IDEA-001 — detector data and access matrix

Four-subject comparison separates displayed/decoded data, export interfaces and access rights; unknowns and partial captures retained.

Research FindingsDraft record

Interpretation and date

Snapshot: 2026-10-09 America/Los_Angeles. All capability/interface/terms statements are vendor documentation unless labelled user context or analysis. Unknown means not established by this bounded, partly incomplete evidence set. No performance, access entitlement or field uptime was independently demonstrated. The user's co-founder relationship is accepted as context, not evidence of detector capabilities.¹⁴

The rows compare different observations: analog-video signal alerts and cooperative Remote ID records must not be treated as interchangeable drone tracks. Receipt of a signal, a coordinate in a broadcast and a surveyed receiver position have different meanings. Analysis: require a versioned field dictionary and sample before defining any common data contribution record.

Comparison

Dimension	BlueBird / Chuyka	DroneSight	Dronetag	BlueMark / DroneScout
Observations	Analog-video RF detection and intercepted video viewing; signal presence does not establish a uniquely identified or geolocated aircraft.¹⁷¹⁸	Standard broadcast Remote ID; host page expressly limits tracking to ASTM F3411 broadcasters.¹²	Scout receives broadcast/direct Remote ID; no detection without those transmissions. Optional cooperative aircraft protocols are distinct.⁵	Fixed receiver receives Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Remote ID; optional ADS-B/UAT aircraft inputs are distinct.⁸
Documented data content	Displayed count/histogram, frequency/channel, signal level/RSSI, battery/mode; video output. Machine-readable observation fields not established.²⁰¹⁷¹⁸	Map labels aircraft/operator locations, UAS ID, receiver and signal gaps. These controls are interface evidence, not an export schema or observed live dataset.⁴	Product describes location, altitude, identification and pilot location; if unavailable, takeoff location is substituted. No evidence that that substitute is separately flagged in export.⁵	Packet metadata and encoded payload are detailed below; do not treat receiver position as drone position.¹³
Timestamps and uncertainty	No event time/clock or target positioning/uncertainty schema established. App approximate location policy is not a detector location field.²³	Timestamp field, clock basis, units, accuracy and positional uncertainty unresolved; map offers time filters.⁴	Exact exported timestamp semantics, units and positional error/validity fields unresolved; REST requires query time bounds. GNSS is listed for Scout location.⁷⁵	See manual detail below. Encoded drone-position uncertainty fields were not inspected.¹³
Interfaces	Video output, charging/power and Wi-Fi OTA documented; telemetry API/SDK/structured export unestablished.¹⁸²⁰²²	Wi-Fi upload and host map described; captured pages do not establish public API, bulk export or local raw feed.²¹	Sensor raw feed, licensed Cloud/On-Premise interfaces; subscription table lists MQTT/webhook JSON. Authenticated REST, Socket.io recommendation and server push are documented.⁵⁶⁷¹⁰	Fixed receiver MQTT JSON, optional SQLite Dashboard/Excel history; Bridge Bluetooth relay and UART MAVLink are separate products.⁸⁹
Samples/schema	No structured sample/schema established in inspected material. Both linked PDF manuals inaccessible.²⁴²⁵	None in inspected pages; standard RID reference does not establish server output fields.¹	REST guide links API structures and DUMP; push docs name DUMP JSON/typed JSON. Full schema and sample payload not gathered within URL budget.⁷¹¹	Manual message-field descriptions and linked reference subscriber exist; figure samples and underlying binary-member layouts are incomplete in capture.¹³¹²
Retention	App policy gives necessity-based retention; detector observation/video history duration/export unknown.²³	Map offers 12h, 24h, 3d, 7d and custom controls. These do not prove server retention, completeness or export availability.⁴	12-month retention is listed for NRID Basic/Pro; applicability to receiver observation history is unestablished. Scout Cloud/On-Premise history exists, duration unresolved.⁶⁵	Optional local Dashboard stores history, but retention duration/deletion policy unresolved. MQTT retain configuration is not a historical database retention policy.⁸¹³
Quality/duplication/uptime	Monitor mode pauses scanning of the viewed band; threshold/filter/band settings change observations. False alarms acknowledged. No tested uptime/deduplication evidence.²¹²⁰	Homepage says observations are merged; no dedup algorithm or accuracy measure. Terms describe temperature, upload-error and Wi-Fi-RSSI diagnostics; hosts must maintain power/Wi-Fi. No SLA demonstrated.¹³	24/7 and latency claims are marketing specifications, not measured uptime. Push delivery controls exist; cross-sensor deduplication, false positives, clock quality and SLA unresolved.⁵¹¹	Aggregation, batching and status messages documented below; cross-sensor deduplication and uptime SLA unresolved.¹³
API/output limits	No telemetry API rate limits, buffering, loss/replay or access scope established in inspected documents.²⁰²²	Request limits and download quotas unresolved. Host map access alone does not establish API entitlement.¹	REST airspace endpoints require time+bbox except operation-ID or UAS-ID exceptions; country/continent/world bbox prohibited. Numeric bbox/request quotas unresolved. Push target count is limited but number unspecified.⁷¹⁰	MQTT configuration governs publication; no hosted-network API quota evidenced.¹³
Contributor visibility vs rights	Personal-use app license and own-data privacy rights do not establish pooling, redistribution or whole-network access.²²²³	Active hosts get beta platform/premium visibility. Host terms assert DroneSight exclusive ownership of uploaded airspace data and its aggregation/display/publication rights. Host bulk/API/redistribution entitlement not established.¹²³	Personal tokens access account data; portal access requires Pro or cooperative business partner status. These are not evidence of unrestricted network access or resale/redistribution permission. Data-license terms not captured.⁷¹⁰	Local integration/reference code is evidenced; repository labels MIT code license. A code license does not establish rights to third-party observations; network-data entitlement and redistribution terms unresolved.⁸¹²

Technical caveats that affect interpretation

BlueBird 4.0 FAQ describes Monitor mode pausing its selected band; the example's band list does not fully match the four-band product specification. Confirm model/firmware behavior. App Wi-Fi connectivity or an OTA download is not evidence of observation upload.²⁰¹⁸²²
Dronetag's pilot-position description allows takeoff location as a substitute; export flags for that distinction were not established. Sensor+ is marketed as a plan but described elsewhere as future firmware. Receiver-history retention cannot inherit the NRID transmit-service retention statement.⁵⁶
BlueMark manual describes epoch-millisecond packet timestamps, but no onboard RTC: correct NTP or optional GNSS time is required. Sensor latitude/longitude is not drone latitude/longitude. Encoded drone-position members and positional uncertainty were not fully inspected. Latest-information aggregation/batching does not establish cross-sensor deduplication.¹³
DroneSight map controls are interface evidence; dynamic observations, retention and bulk-access entitlements were not captured. Host terms' broad RF language does not establish detection beyond the host page's Remote ID restriction.⁴²³
