Storm Eye-30IE-U 2-Axis EO/IR Gimbal Camera for Monitoring, Inspection and Security
Overview
Mounted on a lightweight 2-axis gimbal and weighing just 1 kg, the Storm Eye-30IE-U is designed for flexible and reliable aerial imaging operations. It integrates a 1080P EO camera with 30× optical zoom, an ultra-high-definition thermal imager with up to 4.5 km detection range, and built-in AI tracking capability for intelligent target observation and analysis. Combining visual perception, thermal awareness, and smart tracking in a compact payload, it enhances operational efficiency across applications including infrastructure inspection, perimeter security, and industrial monitoring.
Mission Fit
Why it Performs in Demanding Monitoring Missions
30× Optical Reach
For Precision Aerial Observation
Equipped with a 30× optical zoom EO camera and 1920×1080 full HD resolution, the Storm Eye-30IE-U delivers clear long-range visual intelligence without requiring close-proximity flight. From personnel identification to vehicle tracking and infrastructure inspection, it enables safer and more precise aerial observation across demanding mission environments.
UHD Thermal Vision
For Around-the-Clock Detection
Integrating a 35 mm thermal imaging sensor with ultra-high-definition 1280×1024 resolution, the Storm Eye-30IE-U delivers sharp infrared awareness across both daytime and nighttime missions. Combining a balanced field of view with reliable long-range thermal detection, it enables accurate target observation and enhanced situational awareness in low-visibility and low-light environments.
AI Tracking
Precise Target Control
Powered by real-time AI-powered recognition and auto-tracking, the Storm Eye-30IE-U ensures continuous target awareness, minimizing the risk of target loss even in complex and dynamic environments.
2-Axis Gimbal
Plug-and-Play Integration
Designed with a quick-release mechanism, the 2-axis Storm Eye-30IE-U 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 Storm Eye-30IE-U 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-U operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and withstands up to 30 seconds of direct sunlight exposure, 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-U 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
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.
