sensitivity, Key Bindings can be configured. **Device settings:** RTH/GTSA/Max altitudes, Max distance, Collision Avoidance, GTL defaults, AI recording trigger, and media/streaming behavior. **Dock Overview and Remote Maintenance:** live dock status (GPS/RTK, temperature, humidity, HVAC, wind, power, network) and direct hardware controls (enclosure, charging rods, heater/cooler, silent mode, RTK calibration, storage, restart) — with safety locks when the drone is armed. **Guest share:** generate a secure live-view link for people outside the platform. Set validity period, optional email verification, and authorized email restrictions. Share via link, QR code, or email.

# Verkos Detect Anything Agents Updates ### **Perception Awareness** Verkos now checks whether your camera lens, altitude, time of day, and other operating conditions are right for the detections you have set up, and tells you what to change when they are not. You will see this at the agent configuration stage, during Live Mission Recording as you capture waypoints, and during live flights if conditions shift. By the time you save a mission, you know it will produce results you can trust every time it runs.
### **Site Pointers** Verkos now lets you correct the agent when it gets something wrong at your site. Mark what the agent misidentified once, and Verkos saves that correction to the exact spot where it happened. Every future flight that passes through that location applies the correction automatically. The more you use it, the sharper the agent gets at your site and the closer you get to a clean, trustworthy alert stream.
### **Smarter Detection Event Configuration** Setting up an agent is now faster and clearer. Detection events are organized into Security, Inspection, and Incident categories so you can find what you need without scanning through a long list. You can see at a glance what is on, what is off, and when each event is scheduled to run. If any event is set to run at a time it cannot perform reliably, Verkos flags it before the mission goes live.
# Baseline Images for Accurate State-Change Detection ### **A Gate Is Not One Shape** "Gate" is a label, not a description. The gate at your north perimeter is a sliding chain-link panel on a track. The one at the loading bay is a steel roller shutter. The one at the executive entrance is a wrought-iron swing pair on hinged posts. They share a word and almost nothing else: different materials, different mechanisms, different patterns of what "open" and "closed" look like in a frame. An agent told to watch for "gate open" has the word, not the gate. It knows the category but not the object: * Not which gate is on your site * Not what it's made of * Not how it sits when closed * Not what counts as a meaningful change in frame The same is true of doors, shutters, hatches, and any other asset whose state only registers as a change against a known starting point. The agent needs a reference of the specific object on your site. That's what baseline images are.
### **Baseline Reference Images** For state-change events like gate open, door propped open, and similar, Verkos now requires the operator to attach one or more baseline images that show the asset in its normal state. The agent uses these as a reference and only fires an alert when the live frame differs from the baseline. A few things to know about how baselines work: * Images come from the FlytBase gallery, existing flight imagery from your site * The GPS location of each image is read automatically and used to scope where the comparison logic activates * This is an event-level configuration. It applies only to events that need it * Behavioral and incident events that already work from a single frame like perimeter breach, armed threat, vandalism are unchanged ### **How It Works** State-change events are gated on baseline configuration. When you toggle one of these events on for the first time, the image picker opens automatically. You cannot enable the event without attaching at least one image.
The picker pulls from your gallery. You can filter by site, by date, and by tags. Images without GPS metadata appear in the picker but cannot be selected. The location data is what tells the agent where to apply the comparison.
You can attach multiple images to a single event. This is the intended pattern when an event applies across multiple physical locations on a site: three loading-bay doors, two perimeter gates, a rear access point. Each image's GPS location becomes its own activation zone. ### **What Counts as a Good Baseline** The baseline must capture the asset in its normal state, the state you don't want to be alerted about. For "gate open," attach images of the gate closed. For "door propped open," attach images of the door in its closed, latched position. Beyond that: * The baseline should be taken from a similar altitude and angle to where the drone will fly during the mission. A nadir shot won't help if the drone passes at oblique angles * Lighting matters. A baseline captured in bright daylight will produce noisier comparisons against a dawn or dusk frame. For sites that need round-the-clock coverage, attach baselines from multiple times of day * Capture the asset cleanly. A reference image where half the gate is occluded by a parked vehicle is a worse baseline than one where the gate is unobstructed
### **Which Events Require Baselines** At launch, baselines are required for state-change events across multiple agents. Pre-built behavioral, threat, and incident events do not require baselines and are configured the same way as before. **Custom scenarios added through the "Ask AI to search for" field do not currently support baseline images.** If you describe a custom state-change event there, it will run without a reference. # Site Pointers: Teach Verkos Detect Anything Agent What It Gets Wrong at Your Site **The Problem With AI That Doesn't Know Your Site** The system that flies a site on day one runs it the same way a year later. Meanwhile, the operator running it has spent that year learning every nuance of the ground. Some of that knowledge never makes it into the model: * A water-filled well gives off the same thermal signature as a shallow pond at night * A maintenance shed can share the same outline as a parked vehicle from drone altitude * Structures specific to your site don't appear in any general training dataset, so Verkos matches them to whatever they most resemble, and fires an alert The operator dismisses it. The next flight, it fires again. Every flight after that, same thing. The false detection never stops because there's no way to put what the operator knows back into the system. Site knowledge stays trapped in their head. The AI doesn't get sharper. The alert stream stays noisy. Site Pointers closes that gap. {% embed url="" %} **A Feedback Channel That Goes Directly Into the Model** When Verkos Detect Anything reads a site object wrong, you now have a direct way to correct it. Open the image, draw a bounding box around the misclassified object, label what it actually is, and save. That correction binds to the GPS position of the source image and applies on every future flight that passes within a 100 m radius of that spot. The teaching takes a moment. The result carries forward permanently, no retraining, no support ticket, no one outside your team. You'll find Site Pointers as a new tab on the Verkos AI page, alongside Smart Missions and Agents. **How the Correction Generalizes** Each pointer is geographically scoped to a 100 m radius around the GPS position of the source image. Within that radius, Verkos applies the correction regardless of how the drone arrived there: * Waypoint missions * Go To Location * Manual flights * Any future mission type that brings a drone through the area
**Adding a Pointer** **Step 1: Open Site Pointers and click Add Pointer** Navigate to **Verkos AI → Site Pointers**, then click **+ Add pointer** in the top right.
**Step 2: Select the site and pick an image** Choose the site from the dropdown. The image picker shows past detections from the Verkos Detect Anything agent at that site, grouped by date and location. A few things to know about the picker: * Only images the agent has already analyzed appear here * You cannot upload your own images or pull in images from outside Verkos * Images are grouped by date and location for easier navigation Pick the image where the agent got something wrong. **Step 3: Confirm what the agent detected, draw what it actually is** The **Detected Event** panel auto-fills with the original AI label from that image (e.g., "Industrial Towers"). Below it: * Drag a bounding box around the object the agent misread * Type a short label for what it actually is (e.g., "Green silos") * Use the **Redraw** button to redo the box if your first attempt was off
**Step 4: Confirm the agent and save** In the **Tell us what the agent got wrong** section, select the agent the correction should apply to (Verkos Detect Anything). Add optional notes for your team's audit trail (e.g., "Please do not detect green silos"). Click **Save feedback**. The pointer is now active. From the next flight onward, when any drone on this site passes within 100 m of the GPS position where the source image was captured, Verkos applies the correction.
**Constraints & Requirements** | Constraint | Detail | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Image source | Only past detections from the Verkos Detect Anything agent at the selected site appear in the picker. Normal drone-captured images cannot be selected. | | Geographic scope | Each pointer applies within a 100 m radius of the GPS position where the source image was captured. | # Smarter Detection Event Configuration for Verkos Detect Anything Agent ### **The Problem With One Big List** In the previous Verkos experience, every detection event inside an agent lived in a single flat list. A solar farm operator opening the Solar Farm Management Agent saw one continuous scroll mixing perimeter intrusion, panel soiling, vegetation overgrowth, wildlife activity, and mounting structure corrosion together. No grouping, no hierarchy, no way to tell at a glance what the agent was actually built to monitor. Two problems followed from this: * Discovery suffered. Operators had to read through every event to understand what an agent could do * Configuration was coarser than the operation needed. Inspection events depend on visible-light conditions; running them at night produces unreliable detections. Security events run 24/7. Forcing both into one schedule meant either accepting noise from inspection events at night or losing security coverage during the day Detection Events fixes both. {% embed url="" %} ### **Grouped, Visual, and Independently Scheduled** Detection Events is the new way of browsing and configuring what an agent watches for. Events are now organized into categories and themes, each with its own visual tile. And for the first time, each theme can run on its own time window, independent of every other theme on the same agent. **Categories** Events inside each agent are now organized into three categories: * **Security** — events related to unauthorized access, behavioral patterns, threats, and intrusion * **Inspection** — events related to asset condition, defects, environmental hazards, and equipment state * **Incident** — events related to emergencies, hazards, and operational anomalies requiring immediate response
Not every agent uses every category. A Refinery Inspection agent may have a heavy Inspection and Incident presence with limited Security. A General Security agent is Security-dominant. The categories visible on each agent reflect what that agent is built to monitor. ### **Themes** Inside each category, related events are grouped into themes and presented as visual tiles. A theme is a coherent monitoring objective. The events inside it are the specific things the agent looks for to fulfill that objective. For example, on the Solar Farm Management Agent, the Inspection category includes themes like Panel defect monitoring, Panel soiling monitoring, Vegetation overgrowth monitoring, Water ponding monitoring, Wildlife activity monitoring, and Mounting structure condition monitoring. Each tile shows its current state at a glance: * **Status**: All on, partial (e.g., "1 of 2 on"), or Off * **Active hours**: "Active 24/7" or a configured window like "Active 9:15 AM - 6 PM" * **Conflict indicator**: A "Time window conflict" warning if the configured hours fall outside the conditions the theme is designed for
Click any tile to open its configuration panel. ## **Per-Theme Time Windows** Each theme can now be scheduled independently using the **Run only during these hours** control in the theme panel.
When the toggle is off, the theme runs whenever the agent is on (24/7). When it's on, the theme is only active during the configured window. A single agent can now run security themes around the clock and inspection themes only during daylight, without the operator having to start and stop the agent manually. ### **How Time Windows Interact With Manual Control** Configured hours apply when the agent is started automatically by a mission. Two things to keep in mind: * If an operator manually turns the agent on from the cockpit during a flight, all enabled themes run regardless of their configured hours * A manual restart mid-mission also overrides hours for the rest of that mission Time windows are guardrails for scheduled, unattended operations. When an operator is in the cockpit making real-time decisions, the system trusts them. ### **Time Window Conflict Warning** Some themes have conditions under which they reliably produce useful detections, and others where they don't. A visible-light inspection theme like Panel soiling monitoring depends on daylight. Running it at 2 AM produces unreliable results. When a configured window falls outside what a theme is designed for, the panel and the tile both surface a Time window conflict warning.
