Look for humanWhich drones work?
File review does not require a direct connection to a particular brand. What matters is a browser-readable photo or video format. DJI EXIF/XMP and SRT are used for telemetry; available data varies by model. Test your equipment before deployment.
Which files can I load?
JPG and PNG photos, and browser-supported MP4 or MOV video. Add matching DJI SRT files for video telemetry. A MOV or MP4 container does not ensure that every codec is supported.
Is footage uploaded?
It is not uploaded to Look for human servers. AI review and detection storage are local. When an operator chooses sharing or export, footage is handed over through the operator’s chosen channel.
Does it work offline?
Local analysis requires the model and app to be prepared in advance. Check readiness and your signed-in session before losing coverage. Fresh sign-in, shared sectors and team GPS need internet; uncached maps may be unavailable.
Is thermal imagery supported?
Yes, as thermal footage review with separate auxiliary heat hints. Operators must verify them; they can miss people and generate false alarms. This is not reliable automatic thermal person identification. The app does not measure body temperature or medical condition.
Can I use a phone or tablet?
The interface supports small screens. AI performance depends on memory, processor, browser and acceleration. Large footage may be impractical on a phone. Test the actual setup before deployment.
How do I get access?
Register with your name, unit and email. An administrator must approve the account. Pending status does not grant operational access; a shared search additionally requires joining it.
Will AI detect every person?
No. Occlusion, subject size, weather, contrast, blur and compression affect results. No detections do not mean no people are present. A person must check every hint.
What does the box percentage mean?
It is a model score for that candidate, not an overall app accuracy statistic or the probability of finding the missing person. Review the original and context rather than deciding from the score alone.
Does a marker locate the person?
Usually it marks the drone at detection time. A person estimate needs full DJI telemetry and camera pitch from -90° to -60°, assumes flat terrain and includes uncertainty. With no GPS, mapping is unavailable.
How do I connect live video?
Use a camera, HDMI capture, window sharing, HLS or WHEP. RTMP needs an intermediary such as MediaMTX. Test permissions and local-network access with the actual controller.
What does the sector map share?
Sector geometry, team information and searcher GPS are sent to the server and visible to approved participants in that search. Drone footage and local detections are not part of shared writes.
Does phone tracking run in the background?
Traccar Client is designed for background tracking and needs permissions and battery restrictions configured. Test its behaviour on the actual phone. Browser fallback requires an open page and an awake screen.
How long are team positions retained?
After a shared search closes, new reports are rejected. Its GPS positions are removed after 30 days by a daily cleanup. Coordinators can delete the whole search sooner. Local results have separate deletion and backup handling.
