## Transcript

**[0:20]** hello everyone and welcome to neston I'm anik chatu leading business development for FlytBase in the emia region and I'm absolutely thrilled to have you all here today please drop a quick note in the chat letting us know where you're joining from and what excites you most about today's discussion also don't forget to share your thoughts on social media using hash nesen today we are diving into an exciting and critical topic AI forward do drones for smarter intrusion detection and parameter security security threats are evolving and traditional surveillance methods alone are no longer enough to ensure robust perameter protection the integration of AI powered autonomous drone operations is transforming security strategies across Industries enhancing real-time threat detection reducing response times and minimizing human risk throughout this session we'll explore how AI Automation and advanced drone docking technology are shaping the future of perameter security we'll

**[1:23]** also discuss real world applications challenges and the path forward for organizations looking to adopt this technology to shed more light on this topic we have an incredible lineup of speakers who bring deep expertise in AI drone technology and real world security implementations it is my pleasure to introduce hammed Mur the co-founder and director of spectro AI a pioneering company in Ai and spectral Imaging with a strong background in remote sensing and artificial intelligence hammed holds a PhD in goai from the University of Amsterdam his expertise spans High performance cloud computing Precision Agriculture and Environmental Protection making him a leading figure in leveraging AI for real world challenges next we have Dino vanison the CEO and founder of drone Stars PB a leading drone organization based in Netherlands as a certified DJI dealer drone Stars offers a wide range of services including drone sales training

**[2:23]** maintenance and repair catering to the B2B Market with a focus on integrating drones safely into their business observ operations also a huge thank you to our NJ 2025 sponsors the ones who are leading the way and the industry forward before we jump into the discussion a few quick housekeeping items please drop any questions you have into the Q&A or chat box we'll address them during our interactive Q&A session this session is being recorded and will be available after the event be sure to check out the booth area to learn more about our partners and their cutting AG Technologies and of course share your insights key takeaways and favorite moments using hash nestin all right now that we have said the stage I'm excited to hand over the mic to Mr hammed to dive deeper into the AI powered future of parameter security with autonomous drones hammed over to you thank you very much anit uh hello everyone hope that you enjoying the events my name is Amit medur CEO of spectro AI I think that

**[3:28]** the best is that I start sharing my screen to make sure that no technical issue exists uh which we should not falling does everyone see my screen now okay perfect let's go yeah yeah today we would like to just uh introduce you an a specific solution for the drones and the say with an AI which is called the brain box and technically I will share with you what is the brain box and what we are using yeah what is the brain box unfortunately the video I check it and narration is not really there but I just try to explain and uh you don't hear it ailia okay perfect yeah I just make an sound and explain Yeah we actually have a solution called the brainbox and it is a compact Edge customized computer that can be used actually on the portable or in the let's say set up on the site and technically it is coming with different application and actually it has pre-loaded algorithms and it has a connectivity over land Wireless 4G and technically it is for

**[4:31]** just being part of the network or totally locally processing because in Safety and Security it's very important that in the field just do all the processing locally and yeah that is very important if uh we are talking about security elements let's say and it has already an SMS and also warning uh features already part of that and Battery integrated and could be used also 24/7 if you keep it on the let's say the power and also it has a GPS and SIM card module inside and coming with different uh housing and also application to control but first application is De for drone and uh yeah all the algorithms are there people can use them play with the confidence to make sure and flight planning is included also is especially for the Enterprise uh drones uh the controller sorry I'm trying to explain fast because it's supposed to be narration even the speed estimation of the objects are integrated it means that if they are interested they can use it and def cam is another application to use it over the the brain box and people can just choose the algorithms set an alarm and

**[5:35]** also is not only for the drones and also for the ground robots actually this is something that we are now busy with when that some triggers happens uh dur ground robot can go of course you can find more information our website but just a review of that technically it is has a GPU based age computer and can go up to 60 FPS depends on the algorithms that they have and the good news is that if the clients and users has their own AI algorithms which is mostly deep learning they can even addit their algorithms and start using that via setting page and it also offering an hotspot that the controllers can connect to that or just the client's machine can connect to that and as I explained the other features are also there okay uh let's uh just a little bit dive into the deep for drone application which is specifically for the the controller as I say it's for Enterprise Group and just uh one I want to show you one of the examples for finding missing persons actually and in that case the pilot has it as a clip onto their trousers or the belt with them and very close

