The upgraded 1280x1024 thermal imager boasts a top-tier spec in the industry, offering unmatched clarity for detecting targets in darkness or low-visibility conditions, setting a new standard for night operations.
Its AI Auto-Identification delivers precise detection and stable tracking of vehicles and humans. Developed on FOC (field-oriented control) technology, The Storm Eye-30IE-HTM50 gimbal drone camera ensures crystal-clear video footage in any scenario, and provides invaluable insights for missions like inspection or object monitoring.
High-Performance 3-Axis Gimbal With 360-Degree Rotation
Powered by a sophisticated, high-sensitivity sensor, this high-performance 3-axis drone gimbal offers a control accuracy of ±0.02°. It stabilizes video across yaw, pitch, and roll axes for precise target tracking, delivering crystal-clear footage every time.
30X Optical Zoom Capability
This UAV camera offers a clear HD 1920x1080 resolution, with 30x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, providing a total of 360x zoom capability. It streams smooth 1080P 30fps video, capturing every detail with precision, making it well-suited for zooming in on distant targets without losing quality.
Ultra-High-Quality Thermal Imager
With a UHD 1280x1024 resolution, 50mm lens, 25Hz frequency, and 8x digital zoom, this gimbal camera’s got top-notch thermal tracking. You’ll never lose your target, it tracks reliably with both thermal and daylight sensors, day or night.
Target GPS Coordinate
The cutting-edge location algorithm calculates a target’s distance up to 5000 meters while precisely determining its longitude and latitude. This feature is crucial for drone patrols and inspections, making it simple to pinpoint and share suspicious target coordinates with a supervisor. Plus, the drone can continuously monitor the target based on the coordinates.
Auto-Identity: Auto Detection And Tracking
Based on cross-correlation, tracking and object miss recapturing algorithm, the Storm Eye-30IE-HTM50 30x EO/IR triple sensor zoom camera can realize continuously stable object tracking on both daylight zoom camera and the thermal imager.
Fly By Camera: Autonomous Tracking
A surveillance VTOL can follow and monitor a stationary or moving target of interest along a routine patrol route if the onboard drone zoom camera tracks it. Additionally, the target's coordinates can be copied and shared with the command center. Once the monitoring is complete, the VTOL drone can return to its original patrol route.
Monitor Target Movement Status Via GCS
The pilot can use the LAUNCH GCS to monitor the target's movement status, such as real-time updated GPS coordinates, the distance between the target and the drone, as well as the distance between the target and the HOME position.
Fast Deploy And Simple Gimbal Control
The 3-axis EO/IR drone gimbal supports YDPORT quick attach and release mechanism, making gimbal installation fast and convenient. Meanwhile, the drone gimbal supports S.bus, TTL serial port, and ethernet. With the help of YDlink gimbal control software, gimbal control is simple and easy.
Anti-Scald Protection
The thermal imager in this gimbal camera features a built-in burn protection mechanism. It can withstand direct sun exposure for up to 30 seconds without permanent damage, recovering fully within 24 hours. This ensures reliable performance even in challenging conditions.
MAVLINK Compatible
The Storm Eye-30IE-HTM50 drone gimbal is compatible with drones powered by PX4 and Ardupilot, making integration relatively convenient.
Industry Applications
Engineered for precision in demanding environments, the Storm Eye-30IE-HTM50 drone camera is one of the best drone camera for a wide range of industries such as surveillance, infrastructure inspection, security monitoring, search and rescue, or border patrol, this advanced gimbal camera delivers unparalleled clarity and stability. With its powerful zoom, AI-driven tracking, and ultra high-resolution thermal imaging, it enables operators to detect, monitor, and respond to critical situations with accuracy and efficiency.
