For search-and-rescue teams and incident command

One shared live aerial view for the whole search

When your certificated pilot puts a drone over the search area, Hover carries that feed live to incident command and every partner agency at once, over cellular, on a private link anyone can open in a browser. Everyone sees the same picture at the same time. Describe what you are looking for in plain language and the AI flags it on the feed, so a searcher can make the call faster.

In short: Hover is the shared live-video and coordination layer for a search. Your certificated pilot flies the aircraft; Hover carries the feed to incident command and partner agencies at once, on a private link that opens in any browser with nothing to install. It runs over the cellular links a search area actually has, and the AI flags what you describe so a searcher decides faster.

The coordination problem in a search

The aerial view lives on the pilot's controller, so command and the ground teams cannot see what the drone sees.
Mutual-aid and partner agencies show up with different radios and no shared screen.
The search area has patchy cellular and no fixed internet, and ordinary streams drop.
By the after-action review, the footage that mattered is scattered across phones and cards.
01

One live view for command and every partner

Your pilot flies as they always do. Point the drone's feed (RTMP, MAVLink telemetry optional) or a field camera (RTSP) at Hover and the aerial view goes live on a private, PIN-protected page. Incident command, mutual-aid teams, and partner agencies open the same link in any browser and watch the same feed at the same time, with nothing to install and no accounts to create. The relay is built for weak field links; on signal drops it retransmits so the feed recovers instead of freezing. Enable recording per deployment and the search files into a browsable recording with timestamps for the after-action review.

02

Your pilot stays in command, the AI assists

Hover does not fly anything and does not make decisions. Your certificated pilot operates the aircraft, in command at all times, inside its own safety systems. What Hover adds is the shared feed and a second set of eyes on it: describe what you are searching for in plain language, for example a person in the water or movement on a hillside, and the AI flags candidates on the feed as they appear, with each moment on record. A searcher always makes the call. The AI surfaces, the human decides.

What search-and-rescue teams get

Everyone on one picture.

Command, ground teams, and partner agencies watch the same live aerial view on a link you hand them.

A second set of eyes.

Describe the subject and get flagged when something matches, with the moment saved. A human always confirms.

Built for bad connectivity.

Runs over LTE, cellular, or Starlink, and recovers on drops, for the kind of links a search area really has.

Shareable and on record.

Hand a partner agency a link mid-search; finalize each session into a timestamped recording for the review.

03

Working with public-safety and DFR programs

If you run a drone-as-first-responder or public-safety program, Hover fits alongside it as the shared live-video and coordination layer, not a replacement for your operation. For coordinated multi-agency and first-responder deployments we work through partners who know your regulatory and procurement environment. Talk to us and we will point you to the right path.

FAQ

Who flies the drone?

Your own certificated pilot flies the aircraft, in command at all times. Hover does not fly anything; it carries the live feed from the drone your pilot is already operating to everyone who needs to see it.

Can partner agencies watch without accounts or software?

Yes. The live view is a private, PIN-protected page that opens in any browser. Incident command, mutual-aid teams, and partner agencies watch the same feed on a link you hand them, with nothing to install.

Does it work without cell towers or fixed internet at the scene?

It is built for weak field links. Streams ride LTE, cellular, or Starlink, and the relay retransmits on signal drops so the feed survives the kind of connectivity a search area actually has.

Can the AI help spot a subject?

Describe what you are looking for in plain language, for example a person in the water or movement on a hillside, and the AI flags it on the feed as it appears, with the moment on record. A human always makes the call; the AI surfaces candidates, it does not decide.

Is the search recorded for the after-action review?

Enable recording per deployment and each session finalizes into a browsable recording with timestamps, so the search can be reviewed and documented after the fact.

We run a drone-as-first-responder or public-safety program. Can Hover fit in?

Yes, as the shared live-video and coordination layer alongside your program. For coordinated multi-agency and first-responder deployments we work through partners; talk to us and we will point you to the right path.
