What Aerocámaras does

Aerocámaras is a Spain-based drone solutions provider founded in 2007 and headquartered in Lalín, Pontevedra. The company operates three integrated business lines: (1) Drone pilot training through Campus UAS, offering EASA-certified and university-accredited programs (UDIMA/CEF) with over 50,000 alumni trained; (2) Professional drone services including infrastructure inspection (power lines, bridges, wind turbines, solar plants), cinematography, emergency response, security surveillance, precision agriculture, topography, and logistics; and (3) Hardware distribution through the DJI Agricultura Ibérica joint venture with DJI ARS Madrid for the Iberian agricultural market.

The company's proprietary technology includes the AeroHyb hybrid drone with up to 7 hours flight endurance and a triple-sensor inspection system (HD, infrared, and ultraviolet) that enables simultaneous detection of visual faults, thermal anomalies, and corona effect in power lines. Additional products include the AeroCovid drone surveillance system developed with Instituto Tecnológico de Galicia for crowd monitoring, and the TutorIA AI-powered tutoring platform launched in 2026. Aerocámaras holds AESA operator authorization (17758/RG 18245) and EASA training entity recognition for STS scenarios.

The business model combines one-time training course fees (both online and in-person), B2B service contracts for enterprise inspections and media production, DJI drone hardware sales, and aviation management consulting for regulatory compliance. Distribution is multi-channel: direct website enrollment (cursodedrones.es), enterprise service requests, e-commerce platforms (compradron.com, djiagriculturespain.com), university partnerships, and a five-location Campus UAS flight field network across Spain. Key customers include Red Eléctrica de España, Sanxenxo City Council, TVG, TVE, laSexta, El Corte Inglés, Opel, and Mercedes-Benz.
