🛡️ SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE · NÎMES (30) · €600–2,500 PER DAY
Drone security & surveillance in Nîmes
Sprawling sites, long fences, blind corners: around Nîmes, a scheduled aerial patrol effectively complements guards and CCTV, at a fraction of the cost of an extra team. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Nîmes and its department (30) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Outlets are varied: showcasing exceptional Roman heritage (the arena, the UNESCO-listed Maison Carrée, the Magne tower), real estate and hotels in a gateway city to the Camargue and Cévennes, Costières de Nîmes vineyards, and monitoring of flood-defence works against Cévenol storms, a recurring issue that drones document effectively. Nîmes' particularity: Nîmes-Garons airport to the south hosts the French civil-security air fleet (Canadair water bombers, Dash aircraft), whose activity intensifies sharply in fire season — its CTR and the bombers' low trajectories demand serious coordination in summer.

Frequently asked questions
Security & surveillance in Nîmes: what budget should you plan?
Allow €600–2,500 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Nîmes, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
Is drone surveillance legal in Nîmes?
Yes, over the monitored site's private footprint and on behalf of its operator: flights comply with local airspace rules (CTR de Nîmes-Garons (base des avions de la Sécurité civile)) 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.
