AI Detection

The onboard AI recognizes people and vehicles and guides the machine along planned patrol routes — without constant operator supervision.

POS. 3 · PTZ pan/tilt head

The Eye That Sees Everything

Endless 360° rotation, tilt −20° to +60°, 4K with 30× zoom, thermal imaging and a laser rangefinder. It identifies an intruder's face from as close as 0.7 m in front of the machine.

POS. 2 · solar lid

Charges from the Sun

A monocrystalline panel ~60 Wp continuously tops up energy during patrol. Full charging is handled by the automatic 48 V docking station.

POS. 13 · battery module

Swapped in Under a Minute

Li-Ion 48 V / 60 Ah (2.9 kWh). The swappable module slides out through the rear portal — a spare charges in the station meanwhile. Zero-downtime operation.

POS. 6 + 11 · tracks and belt drive

Whisper-Quiet Operation

A toothed belt instead of a chain, rubber tracks and low BLDC motor RPM. Under 60 dB(A) at one meter — the patrol is almost silent.

POS. 4 + 5 · 5G and GNSS RTK

Always on the Map

Precise positioning via GPS RTK, connectivity over 5G, WiFi 6 and VPN. Draw geofences and patrol zones remotely from the dispatch center.

Frequently asked · FAQ

What Customers Ask

autonomous site security
ground drone · UGV

How long does Sterobyt last on one patrol?

At least 10 hours. Average power draw is ~240 W, and the 2.9 kWh battery includes a ~20% reserve. The ~60 Wp solar lid tops up energy during the day, and the automatic docking station ensures a full charge.

How noisy is the drone in operation?

Under 60 dB(A) at one meter — thanks to a belt drive instead of a chain, rubber tracks and low BLDC motor RPM, the patrol is nearly silent.

What happens when the site is breached?

An escalating response sequence kicks in: illuminating the target, a personalized announcement, siren with strobe, the operator's live voice, and finally automatic notification of the response service or police, with an evidence record.

Is the recording GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Recording of individuals and the response are subject to GDPR — the mode is set by the customer's operating policy. Every event stores video before and after the incident, GNSS position and exact time.

Does it handle winter and rainy conditions?

Yes. The machine has IP65 ingress protection, an IP67 vent membrane, and is designed to operate from −20 to +50 °C.

How does battery replacement work?

The swappable Li-Ion 48 V / 60 Ah module slides out through the rear portal — the swap takes under a minute and a spare module charges in the station meanwhile, so the patrol runs without downtime.