The warning does not block the configuration. The agent will still run the theme during the window the operator sets. The warning exists to make the trade-off visible. If you've configured an inspection theme to run partly at night, you should know that detection accuracy will degrade in those hours and decide whether that's acceptable. # One-to-Many Console for One-to-Many Operations: Direct Launch, Smart Visibility, and Performance at Scale {% embed url="" %} One-to-many drone operations, where a single operator flies multiple drones at the same time, is one of the most demanding workflows in autonomous drone software. Every second the operator spends managing the dashboard is a second pulled away from situational awareness and tactical decision-making. At ten or twenty active drones, the cost of routine interface work adds up into real operational risk. This update positions FlytBase One-to-Many Console as a purpose-built one-to-many operations dashboard. Four capability areas work together to keep operators focused on what's happening in the field rather than on managing the interface: direct launch controls, automated visibility management, pin rotation, and a performance mode for high feed counts. ### Direct Launch Controls Mission launch, Go-to-Location, and alarm response are now available directly from the One-to-Many Console table. Operators can select drones in the dashboard and dispatch them without leaving the multi-drone overview. #### Launch Missions on Selected Drones Select one or more drones from the One-to-Many Console table and assign a mission. The mission selector and pre-flight confirmations open in-place against the live dashboard, not as a full-page transition. The fleet table stays visible throughout, so operators retain situational awareness over all active drones while configuring the launch.
#### Send Drones to a Location Issue a Go-to-Location command to selected drones directly from One-to-Many Console. Pick the destination on the map, confirm, and the drones are dispatched to that point. No context switch needed.
#### Respond to Alarms The alarm panel is available alongside the fleet table. Operators can assign an unconfigured alarm to a drone and dispatch that drone via mission or Go-to-Location, all without leaving One-to-Many Console. The multi-drone overview stays on screen throughout alarm triage, so operators never lose visibility of the rest of the fleet while responding to an event. For one-to-many operators, this is the difference between staying with their fleet during a launch decision and losing context every time a drone needs to be sent somewhere.
#### What One-to-Many Console Supports for Each Device Type One-to-Many Console displays both docked drones and non-docked drones. The operations available for each device type reflect platform-level capabilities, not anything specific to One-to-Many Console. | Capability | Docked Drones | Non-Docked Drones | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------- | ----------------- | | View in Fleet table, map, and video grid | ✅ | ✅ | | Mission launch | ✅ | ❌ | | Go-to-Location | ✅ | ❌ | | Alarm response | ✅ | ❌ | | Safety actions (Stop, RTH, RTSL) | ✅ | ❌ | Non-docked drones do not support mission launch, Go-to-Location, alarm response, or safety actions anywhere in FlytBase. In One-to-Many Console, these controls are disabled when a non-docked drone is selected. The One-to-Many Console experience for non-docked drones is full visibility: telemetry, video feeds, and map position. ### Automated Visibility: Auto-Rotation Between Sections The One-to-Many Console table has three sections: Pinned, Visible, and Hidden. The Visible section drives what's shown on the map and in the video feed grid. Drones in this section have their positions plotted and their feeds streamed. The Hidden section holds drones that aren't currently the operator's focus. For a one-to-many operator, the relevant set of drones changes constantly. A drone takes off, becomes flight-critical, lands, and falls out of attention. Manually moving rows between sections to keep the map and feeds aligned with reality is exactly the kind of interface work that pulls focus from the field. Auto-rotation handles this automatically. Two dropdowns let operators define which drones should appear in the Visible section based on their current state.
| Criterion | Behavior | | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Armed | Drone moves to Visible when it takes off (in-air state). Returns to Hidden when it lands. | | Online | Drone moves to Visible when it connects (powered and reachable). Returns to Hidden when it disconnects. | When both criteria are enabled, a drone moves to Visible if it meets either condition. The result is that the Visible section, the map view, and the video feed grid all stay aligned with what's actually happening in the field, without the operator needing to touch the table. ### Pin Rotation: Cycling Focus Across Active Drones The Pin function focuses the dashboard on a single drone. The map recenters and follows that drone, and all of its video feeds become available, including the main camera, dock camera, and auxiliary feeds. Pin rotation cycles this focus automatically across the Visible section. Set a rotation interval, and FlytBase moves each drone in the Visible section into the Pinned position for that duration before moving to the next. With five drones in the Visible section and a 30-second interval, each drone gets a focused review every two and a half minutes, without the operator clicking anything.
Intervals are selectable up to 5 minutes. Choose based on how long you need to assess each drone's state. Shorter intervals work well for active monitoring, and longer ones are better for sustained observation. Pin rotation pairs naturally with auto-rotation. The Visible section stays current with what's flying, and pin rotation cycles attention across that current set. Together they address the two hardest interface problems in one-to-many operations: keeping the dashboard focused on active devices, and giving each device sustained operator attention without manual cycling. ### Filtering and Search Filtering and search in the One-to-Many Console table let operators narrow the table down to only the drones relevant to a specific situation. Combined with auto-rotation, filtering gives operators a precise scope of devices for the dashboard to manage and rotate through. Filters are available across the key dimensions in the One-to-Many Console table. Applied filters persist through the session, so operators can set their scope once and stay focused on it. ### Performance Mode: Standard and Optimised One-to-many operations push the dashboard hardest on the video pipeline. Eight, twelve, or twenty live feeds at once is a real load on the front end, and at some point the trade-off between feed smoothness and overall dashboard responsiveness becomes worth thinking about.
Two performance modes are available: | Mode | Frame Rate | When to Use | | --------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Standard | 30 FPS | Default. Best video smoothness for monitoring critical operations. | | Optimized | 15 FPS | Reduces front-end load. Use when monitoring many feeds or when the dashboard feels sluggish. | The toggle is in the video feed section of the dashboard. Optimized mode keeps every feed live at half the frame rate. For dashboards displaying many concurrent feeds, this typically means smoother table interactions, faster map updates, and reduced browser memory pressure, without losing visibility on any drone. # See Your Mission in Context: Launch Flow Moves to the Side Panel
Launching a mission used to mean losing sight of everything else. The dialog modal opened in the middle of the screen with a small embedded mini-map that showed only the mission's waypoints, no zones, no other active drones, no annotations, no dock location. Operators reviewing a mission against the wider operational picture had to launch from memory or close the dialog, check the map, and start again. The new Panel launch flow moves the mission and Go To Location launches from the center modal to a right side panel, keeping the main map fully visible throughout. When you select a mission, the main map re-centers and zooms to the mission area, so the waypoints appear in context with the zones, annotations, dock, and other active drones already on your map. ### What Changed The launch workflow now has two options: * Dialog - the existing center-screen modal flow. Mini-map embedded inside the modal.
* Panel - the new right side panel flow. Main map stays visible and re-centers on the mission.
Both flows cover the same launches: missions and Go To Location. The mechanical steps - selecting the mission or dropping the GTL marker, configuring parameters, working through the pre-flight checklist, hitting Launch, are the same in both. What changes is where the workflow lives on screen and what you can see while you work through it. ### Why the Panel Flow Matters for Mission Launches The clearest operational difference shows up when launching a mission. In the Dialog flow, the embedded mini-map shows only the mission waypoints, stripped of every other map layer. You can see the path the drone will fly, but not what it will fly past, over, or near. In the Panel flow, the main map handles the visualization. When you select a mission from the right panel, the map re-centers and zooms to the mission area while keeping every layer you already have on the map: no-fly zones, restricted areas, custom annotations, dock locations, other docked drones currently in the air. You're reviewing the mission against your actual operational picture, not a stripped-down preview.
For Go To Location launches, both flows behave similarly - you're already looking at the map when you drop the marker, so the mission-area zoom isn't relevant. The Panel flow simply moves the parameter configuration and checklist from the left panel (Dialog flow) to the right panel.
### How to Switch The launch flow setting is per-user. Each operator chooses their own preference; switching it doesn't affect anyone else on your team. Path: Settings → General → Launch Flow Two options: * Dialog (existing flow) * Panel (new flow)
{% hint style="info" %} Preference changes do not automatically apply to your current Operations session. After switching to **Panel View**, refresh the Operations dashboard (browser refresh, **F5**, or the reload button) for the new panel to take effect. {% endhint %} ### Defaults * Existing users: Default remains Dialog. The Panel flow is available immediately - switch when you're ready. * New users and new organizations: Default is Panel. The Dialog flow will be retired in a future release. A specific timeline isn't set yet, but Panel is the direction the launch workflow is moving. Operators who switch now will be on the flow that's becoming standard. # AirData Integration: Automatic Flight Log Sync ### The Manual Logging Problem Operators using AirData for compliance records, maintenance tracking, and pilot analytics have been doing the same routine for every flight: open the flight logs page in FlytBase, download each log file, switch to AirData, upload it, fill in the pilot and aircraft details, save. For a fleet running multiple flights a day across multiple pilots, this becomes a meaningful daily tax — and any flight that gets skipped means a gap in the compliance record. The AirData Flink eliminates that workflow. As soon as a drone lands, FlytBase syncs the flight log to AirData automatically. The flight appears in your AirData dashboard with the correct pilot already attributed, ready for analysis, maintenance triggers, and audit reports. If you're not already familiar with AirData, it's a flight log management and fleet analytics platform widely used for regulatory compliance, maintenance scheduling, pilot performance, and battery health tracking. More at[ airdata.com](https://airdata.com/). *** ### How the Automatic Sync Works Every flight conducted through FlytBase generates a flight log on landing — this happens regardless of how the flight was initiated. Docked drone flights, non-docked drone flights, scheduled missions, manually triggered flights, alarm-triggered responses, Go To Location flights — all of them produce a log. With the AirData Flink connected, that log is pushed to AirData immediately after landing. The flight appears in your AirData account attributed to the pilot who flew it, with no manual upload step. For attribution to work, FlytBase needs to know which AirData pilot corresponds to each FlytBase user. That's what pilot mapping handles.
*** ### Pilot Mapping Each pilot in AirData has a unique AirData Pilot Token. Inside the AirData Flink configuration in FlytBase, there's a pilot mapping tab where you link each FlytBase user to their AirData Pilot Token. Once a pilot is mapped, every future flight by that pilot syncs automatically with the correct attribution. If a pilot isn't mapped when they fly: the auto-sync for that flight will fail. The flight log still exists in FlytBase, and once you add the mapping, you can manually push that flight to AirData using the workflow below. Auto-sync does not retry historical flights after a mapping is added.
*** ### Manual Sync from Flight Logs For flights that didn't sync automatically — usually because the pilot wasn't mapped yet — you can push them to AirData from the flight logs page. Step 1: Open the flight logs page and select the flight you want to sync. Step 2: Click Share to Flink. Step 3: In the share dialog, select AirData from the available Flinks. Step 4: Confirm the sync. The flight is pushed to AirData with the mapped pilot's attribution. If the pilot for that flight still isn't mapped, the manual sync will also fail — map the pilot first, then retry.
*** ### Flight Coverage Auto-sync runs for any flight that produces a flight log in FlytBase. This includes: * Docked drone flights (Dock 1, Dock 2, Dock 3) * Non-docked drone flights * Scheduled missions * Manually triggered missions * Alarm-triggered response flights * Go To Location flights If a flight log is generated, it syncs. *** ### Setting Up the Integration Setup is a two-step process. 1. Open the AirData Flink in your FlytBase organization settings and toggle it on 2. Open the pilot mapping tab and add AirData Pilot Tokens for your pilots Once enabled and mapped, auto-sync runs in the background for every subsequent flight. Most teams set this up once and operate in fire-and-forget mode from then on.
*** ### Availability Available now for all FlytBase organizations. Toggle the AirData Flink on under your organization's Flinks settings and add pilot mappings to start syncing. An active AirData account is required. You'll need each pilot's AirData Pilot Token to complete pilot mapping — these are available within each pilot's profile in AirData.
# Smart Missions: Automatic Detection on Every Mission Run #### Introduction Verkos Detect Anything Agent has always been capable of watching your site from the air. But until now, it only watched when a human told it to. Before this release, starting detection required a person to open the cockpit, pick an agent, click **Start Detection**, run the mission, then click **Stop**. Close the cockpit and the agent was gone. Next flight, repeat. For a security operator running perimeter patrols every two hours around the clock, that meant twelve manual starts a day per drone. For a fleet of five, sixty. Most of those patrols fire at 2am, 4am, 6am, when nobody is at the dashboard. Those flights went out with no detection running. Smart Missions closes that gap

