Video monitoring of distribution and abundance of Pacific salmon

FIXAR UAV performing video monitoring mission to track distribution and abundance of Pacific salmon

In August 2021 FIXAR customer carried out a real-time video monitoring survey. To execute the task, the researchers used a FIXAR 007 NG UAV equipped with a Tarot Peeper camera on a three-axis gimbal with Full HD quality.

To control the camera, the customer used a video downlink system to change the direction of view and broadcast the image in real-time at a distance of up to 20 km. The maximum route was 30 km. The option to change the shooting angle helped researchers collect high-quality video materials even when moving against the sun.

FIXAR 007 NG for video monitoring has a comprehensive approach to the tasks facing the customer:

  • The onboard equipment can record Full HD video with 10× zoom
  • An additional video downlink broadcasts the footage in real time and allows the customer to control the camera
  • The FIXAR 007 NG aerodynamic design enables vertical takeoff and landing with high positional accuracy within its own footprint
  • Aircraft control is simple and intuitive
  • Flight preparation takes less than 5 minutes
  • FIXAR xGroundControl Software supports flights at various altitudes and along any trajectory, allowing the customer to conduct video monitoring of the required area
  • High wind resistance (up to 18 m/s)
  • IP54 dust and moisture protection
