Mission Fit
Why it Performs in Demanding Monitoring Missions
25–75mm Wide
Range IR Lens for Enhanced DRI Performance
The Sky Eye-3HT-MU integrates a UHD 1280×1024 thermal imager with a versatile 25–75mm infrared lens, enabling both wide-angle thermal observation and ultra-long-range target detection of up to 9 km. Combining flexible focal coverage with high-resolution thermal imaging, it delivers clear and accurate infrared visuals for nighttime inspection and monitoring missions, providing reliable situational awareness in demanding low-light environments.
3x Optical / 8x Digital Zoom
Enhanced Night Detail Capture
Equipped with 8× digital zoom and an upgraded 3× optical zoom system, the Sky Eye-3HT-MU delivers clearer, sharper, and more detailed nighttime imaging. This enhanced zoom capability supports industrial operators in achieving more efficient, data-driven night monitoring, even at medium-range observation distances.
5km LRF & AI Tracking
Precise Target Control
Real-time target ranging up to 5 km, combined with AI-powered recognition and auto-tracking. The Sky Eye-3HT-MU ensures continuous target awareness, minimizing the risk of target loss even in complex and dynamic environments.
4K Wide-Angle
Expanded Field of View
With a 3840x2160 resolution and a 125° diagonal FOV wide-angle lens, the Sky Eye-3HT-MU delivers an ultra-wide field of view, enabling full-area visibility and enhanced coverage of large areas, effectively reducing mission time.
2-Axis Gimbal
Plug-and-Play Integration
Designed with a quick-release mechanism, the 2-axis Sky Eye-3HT-MU enables tool-free installation and flexible switching between aerial views, streamlining deployment while maximizing operational flexibility.
Designated Control System
Compatible to MAVLink
Powered by the in-house YDlink camera control software, the Sky Eye-3HT-MU supports MAVLink protocol and integrates with PX4 and ArduPilot flight control systems, enabling real-time telemetry, video transmission, and precise command execution for efficient and reliable aerial operations.
Highly Resilient
In Harsh Environments
Equipped with built-in thermal sensor protection, the Sky Eye-3HT-MU operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C and withstands up to 30 seconds of direct sunlight exposure, ensuring reliable performance across diverse operating environments.
Target Tracking
Via Coordinated Camera-Drone Control
Through integration with the camera and drone control system, the Sky Eye-3HT-MU enables the drone to automatically adjust its flight path to follow the target. This ensures synchronized operation between the camera and the drone, maintaining readiness for real-time execution of target-related commands.
UAV, UGV, USV Compatible
