This web page is a work in progress. Please come back often as we will be updating it frequently.

5/26/23: The latest version of the FW is 4.57 and it now supports receiving RID that is transmitted via bluetooth. Most, if not all drone manufacturers transmit RID via wifi. However, the small portable transmitters that are now coming on the market transmit RID via bluetooth. FW 4.57 is only available for the large screen units (now referred to as the Ultra Portable). Contact us if you want to upgrade your existing large screen unit to 4.57. It is currently a free upgrade and it will get you all the functionality of the Ultra Portable receiver. We will have an update for the small screen units in the near future.

We have limited supplies in stock. Go to MileHighDroneServices.com/store4 to order.

5/4/23: We are happy to announce the IOS app is now available on the Apple app store. Search for UAS Sentry to download it. You MUST be running FW 4.50 or later on the RID Receiver. IOS app integration is only supported on the large screen (now called the Ulta Portable) receiver. This is currently a free app but that may change so if you want it you should install it now.

5/3/23: Version 4.53 of the UAS Sentry Remote ID Receiver is now available. If you want to upgrade send us a message via the Contact US link. You can now update the FW on a PC or a MAC. 4.53 is only supported on the Large Screen (now referred to as the Ultra Portable) receiver. Version 4.53 has major updates including channel hopping in case a manufacturer does not use the typical channel when transmitting RID data.

4/13/23: All remote id receivers (Sentrys) and cases are sold out. More are on order.

3/27/23: YIKES!!! We had no idea of the demand for the cases. Within hours of posting they are available we sold out of batteries. More are on order and should arrive by 4/3. We ordered a LOT of batteries and came close to depleting Amazon stock of them.

3/26/23: We are now accepting orders for the large display case. Cases do need some assembly. We can do it for you (if ordered with a RID receiver) for a $7.50 fee (waived if purchased before 4/5/2023. If you want a battery, shipping might be delayed by a few days. We made a video on how to assemble the case and it can be viewed here.

3/23/23: The migration to the new servers was successful. If you are uploading data to the cloud the old URL you were using will no longer work. We will post the new URL in the next day or so. The previous data is on the new server and you can still upload the data and it will be saved you just can't view it yet.

3/22/23: We will be moving our authentication server to a new server between the hours of midnight (MDT) and 03:00 on 3/23/23. During this time if you try to update the FW on your receiver and it attempts to authenticate itself then it may fail. We anticipate the move to be done by 03:00 on 3/23/23.

3/19/23: We have a new FW update available for the large screen RID Receiver. This update will allow you to shut the device off when it is being powered by battery. This version is highly recommended if you are using the case with internal battery that we just started selling. If you want to update your existing RID receiver please send us a note via our Contact Us link.

 

 

3/16/2023: GOOD NEWS!!!! We finally have cases for the large display receiver. The case will accomodate a small 1S Lipo battery and we are working on a firmware update which will shut the display down after 5 minutes of no drone activity (if the receiver is on battery power). We will post an update once pricing has been established.

3/6/2023: The small display receivers are out of stock. If you want to be notified when we have more please send us a note via our Contact Us link.

3/5/2023: Someone must have posted something about the receivers because we had a surge in orders last week. Our inventory of the small display units is very low. Therefore we are removing them from the PayPal store. If you want a small display unit (with or without the case) please contact us via the Contact Us link. The last thing we want to do is sell something that we are out of stock on. We don't anticipate getting more small display units in for at least 8 weeks. We have a reasonable number of large display units but we will do the same thing when the inventory gets low.

2/8/2023: The trial for the remote updates to the RID receiver went very well. We are now making the update available to anyone who wants it. If you want it please reach out via the Contact Us link and we will email you a link to it. You will need a Windows PC to do the update.

1/19/2023: The trial users are now upgrading their receivers to version 3. So far, they have reported no issues. Assuming this continues we will notify all the folks who purchased the Remote ID Receiver with a link to a web page with the binary for version 3.

1/16/2023: We now have a mechanism in place to allow you to update your firmware to the latest release. We think everything is working but would like to ask for volunteers to try it out. The process for updating the firmware requires a PC. We do not have a mechanism for updating via Mac. Sorry about that. If you would be willing to be a beta user for the update process then please reach out via our Contact Us link.
Before you agree to please scroll down and open the panel on "How to update FW" and make sure you feel comfortable following all the steps. It is actually pretty simple once you have downloaded the tools.

1/10/2023: Version 3.1 of the Rid Receiver, now called the UAS Sentry, is now shipping. Supplies are very limited. Open the Purchase frame below if you would like to purchase. Version 3.1 has a feature specifically designed for drone pilots. We call this feature "Drone Avoidance" and it allows you to identify your drone and if any other drones come within 200 feet of your drone the display will notify you. Obviously all drones must be transmitting RID data and be in range of the receiver. To learn more please watch this video. Note: Due to the high demand we are still only shipping to the US.

1/06/2023: We were at CES. Autel announced their new Evo Max drone and were demonstrating it in a cage. We had a RID receiver and fired it up to see if it was sending RID data. We are happy to report it was. They were also flying an Evo 2 and it was NOT transmitting RID data. I talked to an Autel representative and he was not certain if a FW upgrade would be available for Evo 2's that were manufactured before 12/16/2022.

12/29/2022: Despite the rough weather we have had in Denver we are still testing version 3.0. We hope to release it in the very near future. In addition, we now have a path to allow people who have a previous version to upgrade. More details to follow but you will need a Windows PC. Sorry Mac users.

12/24/2022: We are about to release a new version which has functionality specifically for UAS pilots. Our current inventory of chips is very low (more are on order). We hope to have the next version ready by 1/1/2023. We are not taking orders until the new release is ready to ship. If you want to be notified when the new release is ready let us know via the Contact Us link.

12/18/2022: As of 12/16/2022 all drones manufactured after that date MUST transmit Remote ID. We have less than a dozen of the large display units in stock. Parts are on order to make more but with Christmas we don't expect to see them until mid January of 2023.

12/7/2022: We now have a built-in case for the small display unit.

12/6/2022: We now have a limited supply of all the units. If you contacted us requesting us to reserve a unit for you we will hold it until 12/13/2022.

We are limiting purchases to 5 per customer at this time and we are only shipping in the US. We still offer free shipping but that will go away soon.

To purchase, open the "Purchase" panel.

Sorry, cases and receivers (Sentrys) are sold out. More are on order.
