  • Does the UAV have an automatic return-to-base function when the battery is low? Is there a one-click return home or low voltage warning to ensure timely and safe return during manual control?

    (1) Automatic Return-to-Base During Autonomous Flight: The ground control system can be configured to trigger an automatic return-to-base function when the battery is low. The UAV will automatically initiate the return-to-base process once the low battery threshold is reached. The system continuously calculates the required battery for the return journey, ensuring that the UAV returns to base within the safe voltage range, even if the mission is not completed, thus avoiding flight risks caused by battery depletion.

    (2) Return-to-Base Guarantee During Manual Control: In manual flight mode, users can initiate a one-click return-to-base at any time to ensure safe return. The ground control system monitors the battery voltage in real-time and will issue continuous warning alerts when the voltage falls below a safe threshold, prompting the user to return the UAV safely in time.


  • Will the noise be too loud during daily fire patrols in urban areas? Is there a possibility of complaints from residents?

    The drone generates higher power and noise during the vertical takeoff phase, but this stage lasts only for a few seconds before it quickly transitions into horizontal flight. During horizontal flight, the power is reduced to about 1/10 of the vertical takeoff phase, and the noise is significantly reduced, usually becoming inaudible at ground level. Therefore, daytime operations generally do not cause noise disturbance.

    For nighttime operations, to minimize potential disturbance or complaints, optimized takeoff and landing points can be selected, such as open areas at least 100 meters away from residential buildings, further reducing the impact on the surrounding environment.



  • Can the flight altitude be set during automatic flight?

    Users can plan the flight route and set the flight altitude through the ground station. Additionally, the flight altitude can be adjusted in real time during the flight to accommodate different task requirements and flight environments.



  • Can the minimum flight speed be set or controlled in manual or autonomous flight modes?

    In both manual and autonomous flight modes, users can control or set the minimum flight speed:

    (1) Manual Flight (Stabilization Mode): In this mode, users can control the throttle using the joystick on the remote controller, thereby controlling the flight speed. Since this mode requires a higher level of pilot control, it is recommended for users with some flight experience.

    (2) Semi-Autonomous Flight (Waypoint Mode): In this mode, the throttle is no longer manually controlled by the user. Instead, the system adjusts the cruise throttle automatically to maintain a stable flight speed.

    (3) Fully Autonomous Flight (Mission Mode): During mission flights, if the UAV experiences altitude loss or other issues, the system will automatically compensate for the throttle to ensure the stability of the flight attitude and speed.


  • How are the wind and rain protection issues of the base station solved? Will usage be affected by rain or snow? What is the daily maintenance cost?

    (1) Wind and Rain Protection Measures

    Site Optimization: The base station should be located away from wind corridors and areas prone to water accumulation to minimize the impact of harsh weather.

    Waterproof Design: The base station is sealed with an IP65 or higher protection rating to ensure that the equipment is not affected by rain.

    Rainproof Structure: The base station features a drainage design, and the cabin doors can prevent rainwater accumulation when closed.

    (2) Impact of Rain and Snow Weather and Safety

    Waterproof and Moisture-Proof: The equipment is treated with waterproof coatings, sealing strips, and other protective measures to ensure normal operation in rain or snow, preventing moisture-related electrical leakage.

    Low-Temperature Adaptability: The base station can be equipped with an automatic air conditioning system to prevent freezing or performance degradation in cold environments.

    Power Safety: The design includes lightning protection and grounding to avoid electrical leakage or damage caused by thunderstorms.

    (3) Daily Maintenance Costs

    Regular Inspections: Maintenance includes checking the sealing integrity, protective structures, and inspecting electrical circuits for safety.

    Protection Upgrades: After long-term use, it may be necessary to replace sealing rings, waterproof coatings, etc. Maintenance costs depend on the quality of the equipment and the operating environment.

    Overall Control: If the base station is built with high-quality, weather-resistant materials and follows a reasonable maintenance schedule, overall maintenance costs can be kept at a low level.





  • Can the drone lock onto the fire target and automatically alert? How is the alert logic implemented? Within what range of the flight path will the fire point be automatically tracked?