Dashboard Utility View for Verkos Detect Anything AI Agents

#### **What's New** **Assign an Agent Once, Run It Automatically** You now assign a Verkos agent to a mission once. From that point on, the agent runs automatically every time that mission executes, whether you launch it manually from the cockpit, trigger it via an alarm, or the FlytBase scheduler runs it on a schedule. When the mission ends, detection stops on its own. No human in the loop. The unit of assignment is the mission. You can assign the same agent to many missions, different agents to different missions, or leave some missions without any agent. Only missions with an assigned agent run detection, missions without one fly exactly as they always did.

Assign specific agent for different missions individually

#### **How to Use It** The **Smart Missions** tab lives alongside the **Agents** tab inside the Verkos AI page. 1. Open the **Verkos AI** page from your FlytBase dashboard 2. Go to the **Smart Missions** tab 3. Select one or more missions from the list 4. Click **Assign Agent** 5. Configure three things in the panel that opens: * **Agent** - which Verkos agent should run on the selected missions * **Active hours (optional) -** the window of time during which the agent is allowed to run. Outside this window, the mission still flies, but detection is skipped for that run * **Notification recipients (optional)** - who gets alerted when this specific mission detects something. If not set, detections fall back to the global recipients 6. Click **Assign Agent** to confirm Once assigned, the agent runs on the next scheduled or manual execution of that mission, stops when the mission ends, and reports detections through the configured notification channels.

Process for assigning an agent for a mission

#### **Per-Mission Active Hours** A perimeter patrol at 2am and the same patrol at 2pm have different detection needs. The 2am run wants intrusion detection. The 2pm run may not, authorized personnel are on site and motion alerts become noise. Active hours handle this at the assignment level. Set a window, for example, 22:00 to 06:00 and detection runs only during mission executions that fall inside that window. Missions outside the window still fly normally; the agent just doesn't start. Cross-midnight windows are supported. #### **Mission-Level Notifications** Global notification recipients are alerted whenever any detection fires across your organization. This works for a single-site operation, but breaks down for operators running multiple sites, the Site A team shouldn't get pinged for Site B detections, and vice versa. Each Smart Mission assignment can carry its own notification list. When set: * That list takes over entirely for that mission * Global recipients no longer receive alerts for detections from this mission * Only the mission-specific list does * The assignment view shows at a glance whether each mission is using the default or a custom list

Assigning mail to get notifications for any detections throughout the mission

Mail notification which is received upon successful detection

#### **What Didn't Change** Existing agent configurations carry over without any action needed on your end: * Any agent you configured before this release - enabled events, custom prompts, detection frequency, works the same way inside Smart Missions * Assigning an agent to a mission uses that agent's existing setup; it doesn't ask you to reconfigure anything * Global notification recipients still apply to missions without their own list * The default cockpit agent still shows up for manual use when no mission is running Nothing you were doing before stops working. #### **What This Means** * Scheduled and alarm-triggered missions now run detection automatically, no operator required * Detection is no longer missed on overnight or off-hours patrols * Different missions can run different agents, with different active hours and different alert recipients * Fleet operators managing multiple sites can route detections to the right team per mission # 3D Mission Support Across Scheduler, Flows, and One-to-Many Console We are excited to introduce **end-to-end 3D mission support** across Scheduler, Flows, and One-to-Many Console which brings greater spatial awareness and consistency to how missions are planned, automated, and monitored. With this update, 3D missions are no longer limited to planning but are now fully integrated into execution workflows and fleet-level visibility.
*** #### Key Capabilities and How to Use It This enhancement extends 3D mission compatibility across core operational modules: * **Scheduler Integration:**\ You can now schedule missions created in the 3D Mission Planner directly from the Scheduler. This ensures that missions with altitude variations, terrain context, and complex spatial paths execute as intended without needing conversion or fallback to 2D. * **Flows Compatibility:**\ 3D missions can now be seamlessly incorporated into automated workflows using Flows. This allows you to trigger spatially-aware missions as part of larger automation pipelines, alongside other actions like data capture, alerts, or integrations. * **One-to-Many Console Visibility:**\ Missions planned in 3D are now reflected in One-to-Many Console, providing operators with better situational awareness during execution. You can monitor mission progress with full context of altitude, positioning, and mission structure. *** #### Workflow for Using 3D Missions End-to-End * **Plan in 3D:**\ Create your mission in the 3D Mission Planner with full spatial context, including altitude, terrain, and waypoint positioning. * **Schedule or Automate:**\ Use Scheduler to run missions at defined intervals, or integrate them into Flows for event-based automation. * **Monitor in One-to-Many Console:**\ Track mission execution in real time with improved visualization and operational clarity. *** #### What This Means for Your Operations With 3D mission support now available across planning, scheduling, automation, and monitoring: * You no longer need to manage separate workflows for 2D and 3D missions * Mission intent is preserved from planning through execution * Teams gain better visibility and control over complex operations This update ensures that the power of 3D planning translates directly into reliable, repeatable, and scalable drone operations. # Grid Mission Enhancements More control over how media is captured during grid missions. ### **Introduction** Grid missions have traditionally been designed for mapping workflows, where automatic image capture is required to generate datasets. As a result, image capture was tightly coupled with mission execution, with the number of images determined by parameters like flight altitude and coverage area. However, grid missions are increasingly being used for patrol, security, and Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) operations, where continuous image capture is not always necessary and can create unnecessary data overhead. This update introduces more flexibility in how media is captured during grid missions.
*** ### **What’s Changed** #### **Flexible Camera Modes** Previously, grid missions were tightly coupled with automatic image capture, optimized primarily for mapping workflows. You can now choose how media is captured using three camera modes: * **Interval Photos**\ Capture images automatically at defined intervals based on mission parameters such as altitude and overlap. Ideal for mapping and photogrammetry workflows. * **Video Recording**\ Record video continuously throughout the mission. This removes the need to manually start recording and is better suited for patrol and surveillance operations. * **No Photos**\ Execute the grid mission without capturing any images or video. Useful for route-based patrols or scenarios where media capture is not required. *** #### **Payload Selection Requirement** Camera mode selection is now tied to payload configuration. Once you select a camera mode, you must also choose the appropriate **payload.** This ensures the mission is configured with the correct hardware context for the selected media behavior. *** ### **How to Use** 1. Go to **Missions → Create Mission** 2. Select **Grid Mission** 3. Define your mission area on the map 4. In the left panel, locate **Camera Mode** 5. Choose one based on your use case: * **Interval Photos** for mapping workflows * **Video Recording** for patrol recording * **No Photos** for surveillance or route patrol 6. Select the corresponding **payload and lens** 7. Configure other parameters (altitude, route settings, etc.) 8. Save and execute the mission
*** ### **What This Means** * Use grid missions across both mapping and operational workflows * Reduce unnecessary data capture during surveillance missions * Enable consistent and automated video recording for patrol operations *** ### **Summary** Grid missions are now more flexible and better aligned with real-world usage, supporting both data capture and patrol-based operations without unnecessary overhead. # Flink Store Discover and start using FlytBase-built Flinks in a few clicks. ### **Introduction** FlytBase is continuously building new capabilities, from analytics and dashboards to AI-powered workflows and integrations.

