🛡️ SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE · BASTIA (2B) · €600–2,500 PER DAY
Drone security & surveillance in Bastia
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 Bastia
Corsica's leading port and the island's gateway, Bastia squeezes its amphitheatre-shaped old harbour between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church and the Genoese citadel of Terra Nova; Saint-Nicolas square, the rooftops of Terra Vecchia and the Cap Corse road make up the rest of the scenery. Bastia-Poretta airport (LFKB) lies 16 km south in the plain, but its CTR runs up the coastline: checks are required for any flight south of the city. The commercial port, vital to the island's supply chain, is a sensitive site.
Bastia's economy rests on the port (France's leading international passenger port, serving Italy and the mainland), commerce, the Haute-Corse administration and food production (clementines, nearby Patrimonio wines). Typical drone missions: tourism imagery of Cap Corse and hilltop villages, real estate, port and urban construction monitoring, events.
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 Bastia?
Almost: CTR de l'aéroport de Bastia-Poretta (LFKB) au sud; Emprise du port de commerce. Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
