FAQs + LTE Plan Info
What Does the ADS DroneTracke Kit Actually Do?
The ADS DroneTracker Kit provides real-time detection of drones broadcasting Remote ID signals, including from major manufacturers like DJI, Autel, Skydio, and Parrot. At its core is the Dronetag RIDER, an industry-trusted Remote ID receiver that identifies drone locations, flight paths, and — where available — pilot positions.
This data is delivered through a simple app interface, giving users a clear snapshot of aerial activity for enhanced situational awareness.
Note: Drone identification is limited to drones broadcasting compliant Remote ID signals, per FAA/industry standards. Leanre more here Drone Remote ID
Who Is This Kit Designed For?
The DroneTracker Kit, powered by Dronetag RIDER, is ideal for:
-
Law enforcement & first responders
-
Event security and crowd management
-
Critical infrastructure protection
-
Private security firms
-
High-risk facility operators
-
Property owners seeking advanced aerial awareness
Does It Require Wi-Fi?
No. The system operates over built-in LTE. Once powered on, detections can be viewed in real time via the Dronetag App (available on iOS and Android). You do not need local Wi-Fi to begin scanning.
How Far Does It Detect?
Detection range depends on environment, signal strength, and drone type. In most open-area scenarios, users can expect Remote ID detection at 3–5 miles using the included Dronetag RIDER hardware and external antenna configuration.
Is LTE Included? How Does the Data Plan Work?
Yes. Your DroneTracker Kit purchase includes 40 scanning hours for 2 months of LTE access for free, enabling:
-
Remote cloud sync
-
Detection history
-
Device access via mobile/desktop apps
-
Future notification features
How Scanning Hours Are Measured
Our subscription plans are based on active detection time, not the total time the device is powered on. This means scanning hours are only counted when the DroneTracker Kit is actively detecting and logging drone activity—not when the device is simply turned on and running idle.For example, if the unit is powered on for 5 hours but only detects drones during 1 hour of that time, only 1 scanning hour is deducted from your plan. This ensures efficient usage and maximum value, especially in environments with intermittent drone activity.
Subscription Options After Free Trial
Each DroneTracker Kit includes a free 2-month trial with 40 detection hours. After the trial period, you can choose from the following flexible plans:-
60 detection hours (valid for 3 months): $99
-
240 detection hours (valid for 12 months): $299
-
Custom multi-year enterprise plans available upon request
Detection hours are only counted when the device is actively detecting drone activity—not simply when powered on—ensuring maximum value from your subscription.
Can I Buy for an Entire Team or Agency?
Absolutely. Volume discounts and custom configurations are available for government agencies, emergency services, schools, and enterprise security teams. Contact us for a custom quote or agency deployment demo.
Why Act Now?
Drones are becoming smaller, faster, and more intrusive. Whether it’s unauthorized surveillance, interference with public safety, or privacy concerns, this technology gives you the power to detect and respond before escalation occurs.
LTE Plan Comparison: What Happens After the 2 month Free Plan Ends?
Feature With Subscription Without Subscription LTE & Cloud Sync ✅ Yes ❌ No 6-Month Detection History Access ✅ Yes ❌ No Real-Time Detection via Bluetooth ✅ Yes ✅ Yes (Live Only) Manual Data Export ✅ Yes ✅ Yes API Access & Web Dashboard ✅ Yes ❌ No Email / Push / SMS Alerts (Coming) ✅ Planned ❌ No Works When Phone is Off ✅ Yes ❌ No What Still Works Without a Subscription?
Even without an LTE plan, the core Dronetag RIDER hardware still functions:
-
Live detection via Bluetooth/USB using the DroneScanner app
-
Manual export of logs during or after drone activity
-
Visual and audible alerts on the RIDER device itself
-
Demo mode for live demos via phone or laptop (with device connected)
Legal & Compliance Note
The ADS DroneTracker™ Kit integrates Dronetag RIDER hardware in accordance with our authorized agreement. Dronetag retains all rights to the RIDER name, trademarks, and hardware design. ADS provides value-added configuration, packaging, and mission-specific support materials tailored to public safety and enterprise clients.

Which drones does Drone Tracker Kit detect?
Drone Tracker Kit is “drone-agnostic,” meaning it can detect any modern drone (e.g., DJI, Autel, Parrot) that broadcasts a standard Remote ID signal. It's important to know that if a drone doesn't transmit Remote ID (which is common for drones under 250g), RIDER won't be able to see it, as there's no signal to detect.
Where can I view the detected data?
You have two great options:
1. The Dronetag App
This is our primary platform. It connects to RIDER via the cloud (using its built-in LTE) and gives you access to detection history, remote access, and a shared team view.2. The Drone Scanner App
This is a free, simple option that connects directly to your RIDER via Bluetooth. It gives you live, real-time situational awareness, but doesn't have cloud features or a detection history.Can it locate the drone pilot?
Yes. If the drone is broadcasting the pilot's location as part of its Remote ID signal, RIDER will show you that position on the map. If the pilot's location isn't being sent, the drone tracker kit will show you the drone's take-off point instead.
What is the detection range of Drone Tracking Kit?
The Drone Tracking Kit has a real-world detection range of up to 5 km (3 miles) with the default antenna, and detection is in real-time. This range can be affected by interference, as Remote ID uses the crowded 2.4 GHz frequency (like Wi-Fi), but it can also be extended by using optional directional antennas.
How long does the Drone Detection Kit battery last
You can expect the Drone Detection Kit to run for about 8 to 10 hours on a full charge, which is perfect for a full day in the field. When it's time to recharge, you just plug it in with a standard USB-C cable.
How fast is Drone Tracking Kit to deploy?
It's incredibly fast, even the very first time you use it. You just turn it on, register it in the Dronetag App on your phone, and you can start scanning your airspace. You should be up and running in just a few minutes.
Do I need a subscription to use the Kit?
This is a great question, and again, you have two ways to choose from:
1. Using the full Dronetag App (with cloud, history, etc.):
Yes. Your RIDER comes with a 2-month free trial. After that, you'll need to activate RIDER Connect to cover the LTE data and cloud services.2. To use RIDER for free:
No subscription is needed. You can use the Drone Scanner app for free. It connects to RIDER via Bluetooth and provides live, real-time detection with no monthly costs.Can I integrate data into my own systems?
Absolutely. The Drone Tracking Kit is built for professionals. You can export detection data from the Dronetag App or use our APIs to feed live data from the Cloud directly into your own third-party security or command systems.
