Italian police starts a drone surveillance program in Turin for security and law enforcement purposes
Italian Police have started a program to use multirotors for surveillance and law enforcement purposes in the city of Turin.
The drones – quadcopters in the available videos – are provided by the Italian/Swiss company Aerial View.

Here’s a statement from Omar Morando, Aerial View pilot:
“All the drones have a transmitter that sends in real time the video signal from the camera to a ground station, where there is a HD monitor that can visualise what the camera is recording. Besides you can see the same pictures with special glasses which have inside a micro-monitor. When you wear these glasses, you have the same sensation as you would watch a 42-inch monitor”