**[6:37]** to the controller and then they can actually just say okay I'm just searching for a missing person that might falling on the ground for example and then they have full control of the the what flight to fly what height to flly what Zoom what algorithm to choose and then when the Drone is start let's say in the uh scanning an area because as a pilot sometimes the Drone pass fast or just the environment is so destructing that actually it's not really that much useful to just looking into the controller in this case for example if I want to stop it as soon as the object is detected the location of object all also quickly communicated because the people needs to as soon as possible just move to the person and find it and start to detect it and another application especially for the let's say that environmental application is that when people wanted to detecting and mapping the on healthy trees for example because the DJI coming with multispectral and they can use algorithm preloaded and then just searching over an area and finding the let's say the trees

**[7:40]** that are really uh suffering from the health issue specifically they have some vegetation index that they can choose between them like nvdi n ndvi sorry and then uh these type of things can help and astronut they land they also have the location of the unhealthy trees that are existing there yeah just like quickly pass some more use cases when with the defa Drone happening like when in the fields just hovering and waiting for the objects to enter or just traffics as I showed you just uh checking the speed of the object or just in public safety for example in this case is a rib current detected to be in some part of the the coast lines in Netherlands and they want to see if someone just entering to that area and being danger and quickly getting the uh let's say that warning for the Coast Guard and also the traffic monitoring in terms of number of objects speed of the object okay that was the for drone of course the we wanted to make sure that it's also working with the yeah let's say the Drone in the Box technology and what is you seeing here is like integration of that for the specifically the doc 2 uh

**[8:45]** let's say that uh on-site processing technically it's uh providing power management let's say that internets and everything is needed if internet is needed otherwise it's totally locally processing on that and I just want to show you one use case on the uh yeah firefighters because they're also one of our let's say First Responders is the main clients of us at the beginning and the idea was that okay regularly drones can fly uh like with the using the FlytBase or flight H or different let's say the flight planning and in this case the Drone yeah going out of the box automatically and the dock to is secure in some places including the like Battery Systems and solar panel systems and the Drone goes up because the Drone has different sensor system can just uh do a lot of inspection for AI we using white and also zoom and also termal because it's a day and night 24/7 inspection and the Drone in different zoom level start to turning around and just in

**[9:45]** Clos range on midrange and the far rench just checking to see that if they can detect in Smoke and fire actually this is something that uh yeah just in the progress and as soon as they see they start to detecting on the smoke and forming that yeah yeah it's coming as I explained the in the two packages one is specifically for the Drone Enterprise drone and one is specifically for the uh DJI doc 2 but uh technically if this spring box is connected to the Lan and you have a stream like in rtsp rtmp or SRT format you can technically build it project and introduce it as a as a there uh let's say that uh processing unit and if I want to just show you one of the I thought that I might actually able to fly in real time but this is one of the sites for examples that now this morning I just did a record because they literally just uh 247 uh every 10 minutes there's an hanger area that they just flying and just I just go in there and just the scanning the the walls

**[10:48]** unfortunately there was no person this morning there but as soon as one person actually just showing up around the wall and then drone is detected and technically AR alarm is starting and maybe good to tell because AI algorithm sometimes suffering from the accuracy when the light condition changing and technically uh user has a option to just playing with the confidence in real time to calibrate it as fast as possible and even just uh sharing the URL of that it's not matter what flight planning actually is used but literally user can just uh bring the rtsp link of them yeah I hope that was on time an I sto sharing but if there are some questions please feel free uh hammed that was that was super in insightful and that was a great presentation and uh thank you for sheding the light on uh how we can actually leverage AI in uh prone Automation and all of the Drone operations and now we can uh bring in more amount of productivity with all of these operations and uh now I would

**[11:54]** like to call Dino on the stage now I would like to hand over the stage to dino who would share us more shed more light on how AI is being leveraged in the do drone operations so Dino over to you yeah thank you I get I'm trying to share my screen now so I hope everybody sees it now you see the screen yeah great uh yeah first I will tell something about myself I'm Dino Vanessa uh I'm the founder of drone Stars uh drone sour is founded in 2015 we just started as a business to Consumer dealer but started businesses to business already in 2016 uh which we are only focusing on at the moment um so yeah we are not just selling you the drones or the talking systems but we try to implement it in your in your company so we are also helping you uh by teaching the guys by getting you the the right permit uh by

