CAN and CAN'T Do List: ADS DroneTracker kit
What the ADS DroneTracker kit CAN Do:
Detect Drones Broadcasting Remote ID
-
Detects drones from manufacturers like DJI, Autel, Parrot, Skydio, Yuneec, and others within 3–5 miles (5–8 km) using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals.
-
Supports standardized Remote ID via ASTM F3411-22A and ASD-STAN EN 4709-002.
Pinpoint Live Drone & Pilot Location
-
Displays the real-time position of both the drone and its pilot (when transmitted via Remote ID).
-
Shows heading, speed, and altitude — ideal for threat evaluation.
Send Instant Alerts
-
Sends buzzers, screen notifications, or app alerts the moment a drone is detected — no constant app monitoring required.
Operate Offline or Without Wi-Fi
-
LTE-enabled for full standalone operation.
-
Works in offline mode via USB or Bluetooth with detection history stored locally for later review.
Visualize Flight Data
-
All detections are stored in the cloud (with subscription) or locally (offline use) and viewed on the ADS Airspace Command App.
Integrate with 3rd Party Platforms
-
API access allows integration with UTM platforms, surveillance systems, and other dashboards.
❌ What the ADS DroneTracker kit CANNOT Do:
It Does NOT Detect Non-Remote ID Drones
-
If a drone has no Remote ID broadcast (e.g., custom-built, modified firmware, or illegal devices), the unit will not detect it.
-
This is a regulatory limitation, not a hardware failure.
It Does NOT Jam or Disable Drones
-
The DroneTracker kit is a detection and awareness tool only. It does not interfere with flight or GPS.
-
Jamming, spoofing, or takedown functions are illegal for civilian use and are not included.
It Does NOT Record Video or Audio
-
The unit does not contain any microphone or camera. It only scans digital RF signals from drones broadcasting Remote ID.
It Can’t Detect Encrypted Military Drones
-
Military or highly encrypted drones using proprietary non-standard signals are not detectable with this unit.
It Doesn’t Work in Deep RF Shielded Zones
-
Areas with signal shielding, strong jammers, or dense urban radio interference may reduce detection range.

FAQs + LTE Plan Info
What Does the ADS DroneTracker™ 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.
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 12 months of LTE access for free, enabling:
-
Remote cloud sync
-
Detection history
-
Device access via mobile/desktop apps
-
Future notification features
After the first year, subscription plans are available:
-
3 months: $99
-

-
Multi-year enterprise plans available upon request
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 12-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)
