🛡️ SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE · HYÈRES (83) · €600–2,500 PER DAY
Drone security & surveillance in Hyères
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 Hyères
Hyères-les-Palmiers combines a medieval hilltop old town, the modernist Villa Noailles, the double tombolo of the Giens peninsula and former salt flats frequented by flamingos. But the sky is tightly framed: Toulon-Hyères airport (LFTH) is a naval air station that also handles civil traffic, with a military CTR covering the coastal plain. Above all, the islands of Port-Cros and Porquerolles belong to the Port-Cros National Park, where recreational drone use is banned and any professional mission requires express park authorisation.
The economy is seaside and horticultural (the town remains a major producer of palm trees and cut flowers), with an intense sailing season (French Olympic Sailing Week). Typical drone missions: open-air resorts, real estate, Côtes de Provence vineyards, tombolo erosion surveys for local authorities — always after a careful check of the aeronautical chart.
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 Hyères?
Almost: CTR militaire de la base aéronautique navale de Toulon-Hyères (LFTH); Parc national de Port-Cros : drones interdits sauf autorisation; Salins et zones humides protégées (avifaune). Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
