Product overview

The YANGDA Recon Eye-Y combines a 13MP visible-light CMOS camera and a 2MP starlight-grade visible-light CMOS camera in a three-axis gyro-stabilized gimbal with internal cable routing. Designed for medium-area monitoring, inspection and emergency rescue, it offers wide and narrow fields of view with real-time 1080P HD video. AI detection identifies people and vehicles, supports up to 10 simultaneously detectable targets, and allows a selected target to be locked and tracked. The 13M camera records 4K@30fps, while both cameras support 1920 × 1080@50fps.

The compact gimbal measures 46.0 mm × 44.0 mm × 52.0 mm and features a quick-release mechanism. Integration support covers VTOL and multirotor drones, PX4 and ArduPilot systems, MAVLink, and PWM, S.Bus, UART and Ethernet interfaces. Network and HDMI video outputs are paired with H.264/H.265 encoding, while network and serial control and an SDK support further development. Images can carry GPS coordinates in EXIF metadata; live streams and recordings support SEI metadata. Operating temperature is -20°C to +55°C, and the power rating is DC 9 V to 16.8 V / 3 A, total ≤7.5 W.
