\n| Positioning<\/td>\n | 5-constellation GNSS + vision fusion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nBuilt for the dock: operations with no pilot on site<\/h2>\nThe Matrice 4TD is the aircraft of DJI’s drone-in-a-box<\/strong> solution: housed in the DJI Dock 3, it takes off, runs its scheduled missions and returns to charge with no human intervention on site. Its 54 minutes of flight time<\/strong> cover extended patrols, its fast charge (15 % to 95 % in 27 minutes) chains rotations, and its takeoff in around ten seconds answers urgent alarm verifications.<\/p>\nIts IP55<\/strong> rating and its -20 °C to 50 °C<\/strong> operating range let it fly in rain, dust and extreme temperatures: this is what sets it apart from a conventional piloted drone, and what allows permanent outdoor deployment on a roof, an industrial site or a sensitive perimeter.<\/p>\nA complete sensor suite, thermal included<\/h2>\nThe Matrice 4TD carries several complementary sensors:<\/p>\n \n- Wide-angle camera<\/strong> (48 MP 1\/1.3″ CMOS): detailed overview of the operating area.<\/li>\n
- Medium tele camera 70 mm<\/strong> (48 MP 1\/1.3″ CMOS, 3x optical zoom): precision inspections at medium range.<\/li>\n
- Tele camera 168 mm<\/strong> (48 MP 1\/1.5″ CMOS, 112x hybrid zoom): identifying details at long range.<\/li>\n
- Infrared thermal camera<\/strong>: 640 x 512 pixel sensor with temperature measurement from -40 °C to 150 °C, to detect heat sources even in complete darkness.<\/li>\n
- Laser rangefinder<\/strong>: precise measurement up to 1,800 metres (distance, target coordinates, area calculation).<\/li>\n
- NIR auxiliary light<\/strong>: image quality at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Automation with DJI FlightHub 2<\/h2>\nThe Matrice 4TD is operated entirely remotely through DJI FlightHub 2<\/strong>: recurring mission planning, intelligent object detection (people, vehicles, boats, thermal anomalies), real-time streaming to the control room and sharing with ground teams. Its on-board relay mode extends transmission range for large sites.<\/p>\nSafety and reliability<\/h2>\nOmnidirectional obstacle sensing is optimised for low-light environments and spots thin obstacles such as cables. Positioning through 5-constellation GNSS and vision fusion keeps the aircraft stable even under interference. The drone is covered by DJI Care Enterprise for its first year.<\/p>\n Use cases by profession<\/h2>\n24\/7 site surveillance<\/h3>\nDeployed in a Dock 3, the Matrice 4TD runs scheduled patrols and alarm verifications, by day and by night thanks to its thermal camera. In Belgium, Drone Parts Center equips the Federal Police and more than 20 police zones, as well as 4 emergency zones and the civil protection service.<\/p>\n Remote infrastructure inspection<\/h3>\nPower lines, industrial sites, civil engineering structures: the 112x hybrid zoom and the laser rangefinder document defects from a distance, without sending a pilot on site for every pass.<\/p>\n Public safety and rescue<\/h3>\nSearch for missing persons, monitoring of risk areas, support to interventions: the 640 x 512 thermal camera and the NIR light make the 4TD a reference night-time tool for police and rescue services.<\/p>\n DJI Matrice 4TD vs DJI Matrice 4D: which drone should you choose?<\/h2>\nHesitating with the M4D version, which has no thermal camera? Here are the key differences:<\/p>\n \n\n\n| Feature<\/th>\n | DJI Matrice 4TD<\/th>\n | DJI Matrice 4D<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| Infrared thermal camera (640 x 512 px)<\/td>\n | Yes<\/td>\n | No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Laser rangefinder (1,800 m range)<\/td>\n | Yes<\/td>\n | Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| NIR auxiliary light (night vision)<\/td>\n | Yes<\/td>\n | No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Wide-angle camera<\/td>\n | 48 MP 1\/1.3″ CMOS<\/td>\n | 20 MP 4\/3 CMOS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Tele camera 168 mm (112x hybrid zoom)<\/td>\n | Yes<\/td>\n | Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Ingress protection<\/td>\n | IP55<\/td>\n | IP55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Flight time<\/td>\n | Up to 54 min<\/td>\n | Up to 54 min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Primary use case<\/td>\n | Surveillance, public safety, night-time verification<\/td>\n | Daytime documentation, inspection and mapping<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n The M4TD is the choice for any mission requiring thermal detection or night operations: site surveillance, public safety, search for missing persons. The M4D suits documentation and inspection work in daytime conditions, where thermal vision is not required.<\/p>\n Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\nWhat is the difference between the Matrice 4TD and the Matrice 4T?<\/h3>\nThe 4TD is the docking-station version: IP55 rated, compatible with the DJI Dock 3 and C6 compliant in standalone mode, for automated and remote operations. The Matrice 4T<\/a> is the conventional piloted version, lighter to deploy day to day; it is not weather sealed.<\/p>\nCan the Matrice 4TD fly without the DJI Dock 3?<\/h3>\nYes. The Standalone Combo version (remote controller, battery, charger and case) allows it to be flown as a conventional piloted drone, in C6 compliance. The docking station remains its natural environment for recurring missions.<\/p>\n Is the Matrice 4TD suited to night missions?<\/h3>\nYes. Its 640 x 512 pixel thermal camera, its NIR auxiliary light and its night mode make it a reference tool for alarm verification and searching for missing persons in complete darkness.<\/p>\n Can it operate in bad weather?<\/h3>\nYes. Its IP55 rating and its -20 °C to 50 °C operating range let it fly in rain, in dust and in winds up to 12 m\/s.<\/p>\n What is the difference with the Matrice 4D?<\/h3>\nThe 4D shares the IP55 airframe and the 54-minute flight time but carries neither a thermal camera nor a NIR light: it is optimised for daytime visual documentation, with a 20 MP 4\/3 wide-angle sensor. The comparison table above details the differences.<\/p>\n What is the delivery time in Belgium and Luxembourg?<\/h3>\nDelivery within 24h on equipment in stock, anywhere in Belgium and Luxembourg.
