THE CONTACTS YOU PROVIDE WILL BE USEFUL FOR THE FINDER TO CONTACT YOU
Whether you lost your drone while filming a city, a village, or a beautiful natural landscape, if there are other people passing by, it’s likely someone will notice it.
ANYONE WHO SCANS YOU TAG WILL BE REDIRECTED TO A CHAT ROOM AND ABLE TO SEE THE CONTACT DETAILS YOU MADE VISIBLE
Once the drone is found, that individual can scan the code and chat with you. You can either speak in the newly created chat or share personal contact information to communicate that way. Then, simply agree on a meeting time/place so they can return your drone to you.
What are the true benefits of this protective tool?
It’s rather simple, really. A properly used abTag code creates a virtual lifeline between you, your drone, and the finder, allowing for quick communication and even quicker recovery. In short, it’s a great way of adding a layer of protection and an effective way to get your drone back in your hands.
What’s more, you don’t even have to show all the input data you provided when you set it up. You, as a user, choose which details are visible by changing and hiding them . Lastly, you also have the option to assign a co-owner for the QR code that’s on your drone. Co-ownership means that if you aren’t available to chat with the finder when the notification comes in, another trusted user can do it for you. You just need to assign the co-owner ahead of time. Don’t worry, you’ll still get notified with a message or an email.
In most cases, abTag codes could be the difference between getting your drone back and losing it forever.
- Your drone crashes in a public area or in nature. One of the most common ways people lose their drones is when they crash. A crash in an urban area is technically better for the owner, as it’s far more likely that a finder will stumbles upon your drone in a densely populated area, scan it, and safely return it to you. But in more rural locations, if the area you were filming with your drone has at least some passing through, there’s still a chance that someone will notice your belonging.
- Your drone makes an accidental/emergency landing on private property or a school. Whether due to a low battery or for accidental reasons, if you find your drone landing on private property or an educational institution, it’s best to leave a way for the owners or administration to contact you . With a QR code in place, you could save a lot of time and avoid stress . Instead of dealing with an annoying misunderstanding, you can simply speak to the owner via the chat in a simple and effective manner.
- You lose a drone during professional filming, drone work, or while simultaneously using many drones. In these cases, a QR code could simplify a lot! If you ever need to quickly assign drones to a team of professionals QR tags are a must (ads/promotional material, etc).
- You lose a drone while traveling short- or long-distance. Traveling in general is quite stressful, and carrying costly and precious equipment like drones just adds to the anxiety. Luckily, at least some of your worries can be lessened if you use abTag codes. With the codes in place, even if a drone gets lost or misplaced, it will be a lot easier to retrieve it. You significantly reduce risks and potentially cut down on the time needed to find it . And that is precious time that you could use for what’s most important to you during your trip.
- You lose track of a drone while lending or renting it out. Drones are often rented out to other people or just borrowed for a short period of time by friends and acquaintances, meaning they’re all subject to loss. To prevent loss, saving both you and the person who’s using it from extra trouble, simply protect your gear with a QR tag. You can also make use of the co-owner feature in this case, as it enables the owner and renter/borrower to retrieve it without outside help .
Altogether, a drone equipped with an abTag QR code is better
- A layer of security Connect yourself directly to your drone’s finder, without complications or extra fees. The QR code is completely autonomous and active the second you apply and activate it.
- Technical support, high-quality codes, and colour variety. Choose a fitting color and combine different codes on different devices and gadgets. If you have any concerns, our technical support team is always open to questions and troubleshooting requests!
- Never lose your high-cost equipment again; make sure your item is returned to you if found. There’s no more need for running around or panicking. Just use and manage your QR codes , and if anything is lost and found later on, you will be the first to be notified.
- Much lower chance of getting in trouble with local authorities or private property owners. By providing contact details, you ensure a calmer, more civilized conversation to retrieve your drone. Cooperation is essential in cases where you’ve been using your drone to film in restricted areas, in order to avoid fees and hassle.
- Update, change, or hide information. You can easily change any contact data you input for any personal reason. You decide and control what is connected to the QR code.
