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.