**[12:55]** helping you with the maintenance and also helping you with the software and all the other things like uh maybe II algorithms from hammed or or anything else so we were basically helping you as a company to get like everything certified and get everything in your own hands so that you can fly uh by yourself uh this is quite uh U difficult at least in in our region in the Netherlands it's quite hard to get the permits right now but we are seeing that more and more permits will be granted so this is a good thing and this is also uh yeah we can also see this in our sales forume now so uh it's starting to grow now and also the security firms uh which is a very bigs business case in our area or our expertise um which I will tell you more and more about uh right now but then you know something about the company as well so uh I first want to start with this video I made so um I made this video together with FlytBase a couple months ago and it will give you a good example on how we

**[13:58]** are doing things but also how the security firms are currently using this docking system so let's see this video first you know maybe you can maximize the window I don't know just there was an icon there yeah

**[14:58]** right e yes so um going further into this uh business case in this security business case uh the big challenge of securing large areas we see a lot of security firms who as like

**[15:59]** uh yeah a big challenge of securing these large areas especially because of the traditional methods who are not like really inadequate anymore so um we see a lot of increasing challenges there are more Intruders they are faster they are smarter um so yeah we also need to have like better systems to detect these persons uh faster um and with a way that we don't need as much as uh um people anymore as as already needed at the moment because what we see here in the Netherlands it's there are a lot of people uh necessary to do this patrolling areas uh so you need a lot of guards and um there are not enough guards anymore here in the Netherlands and also it's very hard to get them um but beside that they also very costly and the rection time is sometimes very slow so what we say this docking system is not a replacement of this dock guards but it can be uh used as an extra so

**[17:03]** it can be your first eyes in the sky and um it's also with this uh traditional methods uh you might need a a lot more cameras uh to yeah detect and secure like this whole area um so it's also a coste effective way to remove some cameras and just put a docking system over there who can detect a persons automatically uh by AI or CCTV cameras or it can also uh give them uh a go-to location when there's a fence will be opened uh or it will be done by someone who is like not at the right jacket at the moment so yeah there are a lot of possibilities to make 100% sure that you are faster there staying there longer and uh already interact with the people who are on your uh field uh which are not allowed to be there at the moment so if we are going going further um yeah uh we can have a look at the limitation of this traditional way of doing

**[18:06]** security uh as I mentioned before these patrols are very expensive and they cannot cover all areas simultaneously so with this docking systems you have like less poles you need or less CCTV cameras and once you have seen this Intruder you can uh send the Drone up and it can follow the Intruder for 45 minutes it can even follow it for uh a couple kilometers so um yeah you are like really flexible you have like constant monitoring and you can also take immediate action by speaking to them directly so by securing these large areas uh you don't need as much cameras as as uh the moment now and you don't need as much guards as you have right now to secure it um then the DJI dog a powerful Security Solutions um solution uh which I already told so the do of the Drone is inside the dock uh next you see a video of it a photo

**[19:08]** of it as well um so it's it's basically on standby uh 24/7 so uh the moment there is like one automated trigger by a CCTV camera by a fence or anything else what needs to be trigger in the the dock the Drone will go up and you have like 45 minutes of eyes in the sky even with advanced technology like a thermal camera which is also mostly not on regular CCTV camera so yeah you can detect The Intruders faster you can um keep them in in in the field of you H and you can also directly share this with your ground troops or your guards or the police or anything else who need to be updated on the current situation on real time um B said that you have also the posib AB ility with an external speaker to speak to the person who's intruding your area uh and he's uh yeah you you can directly tell him that is not

**[20:09]** allowed to do what he is doing currently doing and that there will be consequences if he goes forward then the key benefits of a AI powered uh do drones um as I already mentioned you have like a faster response it's much more cost safely you have a wider coverage and it's a proactive way of um yeah communicating with your with your Intruders so yeah I see a lot of positive things over here so a modern security solution for today's challenge um continuous availability so it's 247 there uh it can be sick or it it it it will always work uh you have like Dynamic security and you are protecting your assets uh on a way smarter uh way than you are currently doing it um then if you have like a docking system already on your side you can do a lot

