FlytBase Software for Docked Drone Fleets: One Platform to Plan, Automate, and Integrate Every Dock

FlytBase is a hardware-agnostic autonomy platform that gives organizations a single layer for running docked drones remotely across one site or many. Dronefly offers FlytBase as one-year plans licensed by dock, plus Flink integrations that carry drone imagery and live video into the mapping, security, and video management systems a program already depends on.

For program managers and integrators, the value is in how the pieces fit together. A plan sets the operating model for each dock, including how much AI is available, how many people can watch live video, and which alarms and outside systems can start a mission. Flinks then decide where the data goes once the drone lands. Building the right combination at the start keeps a program from outgrowing its software as docks are added.

The FlytBase Operating Model: From Trigger to Mission to Delivered Data

Every FlytBase deployment follows the same loop. A mission begins on a schedule, from an operator in the cockpit view, or automatically when an alarm source such as a camera, motion sensor, or fence detector reports an event. The docked drone launches, flies its planned route in 3D, and streams live video to a video wall, operators, or secure guest links for outside partners. Onboard and platform AI flag people, vehicles, boats, or custom targets defined through Verkos agents, and alerts go out through Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, or Telegram. When the flight ends, Flinks push imagery to Pix4D or DroneDeploy for mapping, or feed video into Genetec Security Center and Milestone XProtect, so the drone becomes part of the systems the organization already runs rather than a separate tool.

FlytBase Plans and Flink Integrations Offered by Dronefly

• Enterprise Base Package for DJI Dock 3: a one-year license for a single Dock 3 that includes unlimited sites, users, and cloud storage.
• Enterprise Lite: a per-dock plan covering remote operations, mission scheduling, and basic AI detection for smaller programs.
• Enterprise AI: a per-dock plan built around configurable Verkos agents, Aeroflo automation, Akara mapping, and Prediq maintenance.
• Secura AI: a per-dock plan for security and DFR operations, adding incident response, CCTV ingestion, and forensic AI search.
• Octane AI: a per-dock plan aimed at oil and gas operators, adding asset management and inspection templates for tanks and wellheads.
• Flink Pix4D: a yearly connector that delivers mission imagery to Pix4D Cloud Advanced for digital twins.
• Flink DroneDeploy: a yearly connector that moves dock and manual mission imagery into DroneDeploy.
• Genetec Advanced Flink: an off-the-shelf connector that brings drone video and event-triggered missions into Genetec Security Center.
• Milestone Advanced Flink: an off-the-shelf connector that adds drones as deployable video sources in Milestone XProtect.

Capacity and Control Factors That Shape a Fleet Plan

• Dock count: per-dock licensing means the number of plans should match the number of docks in service.
• Viewer demand: programs with many remote viewers benefit from the 150,000-minute plans over Enterprise Lite's 30,000.
• AI workload: Verks fund AI agents and workflows, so heavier detection programs call for Secura AI's larger allowance.
• Centralized command: the one-to-many console lets a single operations center manage several docks together.
• Identity management: enterprise SSO on the AI plans ties FlytBase access to existing company accounts.
• Maintenance and compliance: Prediq tracks fleet maintenance and compliance records on the AI plans.
• IT review: security teams assessing the Dock 3 Base Package get SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR documentation.
• Support coverage: priority email, chat, and phone support suits programs that cannot wait on email alone.

Linking Drone Operations to the Systems Your Organization Already Runs

• Mapping platforms: Pix4D and DroneDeploy Flinks remove the manual export between flight and site model.
• Video management: Genetec and Milestone Advanced Flinks place drone feeds beside fixed cameras in the VMS.
• Alarm-driven dispatch: camera alarms, perimeter breaches, and access control events can launch preset missions.
• Team messaging: alerts reach Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, and Telegram on the AI plans.
• Data handoff: Media and Mission Flink webhooks pass flight data to other business systems.
• Outside partners: secure guest sharing gives contractors and agencies view access without full accounts.

Industries Building Programs on FlytBase

• Corporate and critical infrastructure security: alarm verification and scheduled patrols across distributed facilities.
• Public safety agencies: drone as first responder programs with live incident response.
• Oil and gas operators: recurring inspections of refineries, terminals, pipelines, tank farms, and well pads.
• Construction and mining firms: repeat flights that feed progress tracking and site models.
• Utilities and solar operators: thermal alerts and AI spot checks across large remote assets.
• Transportation and ports: configurable AI watching railways, highways, and terminals.

Planning a FlytBase Rollout With Dronefly

• Inventory the docks: list every dock in the program so each one is licensed.
• Define the mission mix: match plans to security, inspection, or general operations at each site.
• Size the AI and video load: compare Verks and Video Viewer Minutes against expected use.
• List connected systems: identify the mapping, VMS, and alarm platforms the program must feed.
• Plan for growth: choose plans with one-to-many control if more docks are coming.

A FlytBase program works best when plans, Flinks, and docks are chosen as one system rather than piece by piece. Starting with the right operating model for each dock, and the right connections to the systems around it, gives the program room to grow without a software change down the road.

Dronefly works with integrators and program managers to configure FlytBase plans and Flinks across their dock fleets, from a single site to multi-site operations. Our team can help size licenses, map integrations, and coordinate setup. Order FlytBase software from Dronefly today.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should we license FlytBase across a dock fleet?

Licensing follows the dock. The Enterprise Base Package covers one DJI Dock 3 for one year, while Enterprise Lite, Enterprise AI, Secura AI, and Octane AI are one-year plans licensed per dock. A fleet needs one license for each dock in service, and different docks can run different plans if their missions differ.

Which plan fits a multi-site program?

Enterprise AI, Secura AI, and Octane AI include a one-to-many operations console, so one team can coordinate several docks from a single operations center. They also add enterprise SSO, unlimited alarm sources, and priority support. Enterprise Lite is aimed at single-site or lower-complexity operations and is not built for one-to-many control.

How do Verks and Video Viewer Minutes affect plan sizing?

Verks fund AI agents and workflow tools, with Enterprise AI and Octane AI each carrying 250,000 and Secura AI carrying 350,000. Video Viewer Minutes govern live video viewing, ranging from 30,000 on Enterprise Lite to 150,000 on every other plan. Programs with many viewers or heavy AI use should size plans around both, and extra viewer minutes can be added separately.

Can FlytBase plug into our VMS and alarm systems?

Yes. The AI plans accept unlimited alarm sources, including CCTV, motion sensors, electric fences, and gunshot detection, so events can launch drone missions. The Genetec Advanced Flink and Milestone Advanced Flink put drone video inside Security Center and XProtect, where platform events can dispatch a mission. Secura AI lists VMS and CAD integrations as add-ons sold separately.

How does mapping data reach Pix4D or DroneDeploy?

The Flink Pix4D and Flink DroneDeploy integrations send mission imagery straight to those platforms for digital twins, change detection, and construction monitoring. Each requires an account on the destination platform, with Pix4D Cloud Advanced as the supported Pix4D product. DroneDeploy also offers an optional automated media sync for selected missions.

Does FlytBase only work with DJI docks?

No. FlytBase runs as hardware-agnostic autonomy software rather than a DJI-only tool. Within this lineup, only the Enterprise Base Package is tied to specific hardware, the DJI Dock 3 paired with Matrice 4D or 4TD aircraft, so contact Dronefly to confirm compatibility with other dock hardware before ordering a per-dock plan.
