Product Overview
Storm Eye-40IE Pro is a 40x drone zoom camera with a thermal imager for drone inspection, surveillance, search, and rescue applications. The 40x zoom camera provides 1080P 30fps full HD video streaming and up to zoom 1280x capability, which enables you to see every detail you need in the air, even if you are far away from the target. While the thermal camera allows you to detect targets at night or in low visibility conditions and provides you with priceless information when you are carrying out missions like inspecting or object monitoring.
Powerful zoom capability
40x optical zoom, 32x digital zoom, 1080P 30fps video streaming.
High-precise 3-axis gimbal with 360-degree rotation
Powered by a dedicated sensor, the high-performance 3-axis gimbal has a control accuracy of ±0.02°, giving you crystal clear video footage.
High-resolution thermal imager
640*512 resolution, 25Hz frequency, 3 color palettes, 8x digital zoom.
Auto-Identity: auto detection and tracking
Based on cross-correlation, tracking and object miss recapturing algorithm, Storm Eye-40IE drone zoom camera can realize continuously stable object tracking on both daylight zoom camera and the thermal imager.
Fast deploy and simple gimbal control
The 3-axis 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.
MAVLINK compatible
Storm Eye-40IE drone gimbal is compatible with drones powered by PX4 and Ardupilot, making integration relatively convenient.