These individual Flinks will evolve through continuous iteration, driven by user feedback and real-world performance. # Coverage Intelligence (Beta) Know what your drones actually saw, not just where they flew. ## The Problem Flight logs tell you where a drone went. They don't tell you what its camera observed. A drone can fly directly over a gate checkpoint while its camera points in the opposite direction — and today, there's no way to know. Security operators with SLA commitments face this gap every day. When a customer asks "was my perimeter inspected last night?", the best answer available is flight count and total hours — a proxy metric that says nothing about actual visual coverage. There's no spatial proof, no way to identify blind spots, and no evidence that critical checkpoints received the attention they were promised. Coverage Intelligence closes that gap.
*** ### Before You Begin Coverage Intelligence computes the camera's ground-projected field of view from flight log telemetry and visualizes it on a map. Instead of a flight path line, you see the actual area the camera observed — as a coverage overlay showing what was seen and what was missed, or as a dwell time heatmap showing how long each area received camera attention. You define what matters — your site boundary, perimeter fences, critical checkpoints — and the system continuously evaluates whether those areas are getting the coverage your SLA requires. When it's time to report, you generate a PDF that shows your customer exactly what was inspected, how thoroughly, and where the gaps are. *** ## How to Access Navigate to your organization URL with /coverage-intelligence/ appended:\ {% hint style="warning" %} The trailing slash is required. Without it, the page won't load. A dedicated navigation entry is coming — for now, use the direct URL. {% endhint %}
*** ## Setting Up Your Site An in-product setup wizard runs on first visit to a new site and walks you through four steps. Draw your site boundary. This is the area you're contractually responsible for — the polygon against which overall coverage percentage is measured. Set a target (e.g., 90% coverage) and the system tells you whether you're meeting it. Mark your critical points. Drop POI pins at locations that require specific attention — gates, parking lots, generator rooms, high-value assets. Each gets a name, a dwell time target (how long the camera should observe it), and optional inspection notes describing what to look for. These are the checkpoints your SLA probably names explicitly. Trace your fence lines. Draw polylines along perimeter fences that need regular inspection. The system measures what percentage of each fence was visually covered and highlights exactly where the blind spots are — down to the meter. Confirm your rolling windows. The system auto-creates Daily (24h), Weekly (7d), and Monthly (30d) evaluation windows. These define the time periods your coverage is measured against. Customize them to match your reporting cadence — add a 12-hour shift window, a bi-weekly cycle, whatever fits your operation. Once setup completes, if historical flight data exists, the system immediately runs a coverage analysis so you see real results on day one.
*** ### Coverage Visualization Select a site, choose your drones and time range, and hit Compute All. The system processes every flight in the window and renders the results on the map. Frequency mode renders a dwell time heatmap. Cool colors indicate areas the camera passed over briefly (2–4 seconds in transit). Warm colors indicate sustained inspection attention (20–60+ seconds of observation). This naturally separates transit corridors from actual inspection work — no filtering needed. Hover over any grid cell to see its accumulated dwell time, how many flights contributed coverage, and when it was last observed. Click a cell to trace back to the specific flights that covered it.
The grid resolution is adjustable via a slider (5m to 50m cells, default 10m). Smaller cells give precision; larger cells give a cleaner overview and better performance over long time ranges. *** ### Compliance Tracking With your annotations defined and coverage computed, the system evaluates compliance across all your rolling windows simultaneously. Site boundary: Percentage of your boundary area that received camera coverage within the window. Compared against your target with a clear met/at-risk/missed indicator. Fences: Linear coverage percentage for each fence — what fraction of the fence line was observed. Blind spots (consecutive sections with zero coverage) are identified by location and length. In frequency mode, the fence line itself is colored by dwell time — red sections got sustained attention, gaps got none. Points of interest: Accumulated dwell time for each POI compared against its target. A POI with a 60-second daily target that only received 12 seconds of observation is flagged immediately.
*** ### Reports Coverage data is only useful if you can share it with your customer. The reporting system generates PDF documents from your computed coverage. Create report templates that define which rolling window to evaluate, which annotation types to include (boundary, fences, POIs, incidents), and who receives them. A "Daily Client Report" might cover boundary and fence compliance for the last 24 hours. A "Weekly Internal Review" might include everything. Important: The report captures whatever coverage data is currently computed on the map. Compute your coverage for the relevant time range first, then generate the report. If nothing is computed, the report will show annotations but no heatmap overlay. Each report includes a coverage map snapshot with heatmap overlay, per-annotation compliance tables with met/missed indicators, a flight summary (total flights, hours, pilots, drones), and any incidents logged during the period. The format is designed to go directly to an enterprise security customer as proof of patrol coverage.
*** ### AI Agent An AI assistant is embedded in the dashboard. It can answer questions about your coverage data, check compliance status, and help you navigate the platform. Ask it things like "Which POIs missed their target today?", "Show me all areas with zero coverage this week", or "Help me set up reports." The agent reads your live dashboard data and can manipulate the map — zooming to problem areas, toggling layers, switching views — to show you answers visually, not just in text. The agent is also aware of the platform's features and can guide you through workflows you haven't tried yet.
*** ### Current Limitations Coverage Intelligence is in beta. A few things to know: Gimbal data is approximated. The flight log API does not yet include gimbal pitch and yaw telemetry. The system assumes a fixed 45° downward camera angle with the gimbal facing the same direction as the drone. This is a reasonable approximation for typical patrol operations, but means the coverage footprint is estimated, not exact. When gimbal telemetry is added to the flight log pipeline, the system will use actual camera orientation — no action needed on your end. Wide camera only. Thermal and zoom camera FOVs are not computed in this version. Coverage represents what the wide-angle camera observed. Flat terrain assumed. Altitude is measured relative to the docking station. On sites with significant elevation changes, coverage projections may be slightly over- or under-estimated in hilly areas. *** ### What's Next Real gimbal telemetry is the highest-priority improvement — it will make coverage projections significantly more accurate. Thermal and zoom camera support, scheduled automatic report delivery, and cross-site analytics are on the roadmap. *** ### To Get Started You can visit the following tutorial videos: 1.

Flight data captured automatically during missions in FlytBase, including pilot, aircraft, timestamps, duration, and location, can be exported to AlarisPro without manual re-entry. This integration ensures accurate record-keeping, simplifies compliance workflows, and connects flight execution with fleet management in a single, streamlined process. ### Post-Flight Compliance Without the Paperwork Most drone programs do not just fly and forget. Flights need to be logged in fleet management systems for compliance, pilot certification tracking, and operational record keeping. When your fleet management platform and your flight operations platform are separate systems, someone has to move data between them manually after every single flight. That means pilots re-entering information that already exists, including drone ID, pilot name, flight time, GPS coordinates, and mission details. The same data gets typed into a different system ten or more times a day. It is not complex work. It is simply repetitive enough to slow everything down and error prone enough to create compliance gaps when details get mistyped or flights get skipped. FlytBase now supports direct flight log export to AlarisPro. Flight data that FlytBase already captures, including pilot, drone, location, duration, and timestamps, flows directly into AlarisPro without manual re-entry. Pilots only add the fields that require human judgment, such as mission type, issues encountered, project assignment, FRAT assessment, and optional remarks. ## How To Set It Up ### One-Time Setup Before syncing flight logs, you configure the integration once. The AlarisPro Flink has three configuration tabs. #### Account Authentication Link your AlarisPro account using your existing AlarisPro credentials. The username and password are the same ones you use to log into AlarisPro directly.
#### Pilot Mapping Map each FlytBase pilot to their corresponding AlarisPro pilot profile. FlytBase pulls the full list of pilots registered in your AlarisPro account, so you're selecting from a dropdown — not re-entering names manually. This mapping ensures that when flight logs sync, the correct AlarisPro pilot profile is associated with each flight, regardless of who initiates the sync from the FlytBase side. Once mapping is complete, click on Save.
#### UAS Mapping Map each FlytBase drone to its corresponding AlarisPro UAS entry. Same approach as pilot mapping, FlytBase displays your fleet, and you select the matching AlarisPro UAS from a dropdown populated with your AlarisPro account's registered aircraft.
Once authentication, pilot mapping, and UAS mapping are saved, your integration is ready. This configuration persists , you only set it up once. ### Syncing Flight Logs After flights are completed, navigate to the Flight Logs page in FlytBase. An Alaris Pro sync column displays the sync status for each flight log. This column is visible only when the AlarisPro Flink is enabled for your account. It provides immediate visibility into which logs have been successfully synced, which have failed, and which are yet to be exported.
To sync flight logs to AlarisPro: 1. Select one or more flight logs using the checkboxes 2. Click the Share button in the toolbar 3. Choose Share to Flink 4. Select Alaris Pro as the Flink destination 5. For each selected log, fill in the required manual fields including Mission type, Issues encountered, Project, and FRAT assessment 6. Click Sync data to Alaris Pro
Once synced, successful entries appear as Synced in green in the Flight Logs page. If a sync fails, it appears as Failed in red. You can select the failed log, review the indicated failure reason, correct the required information, and retry the sync. ### What Gets Auto-Populated When you select flight logs for sync, FlytBase pre-fills the following fields: * Pilot name : the pilot who actually flew the mission, regardless of who initiates the export. In cases where multiple pilots flew the mission, the first pilot is populated. * Timestamp : flight date and time * Flight duration * Mission name * Drone model * Takeoff location : latitude and longitude coordinates The remaining fields require pilot input because they reflect operational judgment that FlytBase can't capture automatically: * Mission type : dropdown selection * Issues encountered : dropdown selection * FRAT assessment : Flight Risk Assessment Tool, dropdown selection * Project : dropdown selection *** For questions about the AlarisPro integration or to enable it for your account, contact # FlytBase Integrates with Senhive: Counter-Drone Detection & Response FlytBase now enables real-time intruder drone detection and lets operators quickly dispatch response drones directly from the same dashboard, reducing response time and improving site security. Counter-drone response is about protecting your site. When an unauthorised aircraft enters your airspace, the faster you can get eyes on the intruder's location, the more likely you are to identify who's operating it and why. {% embed url="" %} Detect and Avoid (DAA) sensors give you real-time awareness of unauthorized aircraft in your airspace — coordinates, altitude, even the estimated position of the person flying it. But that information lives in one dashboard. Your response fleet lives in another. Acting on a detection means toggling between systems, manually copying coordinates from the sensor interface, relaying them to a drone operator (or switching roles yourself), and then that operator has to locate the right spot on a separate map and set up a response flight. Every step in that handoff adds delay. For a security breach in progress, the intruder may already be gone by the time your response drone arrives. FlytBase now integrates with Senhive DAA sensors, bringing detection data directly into your operational dashboard — the first step in building counter-drone response capabilities into the platform. When a Senhive sensor detects an intruder, the intruder drone and its RC location appear on your map in real time, right alongside your own fleet. No system switching, no manual coordinate transfer, no second operator trying to find a location on a different map. You evaluate the threat and dispatch from the same screen. ### How It Works During Operations Detection is active on the home page during operations. When a Senhive sensor detects an intruder, two things happen simultaneously: markers appear on your map, and entries appear in your right-side Flinks panel under the SENHIVE section. #### What You See on the Map Each detection places two markers on your map: **Intruder Drone** — An orange drone icon (distinct from your fleet's icons) showing the detected aircraft's position. A label displays "UAV Intruder" with the intruder's altitude.

#### Viewing Detection Details

### Dispatching a Response Drone When a detection warrants response, you can send your fleet's drone to the intruder RC's location from the map or from the Flinks panel. #### From the Map Step 1: Hover over the intruder drone or RC marker on the map Step 2: Click '**Go to RC**' in the popup. The Go To Location panel opens on the left with the intruder RC's coordinates pre-filled.
Step 3: Verify the safe altitude, task altitude, and waypoint altitude, then dispatch. #### From the Flinks Panel The Senhive flinks panel now displays all active intruder drone and RC detections in one place, allowing operators to view detailed drone information such as ICAO, altitude, distance, and precise RC coordinates directly from the dashboard. Click '**Go to RC Pilot**' to open the Go To Location flow with the RC coordinates pre-filled. The same altitude verification and dispatch flow applies. ### Operational Notes **Hover to inspect, click to dispatch**: Hovering on a marker shows you the details and gives you the "Go to RC" action. If you want to review the ICAO number or share coordinates with a ground team before dispatching, the hover popup is where you do that. **Ground team coordination:** When you hover on a marker and copy the location, it generates a Google Maps link. Share this directly with ground personnel via any messaging channel so they can navigate to the intruder RC's estimated location independently. **Detection persistence**: Markers remain on your map as long as the Senhive sensor is actively tracking the intruder. When the sensor stops sending data for a particular detection (the intruder drone has left the area or landed), the corresponding markers are automatically removed. **Detection accuracy depends on your sensor deployment**: FlytBase displays Senhive data as received. The precision of intruder drone and RC positions reflects your sensor's capabilities, placement, and environmental conditions. ### Before You Start Activation of the Senhive integration is required. Please reach out to your designated Solutions Engineering team at FlytBaseto enable the Senhive Flink for your deployment. To complete the integration, obtain the Virtual Host, Username, and Password for your Senhive service, along with the hardware serial number of each DAA sensor you plan to connect to FlytBase. Senhive provides these details during sensor setup. Hardware compatibility: This integration works with DJI docks (Dock 1, Dock 2, Dock 3) and non-DJI docks. Counter-drone response is a platform-level capability, not limited to any specific dock hardware. ### Setting Up the Senhive Integration Once the Senhive Flink is enabled for your account, it appears in your Flinks Library under the Detect & Avoid (DAA) category.

