High Dynamic Range
Starlight Night Vision Camera
The HDR feature in ZR10 can precisely capture details of highlights and shadows
in dynamic scenes, getting away of low light or backlight. The ultra-sensitive
starlight CMOS can keep image bright even in low light environment.
Applications
Asset Inspection
ZR10’s 30x hybrid zoom camera, working with HD image transmission devices, can
be applied in various asset inspection scenes such as power plant, construction site,
etc. Especially in inspecting very dangerous assets such as electric towers and wind
turbines, drones equipped with ZR10 zoom camera can secure ground operators
with enough distance to finish inspection by checking the received zoom images
over the air efficiently and safely.
Fire Control and Rescue
In emergent situations such rescue in fire control scenes, firefighters need to see
the full picture as fast as possible. ZR10 is zoom feature can help firefighters quickly
see what is happening and transfer important real-time images to the command
center, so they can deploy or adjust rescue force in time. Then the rescue task can
be finished in high level and high efficiency.
Traffic Monitoring

ZR10 User Manual V1.0
5 2022 SIYI Technology, All Rights Reserved
To see the full scene, and to check a specific spot, traffic coordinators just need to
hover their drones equipped with ZR10 gimbal camera in safe space over the target
position, then they can monitor the road traffic in real-time. The monitoring images
can be zoomed in when they check details or zoomed out when they stream images
of the whole scene.
