The Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College estimated that at least 910 state and local police, sheriff, fire, and emergency services agencies in the U.S. have acquired drones. The center said the number of public safety agencies with drones increased by 82% in the last year.
In addition to drones, Kaplan said the Edgybees software can work with video feeds from cameras on cars, helicopters, surveillance cameras, and even body cameras. He said they recently tested the software with a feed from an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) as well.
