FlytBase automates docked drone-in-a-box operations: scheduled, repeatable flights from a DJI Dock with no one on site. Nebli carries live video and detections from drones and cameras you already operate, including manually piloted ones, with no dock to buy. Most buyers are choosing between two different projects, not two versions of the same product. Where they do overlap is the live picture, and they can run together.
Which one fits depends on the problem you actually have.
The job: get live video and detections off the drones and cameras a team already operates, to whoever needs to watch, over the network already in the field. No aircraft sold, no dock required, and the pilot stays the customer’s certificated pilot.
Typical starting point: “We already fly. Our people cannot see the feed.”
The job: run scheduled, repeatable flights from a docking station without sending someone to the site. Mission planning, dock and fleet management, and the BVLOS operation around it. Software only; the docks and aircraft are bought separately.per public sources
Typical starting point: “We want a drone at this site flying a route on a schedule.”
Both put live video in front of an operator. If that is the only part you are evaluating, these are the differences that matter.
| Dimension | Nebli live video from what you already fly | FlytBase video as part of dock operations |
|---|---|---|
| 01What it needs to work |
A drone or camera you already have. Any RTSP source, no firmware change, no dock and no aircraft purchase.
|
The value is built around a docking station and the aircraft that lives in it, bought separately and installed at the site.per public sources
|
| 02Manually piloted flights |
The core case. A pilot flies; the feed and detections reach the room. Nebli augments the operator and does not fly the aircraft.
|
Supported alongside docked operations in the same dashboard, but the platform is built around unattended docked missions.per public sources
|
| 03Non-drone sources |
Fixed and trailer-mounted field cameras ride the same relay as the drones, on the same private link.
|
Connects CCTV and other sensors into a single view alongside the docked fleet.per public sources
|
| 04Sharing the feed |
A PIN-gated link anyone can open in a browser, no install and no account, viewers not metered.
|
Live feeds go to dispatch and command centers and can be pushed into an existing video management system.per public sources
|
| 05How you buy it |
Published flat tiers, free Pilot to start, self-serve signup without a sales call.
|
Quoted per deployment through a pricing enquiry; no public price list at the time of review.per public sources

FlytBase cells marked per public sources are summarized from FlytBase’s published material and are not independently verified by Nebli. Vendors move quickly; re-check before a decision.
Nebli is not certified CJIS, NDAA, SOC 2, or FedRAMP today. FlytBase publicly states ISO and SOC 2 compliance along with on-premises and air-gapped deployment options.
Ripping out a working dock program to gain a video layer would be a bad trade, and we would not propose it.
Scheduled docked flights stay where they are. Nebli does not orchestrate docks and does not try to.
Handheld sorties, incident response, and sites without a dock still need a live picture.
Partners and field teams watch on a PIN-gated link without accounts in your dock platform.
Cameras already on site join the same view, with no second portal.
A real comparison says where the other platform is stronger. Here is ours.
Only at the edges. FlytBase automates docked drone-in-a-box operations; Nebli carries live video and detections off drones and cameras already in the field. They meet at the live picture, and plenty of teams have a reason to run both. If a vendor tells you these are the same product, ask them which one flies the aircraft.
No. Nebli does not plan missions, dispatch aircraft, or make flight decisions. A certificated pilot flies; Nebli relays the video, telemetry, and detections to the people who need them. Unattended docked flight is FlytBase’s category, not ours.
No, and we would not propose one. Keep the dock program. Nebli covers the flights it does not: handheld sorties, incident response, and sites without a dock, plus fixed cameras already installed. It also gives partners and field teams a PIN-gated link without adding accounts to your dock platform.
No. Nebli sells no hardware and needs no docking station. Any drone or field camera that exposes RTSP works, with no firmware change, over the network already at the site.
FlytBase publicly states ISO and SOC 2 compliance and offers on-premises and air-gapped deployment. Nebli is not certified CJIS, NDAA, SOC 2, or FedRAMP today; it is built aligned to ISO 27001 controls with no third-party attestation yet. If a certification is a hard requirement, that is a real reason to pick another vendor, and we will say so rather than waste your evaluation cycle.
Start a free Pilot with one deployment. No dock, no hardware, no sales call required.
