Introducing Ventus.

A lightweight, accessible, and modular drone-based aerial security system with real time person detection, Ventus allows the usage of drones to secure environmentally sensitive areas with the help of machine learning and GPS Real Time Kinematics.

People. No longer part of the equation.

Ventus eliminates the need to have park rangers or other authorities patrolling the protected area, which not only reduces the risk of people being harmed while working, but also leaves the environment less disturbed. When a person or other object of interest is found, its location is sent back without any need for an operator.

Connectivity in Seconds.

Ventus utilizes a LoRa networking system to enable communication in the most remote environments. This eliminates the need for a Cellular, WiFi, or other network to be present in the protected area, making deployment easier than ever.

Modularity.

Ventus is built around a class system - a leader, a second in command, and followers. While it is recommended to use three to five drones, you can use 2 at minimum, or a maximum of however many will connect to the primary drone.

Division of Labor.

Ventus' class system allows for the usage of more powerful equipment in the sky. All classification is done on board in real time, and distributing video capture, GPS, and classification allows for the usage of more advanced drones while still adhereing to weight limits.

Open Source.

The goal of Ventus is to enable users to secure otherwise difficult to monitor areas to prevent the unwanted presense of people in the area to make environmental protection a more accessible objective. By being an open source project, end users can freely use and modify the software to perfectly suit their application, and by being free for usage in environmental protection, groups that previously didn't have the ability to properly secure an environmentally sensitive area now can.
