Product overview

The YANGDA Sky Eye-HT50 combines a 50mm lens, a 1280x1024 thermal sensor with 12μm pixels and a stabilized 3-axis gimbal for nighttime monitoring, inspection and tracking. Its uncooled long-wave imager operates across 8μm~14μm and provides 8x digital zoom, automatic brightness and contrast adjustment, and white hot, black hot and pseudo color palettes. A quick-release mechanism enables tool-free installation. The gimbal offers ±90° pitch, ±45° roll and unlimited yaw, with angular jitter of ±0.02° for pitch, roll and yaw.

YDlink camera control software supports MAVLink integration with PX4 and ArduPilot for real-time telemetry, video transmission and command execution. Ethernet video output is available at 1080P/720P 30fps, with MP4 recording at the same resolutions and frame rate and JPG photography at 1920*1080. Local storage supports TF cards up to 128G, class 10, formatted as FAT32 or ex FAT. The camera operates from -25°C to 60°C. Daylight operation is limited to thermal imaging, allowing observation of heat signatures and environmental changes.
