Last year at Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, DRONELIFE got to see two amazing products at work. Demonstrated by the Las Vegas Police Department and Sundance Media Group, the Autel Evo II flew over a mock nighttime crime scene for evidence documentation: and Pix4Dreact, Pix4D’s real-time mapping solution for law enforcement, sent the scene to a large screen on a command vehicle nearby so observers could get immediate and exact situational awareness. Now, Autel and Pix4D are partnering to provide public safety teams with that same powerful product combination.

“We are very proud to partner with Autel Robotics to bring this simple-to-use yet powerful drone-mapping solution to first responders”, says Christopher Cressy, Managing Director for Pix4D North America. “The Evo II is an impressive drone platform and ideally suited to public safety missions. It’s light, fast, and easy to operate. Paired with Pix4Dreact and a simple laptop computer, any drone pilot or responder on the ground can generate and share a high-resolution scale map in minutes, anywhere in the world, with or without network connectivity.” Gary DeLuca, Autel Robotics USA’s CEO, adds “At Autel Robotics, we are proud to offer the fastest rapid-deployment aircraft in the industry, and the speed of Pix4Dreact is the ideal complementary application for our aircraft. No other application, and no other aerial product in public safety and construction industries output actionable data as efficiently, accurately, and with quality orthomosaics as Pix4Dreact partnered with Autel Enterprise.”
