    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    I agree absolutely Erised. That's the plan. Is this something the Inspire can do OTB, do I just need to buy the litchi app, or does this require further hardware? I do want the operator to learn to fly well hands-on over dry land first. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    Thank you for your advice Ibmftw. Haven't received the quote I requested yet. I can definitely wait a month. The one that drew my attention because of the price was aerialmediapros.com because of the listed price. They advertise a DJI Inspire 1 Zenmuse XT with a price reduction from $3,297...

    Yeap jcommisso. That's the right solution I believe, as suggested by Ibmftw. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Inspire XT a definite solution. Thanks! Getting a quote now for the Inspire XT. Lume cubes would not work for me since intruders would likely be able hide upon seeing the drone approaching. But they would have a hard time hiding from a thermal camera. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots...

    I had not understood that the Inspire XT has night vision capabilities out of the box. I will look into it... Returning to civilization from the farm... Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    Thank you Erised, eyecon82, and Ibmftw. As for programmed flights to see the recording afterwards, it would be somewhat useless since the operator (pilot?) would not be able to inform security the instant an intruder is seen by the drone. Ibmftw, do you know if the Inspire with the XT provide...

    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    Does anyone have experience with FLIR cameras on drones? I'm being told by a potential supplier that the night camera live feed can only travel 1,000 feet. That would sort of render it useless to cover large areas. Anyone have experience in this? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    Thanks Ibmftw. Money is always a thang when you've worked hard for it. Plus I believe in learning to crawl before you walk. The P3 with a camera change may be the right way to start. I expect this unit to crash a few times as the person who will be using it learns to handle it. Can you just...

    Sounds good! Dronenerds.com seems like a good place to go for this. Any other suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Hmmm, I think the Matrice 100 would be quite an expensive learning experience... Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Like I said in the beginning... Totally new at this drone thing. Never heard of the Matrice 100 and not familiar with IIRC acronym... Will look into it now. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    Nica TheLightSpeed... And thank you Erised. After researching your DJI Inspirer with FLIR advise I am honing in on that solution with the Rocky Mountain Unmanned Systems kit for a little over $2,000. Although I will call them first to see if they have a kit for the Phantom 4. I do not need the...

    FLIR night surveillance with Phantom 4

    DJI Inspire with FLIR camera is an excellent solution that I was not aware of. One concern that comes to mind is the 18 min max time probably means 12 minutes or so real time. Besides that, I see pricing for the cameras separately from the DJI inspire pricing. Anyone know where to buy it as a...
