🛡️ SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE · LYON (69) · €600–2,500 PER DAY
Drone security & surveillance in Lyon
Banks, depots and business zones along the Rhône and the Saône: around Lyon, linear sites are hard to watch from a vehicle. The drone covers the full perimeter in minutes, thermal sensor included. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Lyon and its department (69) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Local demand is driven by a powerful economy: headquarters and laboratories of the chemical valley (Seveso sites, no overflight without agreement), Part-Dieu and Gerland construction projects, commercial real estate, nearby vineyards (Beaujolais, Côtes du Rhône) and a UNESCO-listed heritage — Vieux-Lyon, Fourvière — much in demand for tourism and film work. Greater Lyon sits under the CTR of Lyon-Bron business airport, right next to the city, and is bordered to the east by the Lyon-Saint-Exupéry CTR: almost all urban flights happen at reduced height after coordination with air navigation services.

Frequently asked questions
Security & surveillance in Lyon: what budget should you plan?
Allow €600–2,500 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Lyon, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
Is drone surveillance legal in Lyon?
Yes, over the monitored site's private footprint and on behalf of its operator: flights comply with local airspace rules (CTR de Lyon-Bron) and image capture is limited to the client's perimeter, as GDPR requires. Public space remains the exclusive preserve of the authorities.
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.
