Key Features

  • Triple-Sensor Integration:

30x Optical Zoom + 9x Digital Zoom (270x Hybrid Zoom): Capture ultra-clear details with a 2MP wide-dynamic CMOS sensor.

640×512 Thermal Imaging: 35mm lens, 12μm pixel pitch, and global temperature measurement (-20°C to 550°C).

5000m Laser Rangefinder: ±1m accuracy, Class 1 safety laser (1535nm).

  • AI-Powered Tracking: Detect and follow up to 100 targets (humans/vehicles) in real-time, even with 2-second occlusion tolerance.
  • Tri-Axis Stabilization: ±0.02° tilt/roll stability, 360° continuous rotation, and adaptive speed control.
  • Dual Recording & Streaming: RTSP 1080P/30fps video, simultaneous TF card storage, and network file access.
  • User-Friendly Controls: IP/S.BUS/serial port support, customizable PIP (Picture-in-Picture) modes, and 8+ pseudo-color displays.

Applications

  • Public Safety: Search and rescue, crowd monitoring, and law enforcement.
  • Industrial Inspection: Power line maintenance, pipeline monitoring, and solar farm checks.
  • Environmental & Defense: Wildlife tracking, border surveillance, and military reconnaissance.
  • Disaster Response: Firefighting, flood assessment, and post-disaster analysis.

Competitive Advantages

  • Long-Range Precision: 5km laser measurement and thermal detection for critical missions.
  • Lightweight & Durable: IP54-rated, operational in -10°C to +55°C environments.
  • Seamless Integration: Compatible with most UAVs, RTSP streaming, and plug-and-play controls.
  • Cost-Effective: Low power consumption (10W) reduces drone battery drain.

Usage Workflow

  1. Mounting: Attach to drones via 100x100mm M3 mounting holes.
  2. Power & Connect: Use 8-pin interface (12–26.2V input) and configure via IP/S.BUS/serial.
  3. Control: Access RTSP streams , toggle PIP/thermal modes, and adjust zoom via ground station software.
  4. Record & Analyze: Save footage to TF card or network storage, use AI tracking for target prioritization.
