The Game-Changer for Drone Professionals
When infrared camera technology meets AI, drones evolve from flying cameras to intelligent mission partners. The FPV AI DUAL CAM suite – a 36×36×9.2mm module weighing <50g – integrates visible light, thermal imaging, and AI image processing into one rugged package. Whether you’re inspecting solar farms at dawn or locating missing hikers in pitch darkness, this system delivers:
- 60ms ultra-low latency video output (vs. 200ms in standard systems)
- 95%+ lock success rate on moving targets
- 200m+ recognition range for humans/vehicles
Key Advantage: 5-minute installation on Betaflight/Ardupilot drones eliminates complex retrofits.
Why Dual-Light Fusion Outperforms Standard Cameras
Traditional drone with camera systems struggle in fog, dust, or darkness. The FPV AI DUAL CAM solves this through:
- Smart Scene Adaptation
- Automatically switches between visible/IR/fusion modes
- Maintains clarity in 0.01 lux low-light (starlight conditions)
- AI Track Precision
- Tracks 30+ dynamic targets simultaneously
- Recognizes humans at 200m (32×32 pixel minimum size)
- Stabilization Tech
- Electronic image stabilization counters drone vibrations

Real-World Applications Saving Lives & Resources
Case Study: Mountain Rescue in Colorado
A SAR team used a drone with infrared camera equipped with this system to locate a lost hiker at night:
- AI auto-track locked onto body heat signatures through dense pine canopy
- Dual-light fusion provided terrain context invisible to pure thermal
- 90% battery savings vs. heavier payloads enabled 3x search coverage
“The AI camera identified the victim in 47 seconds – traditional methods took 20 minutes.”– Field Team Lead
Technical Deep Dive: Engineering Behind the Efficiency
The secret lies in three innovations:
- Neural Network Co-Processing
- Onboard AI image processing runs YOLOv5-based algorithms
- Processes 1080p@30fps video at <10W power draw
- Hybrid Zoom Architecture
- 20x optical + 7x digital zoom in visible light mode
- Fail-Safe Tracking
- Maintains locks through 2-second occlusions (e.g., targets behind trees)
FAQ Section
Q1: How does this differ from DJI’s thermal drones?
A: Unlike closed ecosystems, our open-source compatibility (Betaflight/Ardupilot) lets you upgrade existing drones. The sub-60ms latency also beats DJI’s 120ms systems for FPV racing.
Q2: Can it detect animals for wildlife research?
A: Yes! The AI recognizes deer (0.6m² heat profile) at 100m. Researchers in Kenya used it to track elephant migration with 95% accuracy.
Q3: What’s the minimum drone size required?
A: Tested on 3-inch cinewhoop drones (e.g., GEPRC CineLog). The 50g payload won’t cripple small platforms.
Q4: How to export temperature data?
A: Via RTSP stream (1080p H.264) or microSD raw data. Our SDK supports Python/C++ for custom analytics.
