DR1000
FLYING LAB
The DR1000 Drone Based Weather Station can be used to sample and analyze ambient air at heights of up to 150 meters above ground level.
Why Choosing DR1000
Drone Based Environmental Monitoring
and Air Quality Analyzer
The DR1000 Drone Based Weather Station provides a robust platform to conduct both impact assessments and air quality measurements for a wide range of applications. This includes the monitoring of: fugitive emissions, flare emissions, leak detection along oil pipe lines, landfill methane, odour emissions, military or emergency applications, urban scanning, and much, much more!
Utilizing the DR1000, operators can not only collect and analyze
valuable data, but the DR1000 can protect operators from contact with potentially dangerous samples. The DR1000 Flying Lab allows for maintaining a safe distance while acquiring a required air sample for laboratory analysis in real time.
Features at a Glance
General Capabilities
The DR1000 can travel any distance above ground level, up to 150 meters for sampling, set intervals for measurement, adjust the sampling rate, and perform maintenance
Cloud Access
Live Data, updated every minute, can be accessed on location via the included Ground Station Tablet. Historical data can be accessed remotely using encrypted cloud-based hosting
Hazardous Sampling
The DR1000 can be flown into environments that are potentially dangerous to personnel, such as harmful contaminants, flare plumes up to 40C or hard to access areas, either vertically or horizontally, for direct sampling
Thermal Camera
A thermal imaging camera can be installed for visual confirmation of fugitive emissions
New and Improved Battery Life!
The DR1000 will come equipped with a fast charge battery for continuous operation of up to 3 hours, before recharging
Ground Station
9 Inch tablet equipped with LoRa communication capabilities and customized DRIMS2 mobile software
Customize Your DR1000
The DR1000 Drone Based Weather Station measure, monitors and analyzes contaminants using a series of sensors selected based on each unique application. With a library of 100’s of sensors, Scentroid has every sensory requirement covered! Each DR1000 unit can be equipped with:
- Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Barometric Pressure
- High accuracy GPS recording
- High accuracy altitude measurements
- Up to (5) additional sensors in any configuration:
- Electro-Chemical (EC) such as Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and more
- Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) sensing using Photo-Ionization Detection (PID)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and Methane (CH4) using Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensors
- Simultaneous Particulate Matter Sensing capabilities for PM 1, PM 2.5, and PM 10
- Heater Module for High Humidity (Add On Optional)
- Anemometer for Wind Speed and Direction (Add On Optional)
How It Works
The DR1000 Drone Based Weather Station now features a brand-new patented sampling system that samples only undisturbed ambient air, completely avoiding propeller downwash.
Analyzes In Flight
The DR1000 analyzes data continuously while in flight at a rate of more than 100 samples per second.
Real-Time Data
The DR1000 transmits to the ground station using Long Range Radio (LoRa protocol), providing a secure & encrypted transmission of data
Types of Data
All Sensor Data is automatically stamped with GPS location (Latitude/Longitude), Elevation, Time, Date, Temperature and Relative Humidity
Drone-Based Software
The data can be used for numerous applications using our proprietary DR1000 analysis software.
Drone Capabilities
DR1000 is completely self-contained and requires nothing from the attached drone except to operate as a vehicle. DR1000 can be attached to any rotary wing or fixed wing drone with payload capabilities of 3 kg.
We also developed another Drone Based Air Quality Monitor DR2000 that shares similar features. Speak to our consultant so we can provide the best air monitoring solution for you.
Sample Acquisition System
The Scentroid DR1000 can be equipped with a miniature state-of-the-art pumping system to allow for the collection and storage of air samples within a sampling bag. This easy-to-use system, with one touch activation on the Ground Station Tablet module serves as a cost-effective air sample collection device.
The DR1000 can collect samples directly from hard to reach and/or dangerous locations without the assistance of other sampling devices such as Flux Chambers or Wind Tunnels.
Included With DR1000:
- DR1000 Analyzer
- Ground Station Receiver
- 9" Tablet with Built-In Interface (Ground Station)
- Carbon Fibre Probe
- GPS, GSM, and LORA Antennas
- Charge Adapter
- Extra Batteries and Wall Charger (Optional)

Ideal for Multiple Industries
DR1000 Drone Based Weather Station allows for monitoring and analyzing the air quality in locations that were previously impossible for wide variety of industries.
Horizontally over long distances, such as pipeline monitoring, across wide wastewater lagoons, large acre landfills or agricultural facilities.
Vertical applications such as building exhausts, stacks, and storage tanks
DRIMS2
Drone Information Management System
The Scentroid Drone Information Management System, DRIMS2, our all-inclusive software, is used to view historical data, run diagnostics, configure, and set alarm levels for DR1000. Provided as part of the DR1000 package, the software is installed on our on-board server (default), Scentroid’s cloud-based server (default) and on your localized server (optional).
DRIMS2 is easy to use graphical interface allows anyone to run complicated data analytics without being a GIS expert. It can control and display data from multiple DR1000s in the same fleet. Users can analyze data and monitor progress remotely from a single platform.
DRIMS2 All-Inclusive Software
DRIMS2 provides easy analysis tools for an operator to determine pollutant hot spots, possible sources, sampled areas, and much more.
Ground Station
The Scentroid ground station consists of a specialized tablet connected to a miniature PC with a high gain powerful communication antenna. Our tablets come pre-installed with our DRIMS2 Ground Station component software. This branch of DRIMS2 software provides the user with a means to log all acquired data as it occurs. This includes all live data as well as historical data for sensors, including GPS position, altitude, temperature, and humidity.
The user can also command the drone when to take a sample and when to perform routine maintenance such as calibrating sensors. The readings are continuous, and the user can choose whether to display them live with our diagnostics feature or forward it to a database. If an optional on-board camera is present, a video feed will also be sent to the ground station for simultaneous viewing.
Analysis Software
The DR1000 comes with simultaneous GPRS and Wi-Fi communication capabilities. The GPRS is used to send data to our Scentroid cloud server. Besides using the Ground Station to communicate with our DRIMS2 system, you can also log into our secured DRIMS2 portal using any PC / laptop with a stable internet connection.
Our DRIMS2 Analysis software serves as the perfect companion to any monitoring job – an offsite wealth of information is stored in a beautiful and easy to navigate interface. After securely logging in, users can select their drone, select their flight date, favorite, name, or even search for a specific sampling node.
With access to a heat map along with viewing altitude in a 3D setting, managing a sensory project has never been easier (or more informative!).