    (1) Automatic Patrol Fire Monitoring Capability: The drone is equipped with a Multi-Spectrum Camera Gimbal (including infrared camera, intelligent recognition module, etc.) for automatic patrol along the pre-set flight path. When a potential fire is detected, the drone can automatically lock onto the target and enter a hovering reconnaissance mode, transmitting real-time image data and sending fire point coordinates and alerts to the ground. The user can also manually select the target on the screen, causing the drone to circle around the target.

    (2) Alert Logic: The drone’s command and dispatch system automatically analyzes and identifies fire situations based on real-time video and thermal imaging data, triggering automatic alerts. The alert information includes the fire point coordinates, real-time imagery, and other relevant data, allowing the command center to make rapid decisions and coordinate rescue efforts.

    (3) Flight Path and Fire Tracking: The drone’s original flight path does not affect its ability to circle and monitor the fire. Once a fire is detected and confirmed, the drone can deviate from its original flight path to hover around the fire point.


  • How is the flight altitude determined during coordinated multi-base UAV operations in urban areas, can it automatically adjust according to building floor heights, and will image clarity be affected?

    In urban environments, when deploying multiple base stations for UAV patrol operations, flight altitude can be flexibly configured during route planning, with routes saved for permanent reuse to support automated missions across various terrains and building layouts:

    (1)Fixed-altitude flight: Suitable for areas with minimal obstacles and relatively uniform building heights.

    (2)Flexible altitude adjustment: Flight altitude can be varied between waypoints based on terrain and building height to ensure optimal field of view; terrain is surveyed in advance to plan routes that avoid tall structures and ensure flight safety.

    (3)Impact on image clarity: Maintaining a constant altitude over uneven terrain may reduce image clarity when capturing distant ground targets, even with zoom functions; atmospheric conditions (e.g., dust, fog) can also degrade image quality.


  • Can the operator, after dialing 119 to report a fire, initiate a one-click flight to the fire alarm location using the fire point coordinates?

    Yes. The drone ground station system supports manual input of coordinates and automatically plans the optimal flight route to the target location. After flying to the fire point, it performs a hovering reconnaissance flight, transmitting real-time image data to quickly assess the fire situation and assist in decision-making.


  • If temperature measurement and infrared functions are added, how accurate are these data? And what would be the estimated cost if these functions are included?

    Our company offers the Multi-Spectrum Camera Gimbal (EO/IR/LIDAR) equipped with an infrared camera, and we can additionally customize the infrared temperature measurement feature for precise temperature readings:

    (1)Precision of Infrared Temperature Measurement: The infrared camera detects infrared radiation emitted by objects with temperatures above absolute zero, converting it into a visual image with temperature data. This data is highly accurate and reliable, accessible for use at the ground station. This technology is particularly effective in low-light environments, enabling accurate measurement of temperature changes in objects.

    (2)Cost of Adding Infrared Temperature Measurement Function: The specific cost depends on the required configuration and customization.


  • Does the camera gimbal support zoom functionality, including the ability to zoom in and out?

    Our company’s camera gimbal supports zoom functionality, allowing users to easily control zooming in and out through the ground station.

    Currently, the standard gimbal provided by our company is equipped with a 30x zoom camera, which includes 10x optical zoom and 3x electronic zoom, reaching a total of 30x zoom. This meets the needs of most reconnaissance tasks, offering clear and stable images, and is suitable for a wide range of application scenarios.


  • Can adding devices like night vision significantly increase the payload? Can the payload capacity be upgraded?

    Our drones offer flexible payload options with a modular design, supporting equipment mounting based on mission requirements:

    (1)Gimbal Mount Options: We offer two standard gimbals: single-spectrum and multi-spectrum gimbals. The multi-spectrum gimbal, which supports night infrared vision, weighs 608g and is compact, compatible with all our drone models.

    (2)Additional Payload Equipment: Mounting heavier devices (e.g., loudspeakers) will increase the payload weight. For devices exceeding the weight limit, we recommend choosing larger wingspan models. Our product range supports up to a 15kg payload capacity, allowing users to select models that suit their payload needs while ensuring safe and stable flight.
