Something crosses your fence at 2am. Sixty seconds later there is a drone hanging over it with a floodlight and a speaker, and you are watching from your phone in bed. Most of them run. The ones who don't are on video, with a plate.
Here is what everyone else charges to watch your yard. Same money, month for month.
What you are protecting: US construction equipment theft runs about 11,000–12,000 reported incidents a year and $300M–$1B in direct losses, with roughly 21% of heavy equipment recovered and under 7% of tools. We date that honestly — NICB and NER stopped publishing detailed annual reports after 2016, so those are 2014–2016 figures. Anyone quoting them to you as current numbers is recycling the same decade-old dataset.
Pick by acres, not by tier chart. Up to 40 acres is GlikS at $1,200. To 160 is GlikM at $1,450. To 640 is GlikL at $1,900 with five drones. Past that we add a second dock. S and M fly the same three drones — M costs more because more ground burns more flight hours a night, and we are the ones buying the batteries and the replacements.
For context on the category: a Skydio Dock with one X10 aircraft lists at $57,744. That is a superb machine built for police departments flying calls for service. It is not what a 4-acre equipment yard needs, and it is not what a 4-acre equipment yard can sign off on.
Works with the cameras you already own. If your existing system can send a webhook or dry-contact alarm, it can launch an aircraft.
Every drone-in-a-box vendor shows you a beautiful launch. None of them show you the ninety minutes afterwards, when the aircraft is on the pad charging and your yard has no eyes above it. Thieves do not schedule around charge cycles.
A single aircraft flies roughly 25–35 minutes, then needs an hour or more on the pad. That is a hole in your coverage every single time it responds — and the second call of the night goes unanswered.
Three aircraft rotate. One flies, one is warm and ready, one charges. The dock hands off automatically. You never see the cycle, which is the entire point.
If that describes your site, the rest is detail. If it does not, we would rather tell you now.
In December 2025 the FCC added covered foreign drones to its list, and federal funds — including grants that reach state and local agencies — can no longer be spent on them. If your site touches public money, and a great many construction sites do, the aircraft in your yard is now a contract question, not a preference.
Glik is built to the exemption the FCC published in July 2026: domestic assembly with at least 65% US-produced component value. We are designing to that from the first unit, not retrofitting it after someone's contract falls through.
What this means for you in plain terms: a federally funded highway job, a school district site, a utility contract or an insurer that has started asking the question — none of them become a reason you cannot use this. Private sites with no federal exposure are not required to care, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Everyone in this category oversells. Here is the list we would rather you hear from us than find out in month two.
Routine drone flights beyond the operator's line of sight have never had a general rule in the US. Every autonomous deployment today runs on a waiver. That is changing: the FAA's Part 108 rule reached final White House review on July 10, 2026, the last major step before publication.
Part 108 works differently from the drone licence you may know. Part 107 certifies a person, the way a driving licence does. Part 108 certifies an organisation — a company that writes its own safety management system, credentials its own staff and answers to the FAA the way an airline does. There is no version of it an individual property owner can hold. That single fact is why every serious system in this category is sold as a service, and why we structured ours the same way instead of pretending otherwise.
A published final rule is expected late 2026 or early 2027. We set first shipments for Q1 2027 so that the hardware you receive is built against the rule as written, not against a guess about it.
Honest caveat: the rule is not final yet, and federal rulemaking slips. If Part 108 moves, our ship date moves with it and your deposit stays refundable the entire time. We will tell you the moment we know, in an email you did not have to ask for. FAA UAS rulemaking →
We are building a production run, not a waitlist for a rendering. Reservations tell us how many to build and where to put the first service techs. If we cannot ship you a unit that does what this page says, we refund you and say so.
