Mission Fit
Why it Performs in Demanding Monitoring Missions
30x EO Zoom
For Long-Range Aerial Monitoring
Featuring a 30x optical zoom camera with 1920x1080 resolution, the Storm Eye-30IE-M delivers clear, high-detail imaging at long distances, enabling precise observation of individuals, vehicles, and infrastructure without the need for close-range operation.
35mm Thermal Imager
Built for Day-and-Night Awareness
Equipped with a 640x512 thermal imaging sensor featuring a 35 mm long-range lens, the Storm Eye-30IE-M supports detection distances of up to 4.5 km under low-light and nighttime conditions. Powered by precise infrared detection, heat signatures and environmental anomalies can be identified early, reducing the risk of missed dangers in complex environments.
5 km LRF and AI Tracking
For reliable target control
With up to 5 km laser ranging combined with AI-powered recognition and auto-tracking, the Storm Eye-30IE-M delivers continuous target awareness and stable tracking performance, minimizing the risk of target loss in complex and dynamic environments.
3-Axis Gimbal
Plug-and-Play Integration
Designed with a quick-release mechanism, the 3-axis Storm Eye-30IE-M enables tool-free installation and a secure physical connection,streamlining deployment while ensuring stable imaging in operation.
Designated Control System
Compatible to MAVLink
Powered by the in-house YDlink camera control software, the Storm Eye-30IE-M 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 Storm Eye-30IE-M operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 60°C , ensuring reliable performance across diverse operating environments.
Target Tracking
Coordinated Camera-Drone Control
Through integration with the camera and drone control system, the Storm Eye-30IE-M 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
