Industry Leaders in Infrared Hotspot Detection
A decade of experience flying drones over wildfires, finding millions of hotspots over thousands of fires.
Trusted by governments and industry
Hotspot detection of wildfires and industrial projects remains our primary focus. With the most hectares scanned, the most fires flown and the most piles called out, peace of mind is only a phone call away.

Advantages
Extend the operational period of wildfire suppression efforts and gather critical information about the fire’s location, intensity, and size.
Maps made by Hummingbird Drones™ provide fire managers with higher confidence compared to traditional scanning products and offer fire crews more effective, accurate intelligence. Thanks to advancements in drone technology and our night-time flying capabilities, our scan capacity is significantly greater than services requiring helicopters, all at a far lower cost.
Never send a crew out in a helicopter low and slow again. UAS crews are stationed at safe distance from the fire.
Safety
Managers gain a clear understanding of the fire’s location and where resources should be deployed. Crews on the ground can stop searching for heat and start actioning hotspots.
Efficiency
UAS teams are not limited by visibility. When air resources cannot lift-off, UAS teams can track the fire and locate the heat.
Reliability
Start actioning the fire 24 hours a day. UAS crews deploy at night and return with critical information before teams deploy in the morning.

Bring Your Drone Data to Life
How we do it
Our trained teams collect more data than any other UAS company. Using Hummingbird’s proprietary software Nova, our teams are able to process accurate hotspot products at scale.
Hummingbird Drones™ built Nova for our own teams. With it we’ve become North America’s most productive hotspot detection company.
Nova is a purpose built software solution designed to effectively use drones as a fire suppression tool. With a powerful artificial intelligence database for finding and locating heat with ready-made map templates for displaying information, Nova makes drone data accessible to everyone.
We’re making our proprietary software available at a cost every operator can afford so that everyone contribute.
Orthomosaic Tool
Convert images into high resolution georeferenced orthomosaics.
Hotspot Detection Tool
Upload infrared images and let the software find every hotspot within 10 feet.
Video Tool
See where your drone was when you capture video, live stream, and find colour.