For questions about setup or to discuss counter-drone deployment strategies, contact # Verkos AI: Detect Anything Agents AI-Powered Video Intelligence for Drone Operations FlytBase is excited to introduce Verkos AI - Detect Anything Agents, a new AI-powered video intelligence capability designed to help operators automatically detect and act on critical events during live drone operations. ## The Data Problem Your drones are collecting video constantly. Scheduled patrols, inspection sweeps, site monitoring flights. Hours of footage per day, across multiple docks, multiple sites. The footage exists. The question is what's in it. Reviewing that footage after the fact requires manpower and experience. Watching hours of video to find the moments that matter. A vehicle circling a facility at 2 AM. A missing solar panel in a field of thousands. A person breaching a perimeter. Equipment damage on a rail corridor. These events are buried in continuous feeds, and finding them means someone has to watch, recognize, and flag every one manually. Most organizations can't staff that level of review. So footage gets archived without analysis, events go undetected until someone notices the consequences, and the operational intelligence your drones are capturing goes unused. {% embed url="" %} ## Verkos Agents: AI That Watches Your Video Feed Verkos is FlytBase's AI capability for drone operations. Verkos Agents monitor your live drone video feed during flight, detect events relevant to your operation, and alert you when something requires attention. Each agent is purpose-built for a specific industry vertical, with detection use cases designed for that domain's operational reality. A security agent recognizes behavioral patterns like vehicle circling and perimeter breaches. A solar farm agent identifies panel damage and vegetation encroachment. A refinery agent monitors for leaks, fire indicators, and PPE compliance. When a Verkos Agent detects a configured event during flight, three things happen automatically: an alert appears in the dedicated Verkos alerts panel, an email notification is sent to your configured recipients, and the relevant media is captured and stored in your FlytBase gallery. You define what matters. Verkos Agents handle the monitoring. ## The Verkos Agent Suite Verkos launches with ten agents spanning security, infrastructure, energy, transportation, and industrial operations. Each agent contains pre-built detection events specific to its vertical, organized by category.
Available agents include: | **Agent** | **Focus** | | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | General Security | Perimeter security, unauthorized access, threats, violence, vandalism, theft indicators | | Solar Farm Management | Panel defects, vegetation encroachment, environmental hazards, security threats | | Public Safety | Traffic incidents, emergencies, crowd situations, hazmat indicators, infrastructure damage | | Railroad Operation Management | Track defects, signal issues, security concerns along rail corridors | | Refinery Inspection and Monitoring | Leaks, fires, PPE compliance, equipment conditions | | Mining Site Management | Equipment tracking, safety zone monitoring, infrastructure assessment | | Electric Utilities Inspection and Monitoring | Transmission and distribution infrastructure, vegetation clearance, equipment condition | | Maritime Ports Inspection and Monitoring | Port infrastructure, vessel monitoring, cargo operations, security | | Construction Site Monitoring | Progress tracking, safety compliance, equipment positioning, site security | | Highway Inspection and Monitoring | Road surface conditions, signage, barriers, drainage, structural elements | This initial suite will expand over time with additional agents and detection capabilities. ## Inside an Agent: Detection Events Each Verkos Agent contains a library of detection events organized by category. Operators can enable only the events relevant to their operation and leave others disabled.
For example, the General Security Agent includes behavioural pattern events like: * Person pacing or circling building * Person approaching multiple vehicles * Vehicle circling premises * Vehicle conducting slow pass-bys * Person looking into parked vehicles * Person trying multiple car door handles The operator can enable "Vehicle circling premises" and "Person trying multiple car door handles" for a parking facility but leave crowd-related events disabled. The agent monitors only what was configured. This level of control allows teams to tailor monitoring precisely to their site and mission requirements. ## Custom Detection Events In addition to pre-built events, Verkos Agents support custom detection events for scenarios specific to your operation. {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Persistent Custom Events Persistent custom events are configured within the agent settings and remain active across flights. Operators describe what should be detected using natural language, and the event is added to the agent’s monitoring set.
{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Live Search Events During active flight, temporary detection events can be added through the Live Search interface within the Operations view. By describing the object or condition of interest (e.g., “Damaged mounting structure”), the system immediately begins monitoring for it. These events apply only to the current flight and do not persist to subsequent operations.
Live Search allows operators to adapt monitoring in real time without changing their saved agent configuration. Configure it on the spot, and the agent incorporates it for that flight. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## How It Works Verkos Agents operate through cloud-based video analysis. During flight, the agent samples frames from the live drone video feed at a configurable interval and analyzes each frame for the enabled detection events. ### Agent Settings Operators control how the agent behaves using simple configuration options: * Email recipients for alert notifications * Video feed monitoring frequency based on operational needs: * You control how often the agent samples your video feed through the **Video Feed Monitoring Frequency** setting, adjustable between 5 and 30 seconds. * Lower intervals mean more frequent analysis and faster detection, but increase processing load. Higher intervals reduce processing but may miss brief events. * The right setting depends on your operation. Fast-moving security scenarios benefit from shorter intervals. Routine inspection sweeps where conditions change slowly may work fine at longer intervals.
Once configured, these settings persist across flights. {% hint style="info" %} Only one agent can be active at a time, ensuring the monitoring focus aligns with the primary objective of the mission. {% endhint %} ### Operational Scope Verkos Agents analyze video during active drone flight only. The agent must be manually started for each flight. Your agent configuration and activated use cases configuration persists between flights, but you just need to initalise the agent each time you fly. ## Where You’ll See It Verkos Agents are integrated across the FlytBase platform: * **Verkos AI Page**\ View available agents, activation status, and global settings * **Agent Detail Pages**\ Configure detection events and custom searches * **Operations View**\ Start agents and add Live Search events during flight * **Verkos Alerts Panel**\ Review alerts triggered during active operations
* **Gallery**\ Access captured imagery associated with detected events
## When to Use Verkos Agents Verkos Agents are ideal for operations where continuous video monitoring is not feasible, including: * Security patrols and perimeter monitoring * Large-scale infrastructure inspections * Public safety and emergency response * Industrial and energy site monitoring * Transportation corridors and highways * Multi-site or high-frequency drone deployments ## Availability Verkos Agents are currently live and require feature enablement by FlytBase. To request access, contact with: * Your account details * The agents relevant to your operations # Copy-Paste Waypoints Across Missions ### Copy-Paste Across Missions, Smarter Editing, KML Import, and Keyboard Controls This release introduces major workflow improvements to the 3D Mission Planner designed to reduce mission planning time, eliminate redundant flight operations, and make complex inspection planning significantly more flexible. These enhancements focus on one core objective: **Turn missions into reusable building blocks instead of static flight plans.**

Caption: Select waypoints in one mission and paste them into another mission completely with actions, camera settings, and configuration

### The Problem Inspection missions require precision. Operators invest time in: Setting accurate waypoint positions, Adjusting gimbal angles, Configuring zoom levels, Defining Oriented Shoot parameters, Adding AI Spot Check references, Recording live missions in the field Especially for Live Mission Recording workflows, this represents real flight time and operational cost. But once created, these missions were isolated. Operators had to: Rebuild missions from scratch, Duplicate and manually delete waypoints, Re-record missions in flight. This led to: Redundant planning effort, Increased launch-return cycles, Battery waste, Operational inefficiency ### The Solution Waypoints are now reusable across missions. You can: Select waypoints from one mission, Copy them, Paste them into another mission, Preserve full configuration Everything travels with the waypoint:\ • Position\ • Gimbal angle\ • Zoom level\ • Waypoint actions\ • Oriented Shoot data\ • AI reference imagery Your missions become modular. ### Copy-Paste Waypoints and Actions Use when: Consolidating Live Mission Recording sessions, Reusing inspection shots, Preserving camera configuration Transfers:\ • Positions\ • All waypoint actions\ • Gimbal and camera settings #### Copy Waypoints Only Use when: Reusing flight path, Planning different operational logic, Redefining capture actions Transfers:\ • Positions only

Select waypoints in bulk

### Step-by-Step Workflow #### 1. Enter Multi-Select Mode Toggle via:\ • Toolbar button\ • Ctrl/Cmd + M

Choose between copying positions only or copying positions with full waypoint actions.

#### 2. Select Waypoints • Ctrl/Cmd + Click → Select individual waypoints\ • Shift + Click → Select range\ • Ctrl/Cmd + A → Select all\ • Escape → Clear selection #### 3. Copy Choose:\ • Copy waypoints only\ • Copy waypoints and actions

Copy multiple selected waypoints and menu displays total selected count.

#### 4. Switch to Destination Mission Open another mission tab. Click the waypoint after which new waypoints should be inserted. #### 5. Import Select:\ Import Waypoints → Copied Waypoints

Import copied waypoints or KML files from the Import Waypoints dropdown.

#### 6. Confirm Paste

Copied waypoints appear in the destination mission, preserving order and configuration.

Waypoints are inserted:\ • After the selected insertion point\ • In original order\ • With preserved settings (if applicable) If hardware configurations differ, compatibility errors are surfaced immediately. ### Why This Matters ### 1. Consolidate Recording Missions Instead of launching, flying, executing, and returning, and then launching, flying, executing, and returning again, you now launch once, execute all consolidated waypoints, and return once. The result is reduced transit time, lower battery usage, and faster execution cycles. ### 2. Build a Waypoint Library Maintain missions for: Individual transformers, Turbines, Panels, Asset clusters. When inspection scope changes: Pull required waypoints, Assemble custom mission, Execute immediately No rebuilding required. ### Drag-and-Drop Waypoint Reordering Waypoints can be reordered directly in the waypoint list, with the flight path updating instantly in the 3D map.

Reorder waypoints directly in the waypoint list with the flight path updating in real time.

Also supported via keyboard:\ Alt/Opt + Space → Enter reorder mode\ Arrow Up/Down → Move waypoint ### Insert Waypoints in Existing Sequences Add new waypoints before or after any existing waypoint.\ No longer restricted to appending at the end

Add Waypoints after and before the required waypoint

### Multi-Select and Bulk Delete Removes need for one-by-one deletion

Select multiple waypoints and delete them in one action to quickly trim or refine missions.

