Principle of Operation

SKYEYE is an aerial vehicle that utilizes the principle of a kite, leveraging wind to maintain a more stable and higher altitude.
It can operate in wind conditions ranging from calm to speeds of up to 15m/s.
With GPS-based line-of-sight control technology, the camera’s viewing angle can be fixed or adjusted to conduct monitoring.
Remote control from the ground allows for camera and gimbal operation, and the zoom function enables the identification and response to specific objects on the ground.
