🛡️ SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE · ANNEMASSE (74) · €600–2,500 PER DAY
Drone security & surveillance in Annemasse
Drones have become a remarkably effective security auxiliary: alarm verification in minutes where a patrol takes an hour, perimeter surveillance of large industrial and logistics sites, thermal cameras detecting a human presence at night several hundred metres away, inspection of fences and blind spots of fixed cameras. Paired with a security control room, they multiply a ground team's coverage without multiplying headcount.
We offer one-off missions (surveillance of a private event, a sensitive construction site over a weekend, intrusion searches) as well as recurring arrangements in partnership with licensed private security companies holding the required CNAPS authorisations. Every mission undergoes a prior legal review: image capture falls under GDPR and, for public roads, under a framework strictly reserved for the authorities.

The local context in Annemasse
Urban heart of the French Genevois, Annemasse forms with Geneva a cross-border conurbation of more than 600,000 inhabitants, linked by the Léman Express. For drone pilots it is a textbook case: the Geneva-Cointrin CTR spills far over the French side and severely caps flights across the whole sector, Annemasse aerodrome (LFLI) — very active in light aviation — adds its own zone, and the nearby Swiss border means knowing Swiss rules the moment you cross it. The Salève, "Geneva's balcony" reached by cable car, offers spectacular panoramas over Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.
The local economy is driven by cross-border employment, booming construction (Greater Geneva's property pressure is among the highest in France) and commerce. Common drone missions: monitoring of housing and infrastructure projects (tramway, Léman Express), real estate, imagery of the Salève and the Arve valley — always after a careful study of authorised ceilings.
Applicable regulations
Private drone surveillance is only lawful above private property with the site operator's consent: drone surveillance of public roads is reserved for law enforcement under a specific legal framework. Night flights, essential for security work, are prohibited in the open category and require the specific category (an operational authorisation with SORA risk assessment or a suitable scenario). Added to this are French internal-security code obligations for surveillance activities (CNAPS licence for the partner security company) and GDPR: informing site employees, minimising capture, limited retention of recordings. AlphaTango registration, height under 120 m, pilot trained in night thermal operations.
Frequently asked questions
Can a drone monitor the street outside my business?
No: drone image capture of public roads is reserved for the authorities (police, gendarmerie) under a strict legal framework. We only monitor the interior of your property, with the camera angled to exclude public space.
Can the drone fly at night for surveillance?
Yes, but only in the specific category with a suitable operational authorisation, which we hold. Thermal cameras make night detection far more effective than conventional CCTV.
Can the footage serve as evidence in case of intrusion?
Yes, if capture was lawful: flight over your own property, declared system, employees informed. Time-stamped recordings are then admissible and handed to law enforcement if charges are filed.
Can this service be flown anywhere in Annemasse?
Almost: CTR de Genève-Cointrin débordant côté français (plafonds très bas); Aérodrome d'Annemasse (LFLI); Frontière suisse : réglementation drone différente. Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
