Double-Digit Growth in the Public Safety Drone Market

The public safety drone market is valued by Marketsandmarkets at USD 1.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.0%, according to the research company’s latest findings. The public safety drone market has emerged as a dynamic and rapidly growing sector, revolutionising the way public safety agencies respond to emergencies and ensure the safety of communities.

With the increasing adoption of drones in various public safety applications, including disaster management, search, and rescue operations, surveillance, and incident response, the market has witnessed significant growth and technological advancements. By harnessing the power of drones, public safety organisations can revolutionise emergency response efforts, minimize risks, and better protect and serve the communities they serve.

Rotary wing drones more agile

Based on the platform, the public safety drone market has been classified into fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and hybrid-wing. The rotary wing segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to rotary-wing drones being extremely manoeuvrable, with the ability to hover, rise, descend, and fly in any direction. Because of their agility, they can negotiate complicated environments such as metropolitan areas, heavily populated regions, or limited spaces, making them ideal for search and rescue missions, law enforcement operations, and disaster relief efforts.

Small Drones Will Lead the Market

Based on the Platform, the public safety drone market is classified into Microdrones (250gm-2Kg) and small drones (2kg- 25Kg). Small drones are expected to lead the markets during the forecast period due to small drones are lightweight and portable, making them quick to deploy and providing immediate aerial surveillance and situational awareness during emergency situations. They have lower acquisition costs and require less infrastructure for deployment, such as runways or hangars. Small drones can be used to minimize risks to law enforcement officers and public safety personnel. They can assess hazardous situations remotely, monitor dangerous areas, and gather information before sending personnel into potentially high-risk environments.

Fully-Autonomous Will Be in the Near Future

Based on operational mode, the public safety drone market has been classified into semi-autonomous and fully autonomous. The semi-autonomous segment of the public safety drone market is projected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the cost-effective usage of public safety drones in several applications ranging from border management to surveys. Also, semi-autonomous public safety drones deliver high manoeuvrability and are equipped with advanced technologies. They have comparatively low maintenance costs.

Asia Pacific Region is expected to have the highest CAGR in the public safety drone Market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to innovations in UAV technology, low-cost manufacturing of UAV parts, and increased demand for patrolling at crowded locations.

Key Players

DJI and Autel Robotics both from China, Skydio Inc and Teledyne Flir of the US, and Parrot Drone SAS from France, are cited as key players in the public safety drone market by the analysts. These companies have mainly resorted to contracts to drive their growth along with launching technologically advanced and cost-effective products.

Why is the Future of Access Control in Cloud?

In the past, IT and Security departments were reluctant to move their systems into the Cloud. Many still are. But things have changed.

The last few years have shown the global community so many reasons why its business critical to leverage Cloud computing as part of their corporate strategy.

Physical security solutions are no exception. As more organizations look to the Cloud, they are looking for a modern solution that gives them greater security, flexibility and interoperability.

On our next webinar we will address topics that are most commonly discussed with customers when considering a move to Cloud-based access control solution.

Which are their most common concerns?

Which functionalities are they looking for and want to understand better?

We will explain all concrete advantages that await you with access control in the Cloud, and also reveal some customer cases that fit perfectly with the Cloud offering.

1) Cloud-based software solutions are often more powerful, convenient, and affordable than locally hosted alternatives, but many people wonder: How secure are they really?

2) Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, we’ve seen an acceleration in the adoption of cloud-based software solutions. Why they became so popular during pandemic?

3) Organizations are always looking for something new and remarkable when investing in new technology. What kind of business efficiency and new opportunities comes with the Cloud?

Plug and broadcast

TOA’s new horn speaker uses IP audio and common industry standards to make Public Address (PA) as easy as possible

Looking at the rather unassuming IP-A1SC15 loudspeaker from the Japanese audio specialists TOA, you wouldn’t guess the number of features this product has to offer.

For the sake of accuracy, the product description would have to be changed from “loudspeaker” to “integrated audio system”, because nothing less than that is hidden under the robust and plain white housing of the IP-A1SC15. All components of a Public Address system are contained in the unit: the audio source (80 MB memory for pre-recorded messages, live paging via network), the amplifier (15 W, powered via PoE+) and finally, the loudspeaker. The latter is based on the model TOA SC-615, which is known for its reliability and installed in numerous factories, warehouses, railway stations and more.

The combination of video surveillance and building communication with PA systems has been widespread for years, and the IP-A1SC15 has been designed to simplify these applications drastically, as well as adding many useful functions.

A single standard network cable is required to start working with the device. In comparison: in a traditional PA system, you would need several cables to provide the source signal, the amplified signal, control signals and power.

If the operator plans to use the loudspeaker in combination with CCTV, it can be easily done by adding the speaker inside the Video Management System (VMS). This is possible thanks to the ONVIF Profile S Standard, which is supported by the IP-A1SC15.  The speaker has been certified by Genetec for their platform Security Center. More certifications are planned, and it was confirmed through in-house testing and customer feedback that the unit can be quickly integrated with other VMS as well.

If the use case is to flexibly broadcast voice announcements in an office building or similar environments, the operator can take advantage of the SIP technology, which is a part of modern networks in almost every commercial building. The IP-A1SC15 supports SIP, which means that the loudspeaker can be added to the network just like a normal (IP) phone. To make an announcement, the user can “call” the loudspeaker from their desk or even from mobile phones. The speaker can also receive Multicast, which means that not only individual loudspeakers, but also groups of loudspeakers can be addressed.

Another way to operate the speaker is by triggering functions automatically, which can be done through the remote API Protocol (HTTP) and/or 2 x contact inputs. This offers many possibilities for individual control: adapt the volume to the environmental noise level, to the time of the day and the degree of emergency; trigger announcements by motion detectors or temperature sensors, for example.

Security industry professionals are not always familiar with audio technology. The IP-A1SC15 makes it easy for this target group to add audio functionality to their solutions and thus expand their offer to the end customers. The network-enabled horn loudspeaker can already be seen on mobile surveillance towers, in perimeter surveillance and at traffic junctions. And we´ll probably see it even more often in the future, as there is no shortage of possible applications.
