Responder drones, interfaced with 911 systems, can arrive at the scene of a crime in 70 seconds and monitor it in real time.
BRINC has introduced a drone called the Responder drone, designed for public safety and emergency response. The drone, along with its charging station (Responder Station) and operating software (BRINC LiveOps), is capable of reaching the scene of a 911 call in less than 70 seconds — faster than actual first responders — by tapping into 911’s alarm system to provide on-scene situational awareness. The drone is also capable of performing tasks such as dropping off first aid equipment, helping to provide emergency help before personnel arrive.
Responder provides live monitoring and is capable of transporting first aid equipment such as EpiPens, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), life preservers, or naloxone.BRINC has also introduced a companion Responder Station charging station and BRINC LiveOps drone operating software.
BRINC has deployed its products in more than 500 public safety agencies in the U.S. and plans to launch four drone EMS response programs by the end of 2024.
