Drone security & surveillance in Montauban
In Montauban, the sites along the Tarn — quays, warehouses, riverbank works — are large and open: the drone rounds them in one flight, detects intrusions and anomalies, and documents every finding in high definition. In Montauban as across the department (82), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
Prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne, 50 km north of Toulouse, Montauban is one of the oldest bastide towns of the South-West: its Place Nationale with double rows of pink-brick arcades, the 14th-century Pont Vieux over the Tarn and the Ingres Bourdelle museum make remarkable aerial views. Mind the military estates: the city hosts the 17th parachute engineer regiment, whose grounds are no-fly, and Montauban aerodrome (LFDB) borders the city to the north-east. Montauban's economy relies on food and fruit production (Quercy melon, nearby Moissac chasselas grapes), growing logistics along the A62 and a fabric of construction SMEs.

Frequently asked questions
Security & surveillance in Montauban: what budget should you plan?
Allow €600–2,500 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Build the overflight-authorisation lead time for Montauban into your schedule: several weeks depending on the case.
Is drone surveillance legal in Montauban?
Yes, over the monitored site's private footprint and on behalf of its operator: flights comply with local airspace rules (Emprises du 17e régiment du génie parachutiste (survol interdit)) and image capture is limited to the client's perimeter, as GDPR requires. Public space remains the exclusive preserve of the authorities.
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.
