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-M50 delivers clear, high-detail imaging at long distances, enabling precise observation of individuals, vehicles, and infrastructure without the need for close-range operation.
50mm Thermal Imager
Built for Day-and-Night Awareness
Equipped with a 640x512 thermal imaging sensor featuring a 50 mm long-range lens, the Storm Eye-30IE-M50 supports detection distances of up to 6 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-M50 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-M50 enables tool-free installation and a secure physical connection,streamlining deployment while ensuring stable imaging in operation.
UAV, UGV, USV Compatible
All-Round Imaging Support
Featuring a stabilized gimbal platform, long-range zoom, clear day-and-night observation, and intelligent target detection and tracking, our gimbal cameras integrate seamlessly with UAVs, ground vehicles, marine vessels, and robotic platforms, delivering dependable imaging support for a wide range of industrial missions.
Designated Control System
Compatible to MAVLink
Powered by the in-house YDlink camera control software, the Storm Eye-30IE-M50 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-M50 operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 60°C , ensuring reliable performance across diverse operating environments.
Target Tracking via Coordinated Camera-Drone Control
Through integration with the camera and drone control system, the Storm Eye-30IE-M50 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.