### Suggestions and Errors Panel Example:\ ‘Stop recording’ at waypoint 3 has no corresponding ‘Start recording.’ Benefits:\ • Prevents execution failures\ • Improves mission reliability\ • Reduces re-flight requirements

Real-time validation flags configuration errors before mission execution.

### KML Import Line KML files can be imported to create waypoint missions directly from existing geographic data. KML vertices are converted into waypoints that can be edited, reordered, and enhanced with actions. Use case: Existing GIS flight paths, Inspection routes in Google Earth, Asset mapping data. Behavior: Line KMLs supported, Vertices converted to waypoints, No interpolation, Polygon KMLs not supported Eliminates manual waypoint recreation from external mapping systems.

Import line-based KML files to automatically generate waypoint missions from GIS data.

### Keyboard Controls The 3D Mission Planner includes optional keyboard controls for faster waypoint navigation, editing, and reordering. Controls can be enabled from the top toolbar, with a full keymap available in the planner. It is disabled by default.

Enable or disable keyboard controls from the bottom toolbar.

Full keymap reference panel with movement, navigation, action, and multi-select bindings.

# AI Gimbal Track during Manual Flight FlytBase now supports **AI-powered Gimbal Track during Manual Flight** for DJI Dock 3. Operators can manually fly the drone while the gimbal automatically tracks a selected person or vehicle. Using DJI’s native onboard AI detection, the system keeps the chosen target centered in the camera frame, even as the drone is repositioned. This capability is especially useful during dynamic security and monitoring operations, such as following moving vehicles across large perimeters, tracking individuals through expansive sites, or adjusting position for a better vantage point without losing visual lock. By enabling manual flight and AI-driven tracking to operate simultaneously, it reduces operator workload and ensures continuous, stable tracking during active missions. *** ### Key Capabilities #### AI-Based Target Selection Gimbal tracking is driven by Dock 3’s onboard AI detection. * People and vehicles are automatically detected in the live camera feed * Operators initiate tracking by clicking on a detected target * The system continuously updates gimbal orientation as the target moves Tracking persists until the operator deselects the target or exits manual control.
*** #### Continuous Gimbal Tracking During Manual Flight Once a detected person or vehicle is selected, the gimbal remains locked on the target while the drone is manually flown. * Automatic gimbal orientation to keep the selected target centered * Tracking remains active while changing position, altitude, or direction * Reduced need for manual gimbal yaw and pitch adjustments This allows operators to reposition the drone freely without losing visual lock on the subject.
*** #### Manual Flight While AI Gimbal Track To enable gimbal tracking while flying, **Enhanced Manual Control** must be active. When enabled, manual flight inputs do not interrupt gimbal tracking behavior. This ensures: * Manual flight control remains responsive and predictable * Gimbal tracking continues uninterrupted during repositioning * Operator attention stays on flight control and environment awareness
*** ### Enabling Gimbal Track During Manual Flight 1. Open **Settings** 2. Go to **Flight configuration** 3. Select **Drone manual control mode** 4. Choose **Enhanced manual control** Once enabled, gimbal tracking will remain active during manual flight when a target is selected.
*** ### Notes and Limitations * This capability is available **only on DJI Dock 3** * Requires DJI’s native AI detection support * Tracking depends on continued visual detection of the target # Grid Missions in 3D Mission Planner FlytBase now supports Grid Missions in the 3D Mission Planner for DJI Dock 3, enabling area-based photogrammetry missions with Smart Oblique capture and Real-Time Terrain Follow. This allows operators to plan and execute grid-based mapping missions directly in a 3D environment while maintaining consistent GSD and overlap requirements across uneven terrain. Mission routes are optimized automatically, with key route statistics available before execution. Grid Missions with Smart Oblique are especially useful for large-area mapping workflows where flight efficiency, battery constraints, and terrain variation impact mission planning and execution.
*** ### Key Capabilities #### Grid Missions in 3D Mission Planner Grid Missions are now available as a mission type in the **3D Mission Planner**, alongside existing mission types. Operators can: * Draw a coverage area directly in the planner * Configure grid mission parameters * Preview the flight path and altitude profile in 3D before execution During mission planning, the following route statistics are displayed: * Estimated flight time * Total flight distance This provides better predictability and control before committing to mission execution.
*** ### Smart Oblique Capture Smart Oblique optimizes grid mission routes while improving photogrammetry data quality. When enabled, the aircraft captures: * Nadir images with the camera pitched straight down * Two additional oblique images at +30° and −30° gimbal angles during flight The mission planner automatically recalculates and optimizes the route when Smart Oblique is enabled. * GSD settings remain unchanged * Front and side overlap requirements are preserved * Route density is reduced This results in shorter flight paths and reduced mission duration while increasing the total number of captured images. #### Enabling Smart Oblique Grid Missions 1. Open **3D Mission Planner** 2. Select **Grid Mission** 3. Draw the coverage area on the map 4. Configure **GSD**, **front overlap**, and **side overlap** 5. Enable **Smart Oblique** The flight route is recalculated automatically once Smart Oblique is enabled.
*** ### Real-Time Terrain Follow Once enabled real-time Terrain Follow dynamically adjusts the aircraft’s altitude during flight based on onboard sensor data. * Maintains a more consistent height above ground level * Adapts to terrain elevation changes in real time * Does not rely on pre-loaded elevation or terrain files This improves data consistency and flight safety when operating over uneven or sloped terrain. #### Enabling Real-Time Terrain Follow 1. Open **Grid Mission settings** 2. Go to **Waypoint Altitude Mode** 3. Select **Real-Time Terrain Follow** {% hint style="info" %} All terrain-following behavior is driven exclusively by the drone’s onboard sensors, responding to ground elevation changes in real time. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} Altitude accuracy may vary by approximately ±10% based on terrain visibility and sensor conditions.\ Real-Time Terrain Follow does not rely on pre-loaded elevation data files and responds to actual terrain conditions during flight. {% endhint %} *** # Enhanced Manual Control FlytBase now supports **Enhanced Manual Control** for DJI Dock 2 and Dock 3, providing a direct, stick-like manual flight response. This additional control option sits alongside the existing speed-based manual control and delivers more immediate and proportional response to operator inputs, making manual flight feel more intuitive and responsive. Enhanced Manual Control is especially useful during dynamic situations such as tracking moving subjects, avoiding obstacles, and rapidly repositioning the drone. *** ### Key Capabilities #### Direct Manual Control Response Enhanced Manual Control provides a more direct and responsive manual flight experience. Instead of converting inputs into target speed commands, the drone responds immediately and proportionally to how much control is applied. * Immediate response to operator input * Smooth, proportional movement based on input intensity * Reduced delay from intermediate control processing This results in a control feel that closely matches flying with a physical RC controller, making manual flight more intuitive and predictable. ### Enabling Enhanced Manual Control 1. Open **Settings** 2. Go to **Flight configuration** 3. Select **Drone manual control mode** 4. Choose **Enhanced manual control**
*** #### Speed Configuration Using Low and High Control Sliders Manual flight speed is configured using percentage-based control sliders, which cap the drone’s maximum speed relative to its capability rather than defining an exact speed. * The **blue slider** controls **Low speed mode** * The **yellow slider** controls **High speed mode** For example, setting a slider to **50%** limits movement to up to 50% of the drone’s maximum available speed when that mode is active. Operators can switch between **Low** and **High** speed modes during flight by: * Pressing the **X key**, or * Selecting the mode from the **Manual Control menu** This allows quick transitions between precise, controlled movement and faster repositioning.
{% hint style="info" %} Changes made on the **Settings** page do not automatically apply to your current **Operations** or **Cockpit View** session. After updating speed values or peripheral preferences in **Settings**, you must **refresh your Operations/Cockpit View page** for the changes to take effect. This is important: the Settings page opens in a separate view. Simply switching back to Operations/Cockpit View after making changes is **not** sufficient—you must explicitly refresh the page (browser refresh, **F5**, or the reload button). **Workflow:** 1. Open **Settings → Flight Configuration** 2. Configure enhanced manual control mode 3. Refresh your **Operations/Cockpit View** page 4. Settings are now active {% endhint %} *** #### Updated Control Terminology To reflect the new behavior, control labels have been updated: * Throttle → **Vertical Speed** * Pitch & Roll → **Horizontal Speed** * Yaw → **Rotation Speed** *** #### Input Device Behavior * **Joystick / Gamepad:** Full proportional/analog control from 0% to active cap * **Keyboard:** Binary input at the active cap; Low cap recommended for precision * **Mouse:** Workflow unchanged; response is more immediate *** ### Legacy Manual Control Deprecation Legacy manual control will be **deprecated three weeks after this release**. * Both modes are available during the transition period * After deprecation, all manual control will use Enhanced mode For operational concerns during the transition, contact ****. # Native DJI AI Detection and Gimbal Track for Dock 3 FlytBase now supports **Native DJI AI Detection and Gimbal Track** for Dock 3, enabling automated object detection and hands-free camera tracking using DJI's onboard AI on the Matrice 4D and 4TD.\ No additional FlytBase AI-R hardware is required. This allows Dock 3 operators to detect people and vehicles automatically and keep the camera locked on a selected target during stationary missions. ### Key Capabilities #### AI Detection Our AI Detection feature seamlessly identifies and highlights key elements like people and vehicles in your live video feed during flights. With clear markings on detected objects, you can also set up email alerts to stay informed whenever activity is detected. Adjust the confidence threshold to suit your needs: higher thresholds minimize false alerts, while lower thresholds enhance sensitivity to detect partially visible or distant objects. This feature empowers you to monitor remote sites, perimeters, and critical infrastructure efficiently, without the need for constant manual oversight. * Seamlessly identifies and highlights key elements like people and vehicles in live video feeds. * Clear markings on detected objects. * Optional email alerts for activity notifications. * Adjustable confidence threshold: * Higher thresholds minimize false alerts. * Lower thresholds enhance sensitivity for partially visible or distant objects. * Efficient monitoring of remote sites, perimeters, and critical infrastructure without constant manual oversight.
| Detection Class | Supported | | --------------- | ---------------------------- | | People | ✓ | | Vehicles | ✓ | | Vessels | Available in the next update | #### Gimbal Track Gimbal Track allows operators to select a detected object and have the gimbal automatically follow it. The camera adjusts pitch and yaw to keep the target centered in frame while the drone remains stationary. This removes the need for continuous manual gimbal control and allows operators to focus on coordination, communication, and evidence capture.
### Operational Notes * **Stationary tracking :** Gimbal Track requires the drone to remain stationary. Issuing flight commands will disengage tracking. * **Cockpit View only:** Detection overlays and Gimbal Track are available only in Cockpit View. They are not currently visible in One-to-Many Console, RTSP streams, or Guest Share feeds. * **Detection classes:** People and vehicles are currently supported and are always active once detection is enabled. Vessel detection and configurable class selection will be introduced in a future update. * **Tracking behavior:** Only one target can be tracked at a time. Additional detections remain visible in the video feed but are not tracked. * **Email alerts:** Detection alerts can be configured and delivered via Flinks-based email notifications ### Camera Compatibility | Camera | Supported | | ------- | --------- | | Wide | ✓ | | Zoom | ✓ | | Thermal | ✗ | AI Detection and Gimbal Track are unavailable in thermal view. Switch to wide or zoom to use these features. ### Early Access Native DJI AI Detection and Gimbal Track for Dock 3 are currently available in **early access**. To enable this feature for your account, contact **** with your account details. Once enabled, the AI Detection panel will appear in Cockpit View for Dock 3 devices. # DJI AS1 and AL1 Payload Support Clear communication, scene illumination, and rapid incident response are critical during public safety and emergency missions. Operators should be able to manage these workflows directly from the plat With this release, FlytBase now supports seamless integration and remote control of the **DJI AS1 (Speaker)** and **DJI AL1 (Spotlight)** payloads for Dock operations. Operators can broadcast audio and illuminate target areas directly from Cockpit View, with consistent behavior across manual and autonomous workflows. This enhancement improves response coordination, strengthens communication with teams on-ground, and increases visibility in low-light and night-time operations. ### What changed You can now operate the following payload capabilities from the FlytBase Dashboard: #### DJI AS1 - Speaker

