Frequently asked questions
What services can Higher Vision provide?
Services are tailored to the customers specific requirements. They include high resolution image capture, HD video, surveillance, inspection and monitoring services. There is also scope in and around these to provide other services that may not be listed. Our priority is to match the service to our customers needs.

My property/site is close to an airport, can Higher Vision operate there?
Every site is different and the decision as to whether we can operate would be made after gaining more information from the client and relevant sources. A site analysis is carried out which takes into account airspace, hazards, surrounding properties and the requirements of the proposed job before a final decision is made.
My friend has a drone, can they do the job for me?
While drones are readily available and in most cases very automated, this is not always the best option. Higher Vision operates within New Zealand CAA Part 101 Rules (Unmanned Aircraft) and carries comprehensive Drone/UAV liability insurance. While your friend may be an excellent drone pilot, there may be specific qualifications required, which Higher Vision pilots have. Our drones are operated and maintained in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and industry best practices. Higher Vision also has comprehensive Safety management systems in place and operational procedures to complement all of the above.
DO YOU HAVE STANDARD PRICING OPTIONS?
There are many variables that can affect the pricing of a specific drone flight. Our prices start at $175/Hr on site for the initial visit and $90/Hr for subsequent site visits. If there are any administrative or post processing requirements, this is charged at $55/Hr. We have introduced some standard packages for use in real estate to give certainty in their marketing campaigns. Head over to our PRICING page for more information.
What do I do with the images/data you provide?
During our initial consultation, we will establish your end goal. This will include options on whether you would like raw data (images/data straight from our camera systems), or if you would like any post processing carried out. Higher Vision can provide the raw or finished product and recommend the required format for web, print, social media or for use ‘in-house’.