**[21:15]** more weed than just the surance uh or patrols uh you can also use it for inspection and maintenance what we see uh with the partners we are currently working is that there are mainly using it they are using it for 85% or for security reasons but they are now also starting to use it for inspection and maintenance so a lot of security uh firms are now also offering um the industrial areas uh to do an inspection for solar panels or uh any other thing that there is already on their site uh which uh will help you also to get like your uh investment back quite soon uh then you have emergency response HED already told you something about that as well so it can be also used for emergency response and you can directly share it also with uh emergency

**[22:15]** response uh like the police or the fire brigade or any anybody else who needs to have like a good situational awareness of that area uh before entering the area and then uh last but not least and we see a big increase over here as well is environmental monitoring so we see a lot of um the wasted uh uh uh so yeah the the the quality uh of the environment it it's going down a lot of people are doing things uh who are not right and they want to see it they want to detect it and they even even can detect it by AI I know there are algorithms who says okay like this uh thing is full so it need to be empty now or the the quality of the air is not good at the moment so yeah there also other things uh which will help you to uh make 100% sure that you are uh quite uh fast uh get your return on your

**[23:18]** investment and then as last I will say that like a food pro security strategy um I think it needs to have like docking systems because it's not um you're not um not doing the other things anymore no it's like something you need to put like an extra on the traditional way of doing things now so you still need like these guards if there is someone there walking and to remove the guy um you still need to have like CCTV cameras to get the first trigger uh but I think this is uh an extra thing um which will help you save money um and get a better um overview of what's happening on your area at the moment so this was the end of the presentation if there are any questions sure perfect uh thank you thank you so much hammed and Dino for sharing

**[24:20]** your insights and shedding light on the incredible advancements in AI power drone operations uh this is given us a deeper understanding of how do B drones are transforming security and surveillance and we see immense potential in this space with continuous AI advancements uh with that we can now Mo move to the Q&A sessions uh and I can see a lot of questions coming up so we can take up the first question uh it will be directed towards Dino hi what would be the power consumption of speakers uh at the Drone how would it impact the flight time and that's a good question yeah uh it will it will take a couple of minutes of your flight time but what we see uh DJI started with the dog one they have now the dog two and what we see is that the flight time is getting more and more and more so I am confident that in the near future there will come something new which even more flight time and also more payload capacity and also more sensors which you can put underneath or up on the Drone so yeah it might be uh um having a little uh issue right now that

**[25:26]** you are losing some minutes but it's only minutes and I'm 100% sure that this will be less and less in in the near future perfect thank you so much for the answer Dino and I see hammed has answered multiple questions in the chat box itself uh but still uh if you would like to elaborate more on the uh how the processing is done entirely on device and uh how you get the video feied more on the operational side of the brain works if you could shed more light on that we would love to know yeah absolutely because there were uh indeed uh this is quite a highlight that uh in security and safety sometimes people don't want that their streams get process over the cloud or let's say that going off the site and that's why this device brain box next to the dog or either in their buildings actually in their part of their network does all the processing on the edge device uh as I said up to four streams and up to 60 FPS locally and also if something is detected and also just processed and that's all o uh storing locally

**[26:30]** actually I just uh managed to uh run the def cam now live and then actually I hope that you see it now this is indeed the live stream now the real now really the dock is flying and then the stream uh was in the rtsp from the FlytBase and then technically the user when they creating this hanger project for example giving that rtsp as a link they can active the alarming and even they can choose if they want it recording happen in case or not uh but indeed all the processing happening fully local I would say perfect perfect uh so uh as we are already up on time uh I would just like to say thank you so much Dino and Hamed for sharing such in incredible insights and use thank you to all of you for your engagement questions and enthusiasm uh before we wrap up any final uh thoughts or any final words from Dino and Ham

**[27:31]** not from my side thank you very much again for opportunity yeah perfect thank you thank you everyone thank you everyone for attending the session uh also hammed uh uh would you like to mention so if there are any other questions please visit the booth section and you can directly have a conversation with the spectro AI team and uh get answers to your questions thank you very much an honestly I forgot it but you're doing great job thank you thank you so much thank you so much thank you so much din thank you everyone bye-bye bye bye
