How to preview real-time traffic detected by Dronetag RIDER?​

In order to preview nearby detected traffic, you need to switch to “global map” view.

You will see detected flight in your surroundings visible on the map. You can filter and preview data in real-time by selecting a time range from the dropdown menu at the bottom of the screen.

Each real-time detection can be tapped on, to expand details, display pilot position and identification data.

How to preview detection history?​

You can view a list of recent detections and open a detailed view for each of them. The detailed view allows you to re-play the flight, see the properties of the detection, and more. Detections can be also exported to CSV, JSON or KML.

How to export detection history?​

You can preview the exported data in various mapping software, such as Google Earth, QGIS, Mapbox, OpenStreetMap (OSM).

For example, let's take a look how to import the data into Google Earth.

  1. Open a detection in Dronetag App, tap 'Export' and choose the KML format.
  2. Visit https://earth.google.com/web/ and create a new project.
  3. Navigate to File > Open local KML file and select the exported file.

When viewing the detection history, you can filter for a specific timeframe​

This feature allows you to look at recorded flight history within a set timeframe at a specific place.

On the main screen, navigate to a place where you wish to display the historical view, and change the "Live" view into "History" view and choose the desired time range.

note

Please note that selecting a large time frame can take a while to load. Please be patient when selecting wide time frames.

It's also important to note that you currently cannot re-play the flights in this view (but only view them as a static snapshot). If you wish to re-play flights, please use the 'My detections' screen and search for a specific detection.

How to set Sound Alarm Volume​

You can set Sound Alarm Volume in 4 levels. To change factory setting, follow these steps: • Go to Dronetag app > Profile > My devices > Dronetag RIDER > Configuration > Sound volume > tap on the dropdown menu and choose desired volume

How to set LED Brightness​

You can set LED brightness to match your needs. To change factory setting, follow these steps: • Go to Dronetag app > Profile > My devices > Dronetag RIDER > Configuration > LED Brightnesse dropdown menu and choose desired brightness

How to set action button function​

The Action Button can be used to turn Sound Alarm ON/OFF. You can change factory setting to disable this functionality by performing following steps: • Go to Dronetag app > Profile > My devices > Dronetag RIDER > Configuration > Action button function > tap on the dropdown menu and choose preferred setup

How to turn Auto Scanning function on/off​

There is Auto Scanning mode turned on in factory setup. This means, that after RIDER is turned on and ready to scan, it will automatically start to scan. To disable this function and turn Scanning mode manually, follow these steps: • Go to Dronetag app > Profile > My devices > Dronetag RIDER > Configuration > Auto scanning > OFF

How to Whitelist Drones​

Focus on what matters most. This functionality of Dronetag RIDER enables user to recognize your own drones and either mute or completely ignore them, helping you avoid unnecessary notifications and save valuable scanning hours.

Two modes for whitelist drones​

Muted drones: RIDER detects your whitelisted drones and sends their data to the cloud, but you won’t get any LED or sound notifications for them. This allows you to later replay the full airspace situation — including both your drones and unknown drones — which can be valuable when analyzing flights or reviewing incidents.

Ignored drones: RIDER fully ignores whitelisted drones — it doesn’t collect their data at all, letting you save scanning time and focus entirely on external drones.

What using Whitelisting feature requires:​

  • Dronetag RIDER firmware version 1.4 or higher
  • Dronetag App version 2.138.0 or higher
  • (Optional) Dronetag Toolbox version 1.66.0 for advanced setup
