Drone Investigations / Drone Mapping

Capture. Preserve. Defend.

Our FAA-certified drone pilots at Covert Special Investigations provide high-resolution aerial insight to document, analyze, and support insurance claims with precision. From crash scene mapping to surveillance in hard-to-reach places, we deliver results from the air when it matters most.

🔷 Accident Scene Mapping & Reconstruction

Aerial drone mapping allows us to digitally reconstruct intersections, vehicle positions, skid marks, and terrain conditions — all with centimeter accuracy. Our photogrammetry and orthomosaic models are built quickly and safely, giving adjusters, attorneys, and engineers data-rich imagery to evaluate liability.

🔷 Traffic Signal Timing & Light Sequencing

We use aerial video footage to record traffic light changes, timing sequences, and lane movements. This visual evidence helps clarify liability at intersections and supports expert analysis.

🔷 Surveillance in Remote and Rural Areas

When claimants live in isolated or rural regions, traditional surveillance methods may fail. Drones give us silent, elevated visibility across properties, barns, fields, or canyons — capturing activity from a distance without disruption.

 

​🔷 Fire Loss & Roof Inspections

Drone technology lets us assess fire and storm damage from above, inspecting

inaccessible areas like second-story roofs or collapsed structures. We provide

rapid aerial assessments for scope validation and cause analysis. Our drones 

possess a 56x zoom capability, allowing us to zoom in and capture great detail

and document minor hail damage, hairline cracks and other relevant details

generally missed without such great resolution. 

🔷 Locating Stolen or Hidden Vehicles

​When GPS pings or tips lead us to a location, drones are an effective tool for scanning properties, outbuildings, tree cover, or commercial yards. High-altitude surveillance helps investigators visually confirm the presence of concealed or stolen assets.

🛡️ Legality & FAA Compliance

At Covert Special Investigations, we operate under FAA Part 107 commercial drone regulations, ensuring each flight is lawful, documented, and ethical. We avoid flights over private spaces where a subject has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and all footage is timestamped and geo-tagged for courtroom and claims validity.

  • FAA-certified pilots

  • Logged flight paths and altitudes

  • Chain-of-custody documentation available upon request

  • Conforms with Arizona statutes and evolving privacy laws

 

If you're using drone footage for claims or defense, you need it done right — and legally.

Take Your Investigation Higher

Whether you need an aerial assessment of a fire loss, surveillance in rugged terrain, or a drone flyover to detect fraud — we bring unmatched visual intelligence to your case.
