Dronetag
Remote ID receivers, transmitters and software platform with public integration documentation.
Identity and relationship
Dronetag supplies receivers, transmitters and a visualization platform; its developer documentation identifies Dronetag s.r.o. It is a hardware/data-platform comparison and potential data-network competitor, not an evidenced cash-paying community host scheme. Research date: 2026-10-09 America/Los_Angeles.14
Offering and status
The homepage claims a commercial detection network with 3,000+ receivers in the field. This is vendor-reported installed scale, not an audited count of simultaneously active, shared-data nodes. Public products, prices and developer documentation support an observable commercial offer; fulfillment and uptime were not tested.1
Scout Gen 2 is marketed as a stationary PoE Remote ID receiver, with LTE, local/cloud modes, raw integration output and third-party integrations. Advertised output includes drone position, altitude and identification; pilot position depends on what the drone broadcasts, with takeoff position substituted where applicable. Claimed maximum range is 10 km omni or 25 km directional, untested here. The FAQ explicitly says drones without Remote ID transmissions cannot be detected. An optional Aviation configuration adds cooperative aircraft protocols; this does not establish general RF drone detection.2
Access, deployment and participation
Scout Sensor mode supplies raw data without a software license; Cloud and On-Premise modes require licenses for the full map/history/alert system. Sensor+ is described in the Scout FAQ as in development for future firmware.2
The subscription page lists Sensor JSON via MQTT/webhook, and separate Cloud and On-Premise options. RIDER can operate offline with Drone Scanner; cloud access adds history and notifications. These are customer deployment choices; no contributor payment scheme was found in the inspected materials.3
The REST guide documents authenticated current/historical telemetry and account data, recommends Socket.io for real-time streaming, and requires bounded time/region queries for airspace endpoints. It expressly disallows continent/world-sized bounding boxes. A documented API is not proof that a buyer receives unrestricted access to every receiver's observations.4
Published pricing and geography
Scout's product page lists starting hardware prices of €3,099 / $3,499. Taxes, shipping and configuration-specific totals were not verified.2
The subscription page lists RIDER Connect at €260 / $300 for one year; Scout Sensor+ at €260 / $300 per sensor every 12 months; and Cloud at €900 / $1,000 for the first device plus €320 / $360 each additional. Cloud's billing period is not explicit alongside that captured price and must be confirmed. On-Premise is quoted individually. These are published offers, not negotiated prices.3
Scout's vendor FAQ claims worldwide deployment for compatible Remote ID standards and acknowledges that nonbroadcasting drones remain invisible. No audited country-by-country receiver coverage was captured.2
Contradictions and unanswered questions
Sensor+ appears as a priced plan on the subscription page while the Scout FAQ calls it future development. Availability is unresolved. The subscription capture also contains placeholder Latin copy and duplicates, warranting confirmation of tariffs and mode boundaries before commercial reliance.32
Analysis: differentiate installed receivers from accessible network data, raw hardware output from licensed cloud functions, and Remote ID compliance transmitters from detection receivers. Open questions include data-sharing defaults, network purchase rights, receiver activity, service terms and independently measured range.
Capture and review
Four official pages archived as original HTML plus text extraction. No linked PDFs/videos, checkout, live service test or independent deployment report captured. Publication dates were not established; capture date is not publication date. Researcher content check completed; independent evidence review is recorded in study review.
Data and access follow-up — 2026-10-09
Official push documentation adds access conditions and transport/delivery controls; the receiver-specific retention and complete payload schema remain unresolved in this bounded capture set.5
