Traditionally, surveillance includes GPS tracking, camera
operations, biometric surveillance and even stake-outs and one of many methods
are helicopters, which as you can imagine is incredibly costly.
But with the introduction of drones as a new method, it
is a more valuable tool as it is faster and easier for data collection. Drones
can enter tight and confined spaces, they can also produce little to no noise
and can also be equipped with a night vision cameras and thermal sensors, allowing
those collecting data to gather information that the human eye can’t see.
But will they breach privacy?
There is a concern that drone surveillance can allow
hackers to retrieve information, therefore beaching privacy. However, rest
assured, if a drone has a camera it is usually covered by the UK Data
Protection Act, which means data is protected and there are certain limitation
that those using Drone surveillance will have to adhere to by law.
