Frequently Asked Questions

AeroStream offers several advantages over traditional drone solutions. Our platform provides true edge computing capabilities, enabling real-time AI processing without relying on cloud connectivity. We offer lower latency video streaming, more advanced autonomy features, and a comprehensive command & control system. Unlike many competitors, AeroStream is designed from the ground up for enterprise deployments with robust security, scalability, and integration capabilities.

AeroStream consists of three main hardware components: (1) Badger - our autonomous drone platform with advanced flight capabilities, (2) Albatross - our docking and charging station for continuous operations, and (3) EdgeNano - our edge computing unit that processes AI workloads locally for low-latency performance. These components work together to create a complete autonomous drone system.

AeroStream is ideal for security and surveillance, public safety, infrastructure inspection, emergency response, perimeter monitoring, and asset protection. Our platform is particularly valuable for organizations that need 24/7 autonomous monitoring, rapid incident response, and real-time threat detection capabilities.

AeroStream's AI detection system uses advanced computer vision and machine learning models running on our EdgeNano edge computing platform. The system can detect and classify objects, people, vehicles, and anomalies in real-time. All processing happens at the edge, ensuring low latency and maintaining privacy by keeping data local. The system continuously learns and improves from operational data.

AeroStream is designed for ultra-low latency video streaming, typically achieving sub-200ms latency from drone to operator. This is made possible by our edge computing architecture and optimized streaming protocols. The exact latency depends on network conditions, but our platform is optimized for real-time command & control operations.

With the Albatross docking station, AeroStream drones can operate continuously 24/7. The Badger drones automatically return to the Albatross station for charging when battery levels are low, then resume their missions. This enables truly autonomous, persistent operations without human intervention for extended periods.

Yes, security is a core priority for AeroStream. We implement end-to-end encryption for all communications, secure authentication and authorization, and comply with industry security standards. Our platform is designed to meet enterprise security requirements and can be deployed in air-gapped environments if needed. We also comply with privacy regulations including CCPA/CPRA.

Absolutely. AeroStream provides comprehensive APIs and integration capabilities. Our platform can integrate with existing security systems, VMS (Video Management Systems), access control systems, and other enterprise software. We offer RESTful APIs, webhooks, and SDKs to enable seamless integration with your current infrastructure.

AeroStream includes comprehensive onboarding, training, and ongoing support. We provide technical documentation, API guides, training sessions for operators and administrators, and 24/7 technical support. Our team works closely with customers to ensure successful deployment and operation of the platform.

To get started, you can request a demo through our website or contact us at info@aerostream.ai. Our team will work with you to understand your specific use case, provide a demonstration, and help you plan your deployment. We offer flexible deployment options including pilot programs to help you evaluate the platform.

Pricing for AeroStream varies based on your specific requirements, including the number of drones, docking stations, and edge computing units needed, as well as any custom integrations or features. We offer both hardware and software licensing options. Please contact our sales team at info@aerostream.ai for a customized quote based on your needs.

AeroStream is primarily designed as an edge computing platform for low-latency, secure operations. However, we do offer hybrid solutions that combine edge processing with optional cloud services for data analytics, historical storage, fleet management, and advanced AI model training. This gives you the best of both worlds - real-time edge performance with cloud-scale analytics.

AeroStream drones are designed to operate in a wide range of weather conditions. The Badger platform can handle moderate wind, light rain, and various temperature ranges. However, operation in severe weather conditions (heavy rain, strong winds, storms) may require grounding for safety. The Albatross docking station provides protection for the drones when not in flight.

AeroStream gives you control over your data. Video and detection data can be stored locally on the EdgeNano unit, on your own servers, or optionally in secure cloud storage. We support various retention policies and can help you configure data management according to your compliance and operational requirements. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
