ADS DroneTracker™

What the ADS DroneTracker™ 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™ 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™ 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.

Question?: What does the ADS DroneTracker™ actually do?

The DroneTracker™ detects nearby drones in real time — including DJI, Autel, Skydio, Parrot, and more — by capturing Remote ID signals. It identifies the drone’s live location, the pilot’s position, and flight path, giving you instant situational awareness of potential aerial threats.

 

Who is this device for?
It’s built for public safety teams, private security, law enforcement, critical infrastructure sites, and private property owners who need fast visibility into drone activity with no complicated setup.

 

Does it need Wi-Fi to work?
No. The DroneTracker™ is LTE-enabled and works independently — just power it on and go. You can view detections from your phone or laptop instantly via our DroneTracker Airspace Command App on Google Play

 

How far does it detect?

The DroneTracker™ detects drones broadcasting Remote ID up to 3–5 miles  depending on environmental conditions.

 

Is LTE included? How does the data plan work?

 

YES — 12 months of LTE access is included FREE with every purchase!

After the 12 month free period ends, you'll have the option to renew:

• 3 months: $99

• 12 months: $299

• (Multi-year plans available upon request)

 

All plans include unlimited cloud access, detection history, and mobile/desktop app connectivity.

 

Can I order multiple units for a team or department?        Absolutely. Volume pricing is available for government agencies, schools, and enterprise clients. Reach out for a custom quote.

 

Why act now?
Drones are getting smaller, cheaper, and more disruptive — don’t wait for an incident to happen. Be prepared before the threat escalates. 

 

LTE Plan Information

 

 What you lose without a subscription after year free plan expires

 

• Cloud Connectivity (LTE) Disabled

  • The DroneTracker built-in SIM card and LTE modem will not function.

  • It won’t push detections to the cloud — no remote or unattended operation.

 

• No Cloud-Based Detection History

  • You won’t be able to access past detections via the Dronetag web or mobile apps.

  • No detection history is saved or retrievable later.

 

• No Access to Dronetag App (Full Version)

  • You’ll be limited to the Drone Scanner app, which:

    • Only shows live detections

    • Requires the phone to be nearby and unlocked

    • Does NOT store detections unless manually exported

 

• No API Access or Web Dashboard

  • All API features and integrations are locked behind a paid subscription.

  • You cannot build dashboards or pull detection data via API.

 

 

• No Alerts / Notifications (Planned Features)

  • Future features like push notifications, email, or SMS alerts will require a subscription.

  • Without a subscription, you’re limited to real-time local viewing only.

 

What Still Works Without a Subscription

 

• DroneTracker Scanner App (Free)

  • Can connect to the DroneTracker over Bluetooth or USB

  • Shows live detections while the app is open and phone is nearby

  • Allows manual export of logs during or after detection

 

• Basic Demo Mode

  • You can show live usage in-person (e.g., security demo with laptop or phone connected)

 

• The DroneTracker Hardware Still Beeps

  • It still detects drones and beeps, but you won’t see the data unless you're connected
