How to 3D map a crime scene with a drone
Capture the exterior from the air and the interior on foot, then present one merged, measurable scene. Record one continuous drone video, upload it to SkyeBrowse, and open a measurable 3D model of the scene with image walkthroughs, annotations, and a chain-of-custody log. Processing runs at about one minute per minute of video. Pick your drone below for the exact capture steps.

Outputs and measurements for crime scene documentation
3D Overlay
Stack an interior model on the exterior drone model in one viewer so investigators walk the whole scene without switching files.
Line of Sight
Place up to two observer points and see visible areas in green and blocked areas in red. Included with Pro models and Public Safety & Enterprise.
Case Gallery and Image Walkthroughs
Attach evidence photos to annotations and open auto-generated images along the capture path for finer detail.
Security and custody
Hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) with CJIS compliance maintained for Public Safety & Enterprise subscribers. Model access, user actions, and sharing are logged.
Frequently asked questions
Can SkyeBrowse map the inside of a building at a crime scene?
Yes. Record slow, steady video with a phone, 360 camera, or FPV drone, turn on the Interior Mapping toggle at upload, and use the Scale Tool with a known measurement when the video has no GPS data.
Is SkyeBrowse CJIS compliant?
SkyeBrowse is hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) and full CJIS compliance is maintained for Public Safety & Enterprise subscribers.
