Drone SAR For Lost Dogs UK

[eastsuffolkdrone]

Hi Graham, how do I go about registering for this? Would I need a heat-source camera? I have a friend who does this without a drone and I’ve copied your poster over to her to find if it would be any use to them. Also, what about insurance. I have my own (£2m liability), but I’ve kept it non-commercial so far.

You can join the group on Facebook. I read earlier that the venture is not regarded as commercial. But check about volunteer work with your insurers.

Drone SAR for lost dogs

Hi all hope it’s ok but I thought I’d mention a Facebook group I’ve been a member off for some time now called Drone SAR for lost dogs. It is a nation wide group and if a dog goes missing in your area they will send you a message asking if you can assist with the search. I have been involved with quite a few searches that have been successful in finding the dogs after being spotted by a members drone. If you would like to combine the hobby of flying drones with helping people find their lost …

They use there own insurance with coverdrone

So as long as you are a member and responding to a job they have asked you to attend then you are covered

Too late I fancy.

Meta’s issue was getting caught

I helped look for a dog a few months ago. One local group of dog searchers were adamant my mini 3 pro would frighten the dog and make it run even further and faster.

Unfortunatly, I am not a facebook person and would never be. The idea of looking for dogs is something I do anyway in our area. That is fine with me. just the facebook thing. Do not trust it.

And perhaps that is the way to go for all those that may be concerned about the whole Facebook privacy, and notification thing. Create a fictional Gmail account with the very basic information and use that to register with Facebook as a completely new entity and once again only use the very basic information requirements. To a certain extent, you have to know your way around some of Facebook’s automatic settings but nothing a little time would take. I’ve toy’d with the idea of creating a completely new one just for the drone and music groups I’m a member of and running that on my laptop only.

How do you avoid the intelligent spying that facebook does with the way it works. I do not like the idea that to know what it is doing they recon you should read the T’s & C’s every week (or even day). It is a platform that I can not and would not trust. It is a shame no many things rely on facebook. I will see if I know anyone in the area who are on facebook to be a relay for me. So I am still in the loop.

If we could keep this thread on the subject of DroneSAR please, rather than a social media privacy discussion. Thanks

Oops missed this. Sorry.
