Product overview

The YANGDA Recon Eye-K3T combines a visible-light camera, thermal imager and AI recognition and tracking on a three-axis gimbal for multirotor missions. Its 8MP visible-light camera captures 3840×2160 imagery and provides 40x digital zoom for distant observation. The 18mm thermal camera uses a vanadium oxide uncooled infrared focal plane detector, with native 640×512 resolution and AI-enhanced imaging up to 1280×1024. Together, these imaging capabilities support border monitoring, industrial inspection, target tracking and emergency response, including observation in low-light and nighttime conditions.

Built from aluminium alloy, the Recon Eye-K3T incorporates a quick-release mechanism for tool-free installation. It operates on 12-18V within a temperature range of -20°C to +50°C. Integration options include PX4 and ArduPilot systems, MAVLink, and PWM, S.Bus, UART and Ethernet interfaces. AI recognition detects 32 targets simultaneously at a recognition frame rate of 30fps, with cars and people as default target types. TF card recording supports JPEG images at 3840*2160 and MP4 video at 1080P 30fps, with H264 and H265 encoding.
