Security drones are no longer a novelty. Across data centers, corporate campuses, solar farms, and high-value commercial properties, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are transitioning from occasional surveillance tools to integrated, autonomous assets embedded within enterprise security operations. What began as manual flyovers for perimeter checks has evolved into sophisticated workflows where drones launch automatically in response to alarms, stream live video into command centers, and coordinate with counter-drone systems to protect airspace. Our new research report looks at the impact of drones on the commercial video surveillance industry. Security Drones Market Is Small But Growing Fast Drone adoption for video surveillance remains relatively niche. Within the broader commercial drone ecosystem, which spans agriculture, energy, construction, and more, security and surveillance applications account for approximately 6% of hardware and software sales in 2024. In absolute terms, that translates to a global market of just over $500 million in 2024. Growth is being driven by high-value, specialized […]
