Open, permeable perimeters
Campuses are designed for public access, so a fence line is not a meaningful security boundary.
Campuses
Airspace awareness over open, populated campuses.
DroneCore by Horizonte gives corporate, research and university campuses a single correlated low-altitude picture across open ground, rooftops and restricted buildings.
- Populated environments
- Open sites
- Alerting rules
- Zoned
- Data handling
- Privacy-aware
01Operational reality
More sensors don't automatically create better awareness.
High hobby-drone traffic
Routine recreational flights make raw detections a poor basis for a response decision.
Sensitive research and IP
Labs, data centres and executive areas need protection from close-range imaging and payload delivery.
Mixed stakeholders
Facilities, security and communications teams need the same picture at different levels of detail.
02What changes
One correlated picture, built from what you already operate.
One correlated picture
RF, radar, acoustic and camera evidence resolves into a single track list for the whole campus.
Zone-based alerting
Rules distinguish overflight of open lawns from approach to protected buildings.
Fewer nuisance alerts
Classification and confidence scoring suppress birds, weather and routine traffic.
Evidence for follow-up
Recorded tracks and imagery support incident reports and law-enforcement referrals.
03Example deployment
Multi-building research campus with open public access and protected zones.
- 01
Ingest
Rooftop RF sensors and a compact radar feed a campus-local DroneCore edge instance.
- 02
Correlate
Observations are associated into tracks with a running confidence score.
- 03
Understand
Zone rules escalate only tracks that approach protected buildings or loiter overhead.
- 04
Decide
Alerts reach the security operations centre and on-site guards through existing tooling.
04Integration examples
Designed to become part of the system — not another isolated system.
DroneCore by Horizonte is sensor-agnostic. It ingests from the equipment already deployed and publishes correlated tracks onward through documented APIs and open interfaces.

Case study · Research campus
Routine hobby traffic filtered out, real approaches escalated.
A research campus connected rooftop RF sensing and existing CCTV to DroneCore, so its small security team only sees drones that actually approach protected buildings.

06Questions
Frequently asked
?Do we need new sensors across the whole campus?
Usually not. DroneCore by Horizonte is sensor-agnostic and starts from existing CCTV plus a small number of RF or radar sensors placed for coverage.
?How do you avoid alerting on every hobby drone?
Zone rules and confidence scoring mean only tracks that approach protected areas or loiter overhead escalate to operators.
?How is privacy handled?
The system tracks aircraft, not people, and camera use, retention and access are configurable to your policy and local regulation.
?Can it integrate with our existing security operations centre?
Yes. Alerts and correlated tracks publish through documented REST and streaming interfaces into SOC and notification tooling.
