How to Integrate Skydio Cloud with Fusus

The Skydio and Axon Fusus partnership sets the public safety standard by integrating live drone footage into a unified platform to transform decision-making.

[warning]This document is currently under review. For any questions or errors with the content described in this document, reach out to your Skydio Integrations contact.[/warning]

How it works

The Skydio drone transmits video and telemetry data in near real-time to the FususONE platform. This transmission is facilitated by Skydio Cloud. The integrated data feed is then visualized on the FususONE map interface, providing users with a comprehensive view of the situation on the ground for enhanced situational awareness and more effective decision-making.

For Skydio flights in the FususONE Map you will receive:

• Real-time alert notifications
• Automatic alert placement on your Fusus Map
• Live tracking updates
• Live video streaming
• Color and thermal (if available)

The integration provides support for following drone types:

• Skydio X10
• Skydio X2
• Skydio 2+

Integration requirements:

• Skydio Administrative access
• Fusus Administrative access
• Computer with Internet
• Skydio Live Streaming license

[note] Before you can create a Fusus integration in Skydio Cloud, you must first request a token from the Fusus support team. [/note]
