The DJI Matrice 4 Series introduces a high-performance drone solution designed specifically for enterprise users.

Despite its compact size, comparable to the Mavic 3 Enterprise Series, the Matrice 4 Series sets itself apart with advanced performance and intelligent features.

This series includes two models the Matrice 4T and Matrice 4E.

Each model features tailored camera configurations and intelligent detection systems, complemented by a laser range finder and other smart functions.

These drones are suitable for diverse applications, including energy and utility inspections, emergency response, and surveying operations.

Cameras: Matrice 4 Series vs Mavic 3 Enterprise Series

The Matrice 4 Series delivers superior imaging capabilities through advanced camera configurations.

Matrice 4T:

• 48 MP wide-angle camera: For general-purpose inspections.

• Optical medium tele lens (70 mm): Ideal for close-range tasks like powerline or infrastructure inspections.

• Telephoto camera (168 mm): Enables detailed imaging from safe distances.

• Infrared camera: Provides thermal readings with up to 1280 x 1024 resolution in High-Res Mode, detecting temperature changes effectively.

The Matrice 4T is also equipped with a high-performance laser range finder, capable of detecting objects up to 1.8 km away, and a newly integrated near-infrared (NIR) auxiliary light to enhance visibility in low-light environments.

Matrice 4E: The Matrice 4E shares the telephoto cameras and laser range finder of the 4T. However, it includes:

• 4/3 sensor 20 MP wide-angle camera with a mechanical shutter: Designed for high-precision surveying and mapping tasks.

Both models now feature the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise Controller, which offers enhanced transmission through the O4 Enterprise Video Transmission System and a built-in high-gain antenna array.

Intelligent Functions of DJI Matrice 4E

The Matrice 4 Series includes advanced intelligent functions to assist in various scenarios.

• AI Detection: Detects vehicles, vessels, and other objects even in challenging terrains. Customisable AI detection supports use cases like livestock counting and road crack inspection.

• Real-Time Measurements: The laser range finder enables precise annotations (e.g., PinPoint, line drawing, area calculation) for tasks like marking risks during inspections or calculating wildfire-affected areas.

• Collaboration Tools: Information can be shared using the remote controller's QR code or through FlightHub 2 for seamless team coordination.

• Cruise Control Mode: Maintains consistent speed to allow pilots to focus on tasks such as rescue missions or situational awareness.

• FlyTo Option: Automatically sets and adjusts flight paths based on the last known location of a missing individual.

The series also includes two Night Scene Modes (black-and-white and full-colour) for low-light conditions and a Smart Low-Light Photo feature for capturing clear details at night.

Smart 3D Capture

Smart 3D Capture increases efficiency and precision in mapping and surveying operations:

• 5-Directional Oblique Capture: Adjusts the camera to capture data from multiple angles, improving the quality of models in oblique data-critical scenarios.

• 3-Directional Ortho Capture: Captures lateral imagery during ortho tasks, reducing the required side overlap for flight routes.

Mapping precision is further enhanced with an upgraded distortion correction algorithm, ensuring high-quality outputs.

After mission completion, the DJI Pilot 2 app generates a survey quality report to verify data accuracy.

Hardware Accessories

The Matrice 4 Series is compatible with advanced hardware accessories:

• DJI AS1 Speaker: Offers clear sound with a range of up to 300 metres, supporting real-time broadcasting, recorded messages, media imports, and text-to-speech conversion.

• DJI AL1 Spotlight: Illuminates objects up to 100 metres away with modes such as always-on and strobe, synchronised with the camera's movements for precise targeting.

• D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station: Provides centimetre-level positioning accuracy for surveying tasks, with capabilities for relay signal improvement in challenging transmission environments.

Transmission System

The Matrice 4 Series integrates the O4 Enterprise Video Transmission System, enabling:

• Transmission ranges of up to 25 km.

• Enhanced stability through an 8-antenna system and high-gain receiving antenna.

• Optional DJI Cellular 4G Dongle for transmission redundancy in complex environments.

The series also features an integrated RTK module and six high-definition fisheye lenses for improved navigation, visual positioning, and obstacle avoidance.

Data Privacy

Data privacy remains a priority with the following measures:

• Local Data Mode: Disables internet access and prevents syncing data with external servers.

• Customisable Security Modes: Pilots can adjust privacy settings during activation.

• Secure Cloud Services: Data managed on DJI Cloud Services is stored on AWS servers compliant with ISO 27001 standards.

SDK capabilities, including support for mobile apps, AI development, Terra, and Cloud API, further extend customisation options for enterprise users.

Extended Warranty

The purchase of a Matrice 4E or 4T includes:

• DJI Care Enterprise Plus: Extended warranty service for the first year.

• Terra Licence: 1-year licence for Matrice 4E or a 3-month licence for Matrice 4T.

The Matrice 4 Series delivers cutting-edge performance and versatility, expanding the possibilities of aerial intelligence for enterprise operations.

Summary:

The DJI Matrice 4 Series sets a new standard for enterprise drone operations, offering advanced performance, intelligent functions, and versatile applications.

Whether for inspections, emergency response, or mapping, the Matrice 4T and 4E provide reliable solutions tailored to diverse needs.
