Drone security software for patrol operators
Your drones are already flying.
Everything else is on WhatsApp.
RAPTOR is the operations spine for private security drone teams: detect, track, alert, document and bill — in one place, with court-ready chain of custody on every frame.
The demo is a sandbox with fictional data — no signup, nothing to install. The free trial is the real product for 14 days: one aircraft, two people, 300 minutes of video, 2 GB of storage and court-ready exports, with no card. One trial per company.
- Detect
- Live RTMP + telemetry

Why it holds up
Footage is not evidence until somebody can prove nobody touched it.
Sealed on arrival
Every still and clip is hashed the moment it lands — not later, not on export. Anyone can re-verify that the file is byte-for-byte the one that was captured.
Append-only custody
Every view, download and export is written to a log nobody can edit or delete. Not the operator, not an administrator, not us.
POPIA from the start
You set a retention window per site. Past it, footage is destroyed automatically — while the record of it, its digest and its access history survive, so an old export still references something real.
Anyone can ask what you hold about them, or ask to be erased — both are a single request, both are logged, and neither alters an incident record somebody else may need. See a sealed record.
Inside the product
Two registers, because two different people have to read it.
A controller at two in the morning needs colour, movement and one glance. An insurer, a body corporate or an attorney needs the opposite: plain type, exact times, and nothing that looks like it was styled to persuade them. RAPTOR does not restyle one into the other — the tactical layer is simply not present in the record.
And the part nobody photographs
The record-keeping is the job. The map is how you see it happen.
Every operator already has a map. What they do not have is a list of who signed for the current revision of the operations manual, which folio has been open for eleven days, and what expires next month — and those are the things an audit asks for.
These are screenshots of the running software, captured by a script that signs in and photographs it — not mock-ups. The digests in the evidence register are real SHA-256 values. Click through it yourself.

About
Built here, by one person, for operators here.
RAPTOR is built by Gregory Dearham. Not a team, not a reseller of somebody else’s platform — one person who writes the code, answers the email and will be on the call when something breaks at two in the morning.
It started from a narrow observation: South African drone security operators have the flying solved and the paperwork nowhere. The aircraft is licensed, the pilot is competent, the patrol happens — and then a controller retypes a Thursday night into Word from memory, and the footage sits in a folder with a WhatsApp filename on it. Everything RAPTOR does is aimed at that gap, and nothing it does is aimed anywhere else.
It is early, and saying so is the point. There is no pretence of a support desk or a decade of deployments. What there is instead: the software genuinely runs, you can click through it right now without giving anybody an address, and a founding pilot costs nothing because the first operators are doing us the favour, not the other way round.
If you would rather talk to a person than read a website — gregory.dearham@kiffleads.com.

Straight answers
- Where the data sits. The application and the database are both hosted in the EU (Frankfurt) — one place, not two. That is a cross-border transfer under POPIA §72, permitted because the EU regime offers substantially similar protection. Alerts, video and card payments are delivered by named third parties outside South Africa, and the list is yours on request. Your data stays yours, and you can export or erase it whenever you ask.
- What it will not do. No facial recognition. No matching against SAPS or any police database. Neither is on the roadmap, and both are refused rather than deferred.
- Who is accountable. POPIA requires a named Information Officer for the responsible party. For RAPTOR that is Gregory Dearham, at the address above — a person, not a form.
The fastest way to judge any of this is to use the thing. The demo is a sandbox with invented data, takes no signup and stores nothing about you.
