Night Vision Drones

If you just want to fly at night, a good solution is to choose a drone that is lightweight and equipped with obstacle avoidance sensors to reduce the risk of airframe collision or human injury. An accurate GPS can help you retrieve a lost drone.

If you are a night photographer, carefully select the right camera for nighttime use. Most cameras that perform well during the day can be very disappointing at night. This is true of most camera drones on the market. In recent years, however, the night shooting market has begun to receive attention and solutions have emerged that specifically address the difficulties of night photography, such as Autel’s Intelligent Moonlight Algorithm, which can capture crisp, vibrant details at night with low noise - even when the ISO is cranked up high.

Night drone photography requires a strong light source to increase the visibility of the object being photographed. Therefore, most nighttime drone photography revolves around glowing urban buildings and infrastructure, which are visually appealing under the bright lights.

Night vision drones add thermal imagers and illuminators to the original high-quality sensors. Infrared cameras detect the heat signature of objects, enabling drones to "see" in the dark by capturing temperature differences. Night vision drones with thermal imaging are beginning to realize their potential in a variety of applications such as surveillance, search and rescue, wildlife monitoring, and security operations, and are of immeasurable value.

Thermal cameras create images based on the heat emitted by objects, identifying organisms, vehicles, and other heat sources even in complete darkness. At the same time, night vision drones equipped with advanced obstacle detection and avoidance systems help to navigate safely in the dark and prevent collisions with invisible objects.

Night vision drones are a powerful tool that provides enhanced visibility and operational efficiency in low-light conditions. Autel Robotics offers drones with thermal imaging technology: Autel 640T series, Autel EVO MAX series, Autel Alpha and Autel Titan.