| For more information, please refer to our documentation on Non Dock Operations # Payload and Manual Control Enhancements Manual control requires instant action, whether you're rapidly repositioning during a security incident or transiting quickly to a target before performing slow, precise inspection adjustments. These critical moments cannot be wasted on multi-step workflows or dashboard navigation. We have streamlined the operational steps by introducing four interconnected improvements to manual control, designed to make your high-stakes manual operations immediate and intuitive. #### 1. Unified Take Control **What changed:** The Take Control button now grants both drone control and payload control simultaneously. Previously, gaining manual and payload control required two separate actions. Now, pressing Take Control on the drone panel grants complete operational authority over the drone and all attached payloads with a single click. > You can still press Take Control specifically on the payload panel if you only need camera control (e.g., pilot handles flight, you handle the camera).
#### 2. Default Peripheral Selection **What changed:** Configure your preferred control peripherals once in settings; they activate automatically when manual controls are unlocked. This change reduces the steps required to begin manual flight from four to two: 1. Take Control 2. Unlock Manual Controls 3. Your configured peripherals activate automatically. Configuration Location: Go to settings and under flight configuration, select: * Preferred peripheral for drone control (Mouse, Keyboard, Joystick, or Joypad) * Preferred peripheral for payload control (Mouse, Keyboard, Joystick, or Joypad
#### 3. Instant Speed Mode Toggle What changed: Switch instantly between your configured high-speed and low-speed values with a single input. Toggle instantly during flight to enable high-speed for covering distance or disable it for low-speed when making precise adjustments. How to Toggle: * Mouse: Click the speedometer icon in the manual control panel. * Keyboard: Press `X`. * Joystick/Joypad: Refer to the Key Bindings in Settings.
> Note for Existing Users: Your current speed settings will automatically become your low-speed mode values when this update is deployed. You can configure the high-speed values in the settings whenever you need faster transit speeds. {% hint style="info" %} Changes made on the **Settings** page do not automatically apply to your current **Operations** or **Cockpit View** session.\ After updating speed values or peripheral preferences in **Settings**, you must **refresh your Operations/Cockpit View page** for the changes to take effect. This is important: the Settings page opens in a separate view. Simply switching back to Operations/Cockpit View after making changes is **not** sufficient—you must explicitly refresh the page (browser refresh, **F5**, or the reload button). **Workflow:** 1. Open **Settings → Flight Configuration** 2. Configure speed values and peripheral preferences 3. Refresh your **Operations/Cockpit View** page 4. Settings are now active {% endhint %} #### 4. Quick Lens Switching What changed: Change camera lenses (Wide, Zoom, Thermal) using keyboard number shortcuts instead of navigating the dashboard. Keyboard shortcuts: * `1` Wide lens * `2` Zoom lens * `3` Thermal/IR lens
> This shortcut works universally across all Dock types (Dock 1, 2, 3) and is independent of your active peripheral or whether manual controls are unlocked. # AI Spot Check We are excited to announce AI Spot Check, a powerful new enhancement that uses computer vision to ensure your drone's camera is always focused on the exact inspection target, even at high zoom levels. While standard GPS navigation gets a drone to the general area, AI Spot Check uses advanced computer vision to "lock on" to specific targets. This eliminates the impact of small positioning errors caused by wind or GPS drift, ensuring your camera captures the exact equipment or structural feature you intended every single time. {% embed url="" %} ### Key Capabilities and How to Use It AI Spot Check enhances the Live Mission Recording workflow by adding visual recognition to your waypoints. * **Visual Target Lock:** The system stores a reference image of what the camera sees during mission creation. During execution, the drone uses this reference to visually recognize the target and automatically micro-adjusts the gimbal and position to center it. * **Oriented Shoot Actions:** Photos are automatically captured at every recorded waypoint. These actions preserve all orientation, zoom, and lens parameters. * **3D Mission Planner Integration:** Missions enabled with AI Spot Check are managed in the 3D Mission Planner, offering spatial awareness, altitude visualization, and terrain context. * **Precision Bounding Boxes:** You can define exactly what part of the image is most important by adjusting a bounding box on your reference image, focusing the visual matching algorithm on specific components. ### **Workflow for AI Spot Check** * **Fly & Record:** Initiate "Live Mission Recording" from the dashboard. Fly the drone manually to your target, adjust the zoom/gimbal until the view is perfect, and capture the waypoint. * **Refine in 3D:** After landing, open the recorded mission in the **3D Mission Planner**. This allows you to edit and fine-tune the waypoints and camera parameters. * **Set Target:** Open the "Oriented Shoot" action for a waypoint. You will see the reference image captured during flight. Adjust the bounding box to highlight the specific object you want the AI to capture in frame * **Execute:** Run the mission. The drone will arrive at the waypoint, compare the live view to your reference image, and automatically correct itself to match the original shot. ### When to Use AI spot check Use AI Spot Check for high-precision, repetitive inspection missions where "close enough" isn't good enough. It is ideal for: * **Routine Monitoring & Compliance Auditing:** When you need to see the exact same gauge, valve, or structural element daily or weekly. * **Change Detection:** Ensuring photos are framed identically over time to spot minute differences. * **High-Zoom Scenarios:** When using zoom levels up to 20x (optimal range), where even a meter of GPS drift would typically push the target out of frame. * *Note: For best results, avoid using this feature at extreme zoom levels (20x+) or in lighting conditions that differ drastically from the original recording (e.g., midday vs. dawn).* # FlytBase AI-R: Automated Gimbal Tracking Gimbal Track automates visual tracking of moving objects detected by AI-R, allowing the drone to hover in a fixed position while the camera autonomously follows a selected target. This eliminates the need for constant manual gimbal adjustment, enabling operators to focus entirely on evidence capture and situational assessment. {% embed url="" %} ### Key Capabilities and How to Use It Gimbal Track is designed for security and surveillance operations where maintaining continuous, stable visual lock on a moving subject is critical. #### Automated Tracking Once activated, the system takes over camera orientation, smoothly adjusting the gimbal's pitch and yaw to keep the selected target centered in the frame. * Hands-Free Operation: The drone remains stationary and hovers in place, freeing the operator to manage media capture (photo/video) while the system tracks. * Zoom Preservation: The zoom level is preserved from the moment tracking is enabled, ensuring consistent footage quality throughout the pursuit. ### How to Enable Gimbal Track 1. Prerequisite: Ensure AI-R detection (people and/or vehicle) is active. 2. Position: The drone must be airborne and the target must be visible in the zoom camera view. 3. Zoom: Set your desired zoom level before starting the track, as this setting will be maintained. 4. Enable Auto Tracking: Turn on the Auto tracking option within the AI detection menu. 5. Select the target: To start Gimbal tracking, click on the AI-detected object you want to track in the video feed. 6. Stop tracking: Tracking stops automatically if you switch to IR or wide-angle camera mode, or if you issue a movement command (GTL, mission resume, or manual controls). You can also use the stop button to end Gimbal Track at any time. ### When to Use Gimbal Track This feature significantly enhances documentation quality in scenarios that demand stable, centered visual evidence. * Active Surveillance: Maintain a continuous visual lock on a person or vehicle of interest as they move through the area. * Perimeter Breach Response: Immediately lock onto a detected intruder upon an AI-R alert. * Evidence Collection: Capture stable, centered footage of subject actions for incident reporting and movement pattern analysis. ### Hardware and Firmware Requirements * Hardware Compatibility: Supported on DJI Dock 1, Dock 2, and Dock 3 (requires the FlytBase AI-R hardware unit). * Firmware Requirement: Gimbal Track requires AI-R firmware v1.0.5 or above. If your unit is running an earlier version, please contact to schedule your AI-R firmware update. # Enhanced Low-Light Operations: Night Mode, NI-R, and Smart Low Light Night operations demand visibility far beyond what standard camera settings can provide. FlytBase now introduces three complementary low-light enhancement modes designed to maximize clarity, awareness, and evidence quality during nighttime missions. Smart Low Light improves captured media, Night Mode delivers real-time full-color night vision, and NI-R Mode adds high-contrast infrared imaging for long-distance visibility. Together, these modes offer a powerful, flexible low-light toolset across DJI Dock systems. {% embed url="" %} ### **Key Capabilities and Highlights** #### **Smart Low Light (All Docks – Zoom Camera)** * Enhances **captured photos and videos** using intelligent multi-frame processing. * Improves detail visibility during incident review and evidence documentation. * Works independently of the live feed—enhancements apply only to saved media. #### **Night Mode (Dock 3 – Wide, Zoom)** * Provides **real-time, full-color night vision** with dramatically increased sensor sensitivity. * Ideal for identifying subjects, vehicles, and infrastructure in low-light environments. * Situational awareness in poorly lit or unlit areas #### **NI-R Mode (Dock 3 – Tele Camera, 7x+ Zoom)** * Enables **high-contrast black-and-white infrared imaging** by removing the IR-Cut filter. * Reveals distant subjects not easily visible with Night Mode alone. * Designed for large-area surveillance, perimeter monitoring, and long-distance tracking. # Point of Interest (POI) Point of Interest (POI) introduces fully automated orbital flight around any selected point on the map. With a single click, the drone orients toward the target, locks its camera onto the point, and maintains a perfect circular path allowing operators to concentrate exclusively on mission objectives and data quality, rather than the mechanics of flight. By removing the manual workload and variability of orbiting, POI delivers **consistent, high-quality incident documentation** for security teams and **comprehensive, repeatable structural analysis** for inspection crews. The result is systematic, defensible, and easier-to-analyze footage across every flight. Powered by precise rangefinder sensor data, Point of Interest is now supported on **DJI Dock 1 and Dock 3** systems. {% embed url="" %} Point of Interest (POI) {% endembed %} #### Key Capabilities and Highlights * **Persistent Target Lock:** The drone's yaw and gimbal remain continuously aligned to keep the camera precisely centered on the POI for flawless video and imagery. * **Real-Time Dynamic Control:** Operators can adjust the orbit speed and direction (Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise) dynamically while the mission is in progress. * **Hands-Off Payload Operations:** POI enables the freedom to utilize thermal lens switching, zoom control, and media capture while the flight path is autonomously managed. * **On-Map Setup:** Define the orbit center and automatically set the radius based on the drone's current distance with a single click. #### When to Use POI * **Incident evidence capture**: Orbit a vehicle, person of interest, or scene to document from all angles without manual repositioning. * **Structural assessment:** Document building facades, rooftops, or infrastructure damage from multiple perspectives. * **Asset documentation** : Capture comprehensive views of towers, solar arrays, or industrial equipment for compliance and maintenance planning. # AI-R: Model Switching & Confidence Control AI-R now gives you greater control over your detection models enabling operators to configure detection accuracy and performance to their environment in real time. This release introduces two powerful new controls: 1. **Model Selection:** Switch between *Larger Object Detection* and *Smaller Object Detection* 2. **Confidence Threshold Adjustment:** Fine-tune your detection sensitivity directly from the dashboard letting you decide if AI-R prioritizes catching every possible detection or filtering for only high-confidence results. ### Configuring Detection Behaviour In the **AI-R Settings** panel inside the Cockpit View, you’ll now find: #### Model Type Dropdown * **Large Object Detection Model** – optimized for close-range, high-confidence detection of people and vehicles. * **Small Object Detection Model** – optimized for identifying people and vehicles at longer ranges or when targets appear smaller in wide-area surveillance missions.

