🛡️ SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE · BELFORT (90) · €600–2,500 PER DAY
Drone security & surveillance in Belfort
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 Belfort
Strategic lock of the Belfort Gap, the city is dominated by its Vauban citadel and Bartholdi's monumental Lion (22 m long), carved in pink sandstone to honour the resistance of 1870-71: two spectacular aerial subjects above the pink old town. Belfort-Chaux aerodrome (LFGG) to the north and the proximity of the EuroAirport and Swiss airspace (some forty kilometres away) call for careful chart reading, along with sensitive industrial estates.
Belfort is a French energy capital: gas and steam turbines (General Electric/Alstom), hydrogen (McPhy), rail manufacturing in Belfort-Montbéliard with Alstom, and the vehicle-of-the-future cluster. Typical drone missions: industrial communication, roof and energy-facility inspection, construction monitoring, images of the Eurockéennes festival site (under conditions) at the Malsaucy lake, and memorial tourism around the fortifications.
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 Belfort?
Almost: Aérodrome de Belfort-Chaux (LFGG); Emprises industrielles sensibles (énergie); Proximité de l'espace aérien suisse et de l'EuroAirport à l'est. Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
