  • Multi-Target Recognition: Detects humans, vehicles (cars, trucks, buses), and boats simultaneously.
  • Collaborative Anti-Lost Tracking: Works seamlessly with SIYI gimbals and optical pods.
  • Miniature and Lightweight Design: Perfect for drone applications with low power consumption.
  • Ethernet & HDMI Video Output: Easy integration with multiple drone systems.

Applications of the SIYI AI Tracking Module

The versatility of the SIYI AI 4T Tracking Module makes it suitable for:


  1. Agriculture: Precision spraying, crop monitoring, plant health inspection.
  2. Surveillance: Tracking people, vehicles, and other moving objects in restricted zones.
  3. Forestry & Environmental Monitoring: Identifying wildlife, logging activities, and tracking environmental changes.
  4. Logistics & Transportation: Monitoring cargo, vehicles, and marine vessels.

The AI module’s accuracy and real-time processing make drones more reliable and effective for professional applications.
