Challenge

Five gated entrances, five separate recorders, five isolated systems. Officers could only see the post they were standing at, and pulling footage after an incident meant physically visiting whichever gate held the recording. The legacy platform offered no automated detection — every search was a person scrubbing through hours of video, and every vehicle that entered the property was a manual note or nothing at all.

The grounds themselves compounded the problem: a property this size can’t be covered by fixed cameras alone without an unreasonable device count. And none of it could go offline. Residents and guests pass through controlled entries around the clock, so the property had to stay recorded from the first day of work through final handoff.

Solution

Wiztec audited the existing deployment, documented the full camera inventory and network topology, and migrated the property onto Turing Vision — a cloud-managed platform with on-premise recording and edge AI analytics. Serviceable cameras were retained and brought across via ONVIF rather than forced into a full rip-and-replace, protecting the client’s existing investment.

Sixty-six cameras now cover the five gated entrances and surrounding grounds, with AI license plate recognition at every vehicle lane, detection zones and optics calibrated on site for accurate capture in both daylight and infrared.

A DJI Dock 3 autonomous drone system extends coverage beyond fixed camera positions, launching on demand for aerial views no pole-mounted camera can provide. Each entrance received its own recorder with RAID-protected storage sized to the client’s retention requirement.

Result

Security staff monitor all five entrances and the grounds from a single station instead of one gate at a time, on a purpose-built video wall in the security office. Every vehicle entering or leaving the property is captured automatically and searchable by plate, turning incident review from an hours-long manual process into a search query.

The drone gives officers an aerial perspective within minutes of a call rather than dispatching a cart across the property. Management and Wiztec both check system health remotely without a site visit, and because recording stays local to each entrance, coverage continues uninterrupted whether or not the internet does.

Autonomous drone-in-a-box deployment

Wiztec deployed and commissioned a DJI Dock 3 autonomous drone station with a DJI Matrice 4TD thermal drone for the club. The dock is installed outdoors and is now connected to the FlytBase cloud platform, so the club’s security team can launch and monitor flights remotely from a web dashboard without a pilot on site.

Scope of work

  • Site installation: set up the dock with AC power, grounding, and the emergency-stop and backup-battery systems.
  • Wireless network link: connected the outdoor dock to the building’s existing network over a point-to-point wireless bridge, with no trenching or new cabling.
  • Commissioning: completed on-site deployment with the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise and the DJI app, including RTK location calibration for precision landing.
  • Firmware: updated the dock, aircraft and controller to current versions.
  • Aircraft integration: installed the drone in the dock and paired it with the dock.
  • Cloud integration: registered the system on FlytBase through DJI’s third-party cloud (MQTT) interface, enabling remote mission planning, live video, and fleet management.
  • Validation: troubleshot cloud connectivity end to end and completed a successful first flight.

Result

A fully operational, remotely managed drone system that provides on-demand aerial and thermal coverage of the property, ready for scheduled patrols and event-triggered response.

Scope of work

What we did

  • Existing system audit, camera inventory and network documentation
  • Migration of existing IP cameras to the new platform via ONVIF
  • Installation and commissioning of 66 cameras across five gated entrances
  • AI license plate recognition at every vehicle entry and exit lane
  • DJI Dock 3 autonomous drone system — siting, integration and flight operations setup