This update gives you a dedicated space to report problems, upload supporting media, track the status of your tickets, and access all documentation — without leaving the platform. #### Reporting Issues Inside FlytBase From the dashboard, you can now raise an issue as soon as it occurs. Each report includes fields for a title and description, along with the option to link relevant devices (such as docks or drones). To provide full context, you can attach supporting media: * Images up to 200 MB each * Videos up to 2 GB each * A maximum of 4 files total *Important: Do not close your browser while media is uploading. If the browser is closed, the upload will stop.*
#### Tracking Tickets and Status Once submitted, every issue is immediately flagged across FlytBase support channels. This ensures it’s picked up, assigned, and resolved as quickly as possible. Inside your dashboard, you’ll see a complete ticket log with real-time status (Pending, In Progress, Resolved) and reference IDs for conversations with your Solutions Engineer or the support team.
#### All Support Resources in One Place The Bug Reporting Hub also consolidates key support resources. From within the dashboard, you can access the latest FlytBase Documentation, review your open tickets, and — soon — get guided assistance through an integrated AI Assistant.
#### Why This Matters This update creates a single, centralized hub for support: * Report issues where they occur — inside the dashboard * Provide detailed context with logs, images, or videos for faster troubleshooting * Track ticket progress transparently without relying on external threads * Access all documentation and upcoming AI-powered support in one place # FlytBase Video Streaming — Updated Behavior We’ve introduced an update to **docking station video feeds**, designed to give you more control while reducing **unnecessary network bandwidth consumption** — especially valuable for teams on **Starlink, 4G, or 5G connections**. Continuous dock video streaming isn’t always required. With this update, you can choose whether the dock video is **always available** (e.g., for third-party VMS) or runs **only when you need it** to optimize bandwidth. #### **How It Works:** * Toggle optimisation under *Device Settings → Video Stream Control*. * **Optimisation Enabled**: Dock video stops automatically when the drone lands and enters *Standby/Idle*. RTSP output is not available in this mode. * **Optimisation Disabled**: Dock video can be started/stopped manually from the dashboard. When started, it is available both on the dashboard and via RTSP. * **Continuous Streaming**: If you need a permanent RTSP feed into a VMS like **Genetec** or **Milestone**, keep optimisation disabled and press **Start Video Feed** once — the dock will continue streaming until stopped.
**Why This Matters** * **Save bandwidth** when dock video isn’t needed * **Maintain uninterrupted VMS feeds** when required * **Stay in control** of when the dock publishes video * **Reduce network costs** on satellite/cellular links *This update ensures your **dock video is there when you need it** — while avoiding unnecessary background streaming when you don’t.* # Webhooks for Media & Mission Events We’ve enabled Webhooks so your internal systems can react instantly to FlytBase events—like mission status updates and media uploads completing—without any manual steps. This streamlines downstream processing (AI/ML, digital twins, reporting, compliance) the moment data is ready. #### The Problem We’re Solving Until now, teams often had to: * Poll APIs or manually check mission status to know when flights were done. * Wait for operators to confirm media was uploaded before starting analysis. * Build fragile scripts to bridge FlytBase with their own tools. This led to delays, wasted operator time, and missed chances to automate downstream workflows. #### **How Webhooks Help** Webhooks eliminate those gaps by sending real-time event triggers the moment something happens in FlytBase. This streamlines downstream processing (AI/ML, digital twins, reporting, compliance) the moment data is ready. #### What’s in it for you * Real-time automation: Move from flight to processing in seconds. * Hands-off ops: Eliminate manual checks and polling scripts. * Scale with confidence: Built for multi-dock, high-volume inspection workflows. #### Typical Use Cases * Trigger AI pipelines as soon as images land in storage. * Start report generation or QC checks when a mission finishes. * Notify teams/tools (Slack, SIEM, CMMS, ticketing) on key milestones. * Feed events into video management systems (Genetec, Milestone) for richer situational awareness. * Push events into ERP or asset management tools (SAP, ServiceNow) for automated record-keeping.
#### Supported Events You can configure Webhooks for: | Task Events | Flight Events | Drone Events | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | |

In addition to setting altitudes relative to terrain using **Above Ground Level (AGL)**, users can now clearly view waypoint positions, route paths, and potential terrain conflicts in real time while planning. 3D Mission Planning on FlytBase plays a key role in enabling safe, accurate, and efficient autonomous drone operations—especially in environments where terrain and elevation change frequently. By bringing spatial context directly into the mission planning workflow, it helps teams better prepare for complex scenarios and execute flights with greater confidence.

3D Mission Planning

## **Key Use Cases and Benefits:** * **Visualizing Complex Flight Paths**\ For missions with multiple waypoints or proximity to infrastructure, the 3D view offers clear insight into how the route moves across varied terrain. This improves situational awareness and reduces the likelihood of planning errors. * **AGL-Based Altitude Validation**\ In sites like mines, refineries, and construction zones, operators can assign waypoint altitudes relative to the ground surface (AGL). This ensures safer clearance above terrain and better alignment with site conditions. * **Enhanced Pre-Flight Safety**\ The 3D interface helps identify potential altitude conflicts early in the planning process. This reduces mid-mission interventions and supports safer, more reliable autonomous flights—especially for **BVLOS** operations. Explore the 3D mission planner in detail in our latest documentation: [3D Mission Planning](https://docs.flytbase.com/pre-flight-modules/3d-mission-planning) # Support for Sniffer4D Nano 2 We've added support for the Sniffer4D Nano2 multi-gas detection system. This integration enables your drone operations to capture live gas concentration data and environmental conditions directly through the FlytBase platform. The system provides readings for critical gases, including CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, and particulate matter, alongside meteorological data. FlytBase now displays live gas concentration levels from all active sensor modules, with automatic meteorological data (temperature, humidity, pressure) shown as soon as your drone powers on. Operators can toggle between volumetric and mass units depending on their reporting requirements or regulatory standards. The system supports automated monitoring through DJI Dock 2 and FlytBase integration, enabling remote and scheduled environmental assessments.
### Key Applications The Sniffer4D Nano2 integration addresses critical monitoring challenges across multiple industries including greenhouse gas monitoring, oil & gas pipeline inspection, industrial emissions monitoring, HAZMAT emergency response, environmental research, and landfill management. Each application leverages FlytBase's automation capabilities to reduce operational costs, enhance safety, and ensure regulatory compliance. The integration enables three powerful automation approaches: #### **Preventive Monitoring** > *Mission Scheduler → Automated Flight → Real-time Data Collection → Dashboard Analysis → Compliance Reports* Scheduled automated missions enable routine compliance monitoring, pipeline inspections, and environmental studies. This workflow ensures consistent data collection while reducing operational costs and maintaining regulatory compliance through systematic monitoring programs. #### **Incident Response (Manual Trigger)** > *Emergency Alert → GTL (Go-To-Location) → Immediate Deployment → Live Assessment → Manual Override for Investigation* Manual deployment for emergency situations provides rapid response capabilities for HAZMAT incidents, suspected leaks, and critical situations. GTL functionality enables immediate drone deployment to incident locations with real-time assessment before personnel deployment, ensuring safety and immediate situational awareness. #### **Integrated Alarm Response (Fully Automated)** > *Ground Sensors Detect Leak → Webhook to FlytBase Alarm Flinks → Automatic Drone Deployment → Pre-planned Mission → Live Data Streaming → Manual Control for Detailed Analysis* Seamless integration with existing gas monitoring infrastructure enables fully autonomous emergency response. When ground sensors detect anomalies, webhooks automatically trigger drone deployment, execute pre-planned assessment missions, and provide live data streaming to operators who can then take manual control for comprehensive environmental analysis. *** **Supported Hardware:** DJI Dock 2, DJI Matrice 3D, DJI Matrice 3TD Users on the Enterprise plan can get started with the Sniffer4D integration as an add-on. # Improvements to Go To Location (GTL) : Task Altitude ## Introduction We’re excited to introduce Task Altitude—a powerful addition to the Go To Location feature that brings smarter, safer navigation to your autonomous flights. This parameter lets operators define a dedicated cruising height between takeoff and destination, simplifying altitude planning and improving obstacle clearance in complex environments. Whether you're flying over varied terrain, near infrastructure, or operating BVLOS, Task Altitude adds a new layer of confidence and control to your drone missions.

Task Altitude Setting during Go To Location (GTL)

## Key Features * Maximum Altitude Priority: The drone will always ascend to the highest of Safe Takeoff Altitude or Task Altitude before horizontal travel. * Task Altitude settings only affect flight paths when the drone would otherwise descend below the threshold. * Mid-mission changes to Task Altitude apply only to subsequent navigation commands, maintaining route stability.

Behavior of Task Altitude Settings
