DroneTracker Bridge – Portable Drone Detection Device
The DroneTracker Bridge – Portable Drone Detection Device – Compact Remote ID receiver for drones, iOS, and Android devices.
The DroneTracker Bridge is your entry point into drone detection. Compact and portable, it instantly connects to your smartphone, turning it into a powerful drone tracking tool. Ideal for hobbyists, security beginners, or anyone needing fast, affordable airspace awareness.
What is the ADS Drone Tracker Bridge?
The ADS DroneTracker Bridge is a Remote ID detection receiver compatible with iOS, Android, and drone detection platforms. It captures WLAN Beacon or Bluetooth Long Range signals from drones, which are often undetectable by smartphones alone, making these signals visible and extending detection range.
The ADS Drone Tracker Bridge is a lightweight, handheld device designed to instantly bring advanced drone detection to your smartphone. With a rugged enclosure, external antenna, and USB cable, this compact receiver captures Remote ID signals from nearby drones and converts them into data your iOS or Android device can read.
Why It Matters: Remote ID, often called the “digital license plate” for drones, is now mandatory for most drones in the USA, Japan, and the European Union. Standard smartphones can’t read these signals directly — The Drone Tracker Bridge solves that problem.
Key Benefits: Converts Remote ID signals for smartphone compatibility Plug-and-play setup — no pairing or subscription required Works with popular iOS & Android apps Portable and lightweight for mobile use

Reviews
I live near open land and small neighborhoods where people sometimes fly drones without warning. The DroneTracker Bridge gives me instant awareness anytime a drone is nearby. It’s small, easy to set up, and connects to my phone so I can see flight paths and pilot IDs right away. I use it mainly for peace of mind — to know when something’s overhead that shouldn’t be. Highly recommend for anyone who values privacy, property security, or situational awareness.
We’ve had increasing drone activity around our neighborhood and didn’t know who was flying or why. The Drone Tracker Detection Bridge gave us the ability to see and understand what’s in the air. It’s simple to use, and now we have peace of mind knowing when drones are nearby and if they’re following the rules. It’s a must-have for anyone worried about unwanted drone activity.
Living in a neighborhood where drones frequently fly overhead made me uneasy. The Drone Tracker Detection Bridge gave me awareness of what’s happening above without guesswork. It quickly detects nearby drones and shows clear, easy-to-understand results. It’s empowering to know when and where drones are flying. Great tool for community peace of mind.
We deployed the Drone Tracker Detection Bridge for outdoor events where drone intrusions were a growing concern. It quickly identified nearby drones, giving us the ability to respond and secure our airspace. This device has become a must-have for ensuring both privacy and public safety at high-profile gatherings.
