Dronetag 4G Modem Upgrade

Scout is drone-agnostic. It captures all Broadcast / Direct Remote ID signals (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) from compliant drones and modules (e.g. DJI, Autel, Skydio). Data is forwarded to the Dronetag App or to your own system, depending on the operating mode.

Scout is drone-agnostic – it detects Remote ID from any compliant drone or module. If a drone does not transmit Remote ID, Scout cannot detect it.

• For basic operation (Sensor mode), no license is required.
• If you want to use Cloud or On-Premise modes with the full visualization platform, a software license is required.

It is technically possible to start with Scout in Sensor mode and upgrade later by purchasing a license.

However, we strongly recommend deciding in advance:

• Sensor mode requires integration of Scout’s raw data into your own platform, which often means additional costs and development effort.
• Licensed modes (Cloud or On-Premise) give you a complete solution with our visualization platform, ready to use out of the box.

• Scout device
• PoE power supply (included with Scout, Ethernet cable not included)
• Internet connectivity (for Cloud mode) or a local server (for On-Premise)
• Account in Dronetag App (for Cloud mode)

Scout supports several operating modes:

• Sensor – Raw detection data only, no license needed
• Sensor+ – Raw detection data with our technical assistance, license is required
• On-Premise – Local map and visualization without Internet
• Cloud – Full remote monitoring via Dronetag App (requires Internet + license)

• Install outdoors or with a clear view of the sky.
• Higher placement = better reception (rooftops, poles, towers).
• Avoid obstacles like walls or large metal structures.

• Scout Baseline comes with omnidirectional antennas.
• For wider coverage or monitoring specific sectors, use directional antennas (e.g. 90° panels).

Scout can be deployed worldwide. It detects drones that comply with Remote ID standards in the EU, US, Japan, Singapore, and other regions adopting these rules.

No. If a drone does not transmit Remote ID, Scout cannot detect it. This includes some sub-250 g drones or drones in regions where Remote ID is not required.

No. The drone does not need to be flying, but it must have a GNSS fix and the motors must be running. Once these conditions are met, the drone starts broadcasting Remote ID, and Scout can detect it.

• Cloud Mode: Data shown in the Dronetag App, accessible remotely.
• On-Premise Mode: Local server with Dronetag maps and visualization.
• Sensor Mode: Raw detection data for integration into your own system.

Yes. When the Remote ID message includes pilot position, Scout can display it alongside drone data. When not, it show you take-off location.

• Range: Up to 10 km with included omnidirectional antennas. Directional antennas (90° panels) extend range and focus detection.
• Speed: Real-time detection with immediate data transfer.

Scout requires a PoE power supply (802.3af/at). It is designed for continuous operation in fixed installations.

Scout comes in a weatherproof IP-rated enclosure, built for outdoor, 24/7 monitoring (rooftops, poles, towers). It works reliably in harsh environments.

Yes. Scout can deliver data via APIs for integration into C-UAS, UTM, or other third-party systems. In Sensor Mode, raw data can be fed directly to your platform.

In the Dronetag app, you can share live data from your Dronetag Scout with another user who also has a Dronetag account.

This allows them to see your device in their list and view its current position on the map in the app.

✅ The selected user will now see your Scout under My Devices, marked with a shared-device icon. They will also see the device’s position on their map in the app.

Typically less than 15 minutes, depending on antenna installation and network connection.

SCOUT is making multiple outbound connections as TCP/HTTPS.
