DJI Zenmuse H20N – Night Vision Meets Precision Intelligence in the Sky
The DJI Zenmuse H20N isn’t just a camera – it’s a high-tech surveillance powerhouse designed for the toughest night-time, thermal, and search-and-rescue missions. Built for public safety, emergency response, law enforcement, fire departments, and industrial inspections, the H20N combines starlight night vision, dual thermal cameras, a laser rangefinder, and a wide-angle camera in a single rugged payload.
Whether flying into darkness, smoke, or fog, the Zenmuse H20N delivers clear, actionable visuals that help teams see more, respond faster, and operate safely in conditions where traditional cameras would fail. This payload transforms your DJI Matrice 300 RTK into a multi-role mission partner capable of tackling complex aerial operations.
Features of DJI Zenmuse H20N
1. Starlight Night Vision Camera – See Clearly in Low Light
The H20N’s dual starlight-grade night vision cameras (2 MP each) provide sharp visuals even in near-total darkness. With 20× hybrid optical zoom and 128× max digital zoom, your drone can monitor people, vehicles, or hotspots without the need for artificial lighting. Perfect for night patrols, surveillance, or search-and-rescue missions where visibility is limited.
2. Dual Thermal Cameras – Broad and Detailed Heat Detection
Two thermal imagers offer both wide (53°) and narrow (13°) fields of view, giving situational awareness and precise thermal zooming. Use them for fire detection, industrial inspections, or locating missing persons by body heat. The dual-camera setup ensures fast, reliable thermal intelligence.
3. 20× Hybrid Optical Zoom – Clarity Without Compromise
Zoom in safely from a distance with 20× hybrid optical zoom and up to 128× digital zoom. Monitor crowds, inspect infrastructure, or detect hazards without risking personnel or equipment. Zoom functions seamlessly in night vision mode.
4. Laser Rangefinder – Accurate Distance Measurements
Measure distances from 3 m to 1,200 m with precision. Whether determining a building’s height or mapping a location, the laser rangefinder provides reliable real-time measurements for inspection and tactical operations.
5. Multi-View Modes – Thermal, Visual, or Fusion
Switch between thermal imaging, wide-angle, or fused overlay modes with a single tap. Picture-in-Picture and Split-Screen modes help teams interpret thermal data alongside real-world visuals, simplifying decision-making in critical missions.
6. IP44 Weather Resistance – Built for Harsh Conditions
With an IP44 rating, the H20N handles dust, light rain, and outdoor environments. Deploy the payload confidently, even in adverse weather, without compromising sensor performance.
7. Smart Tracking & AI Recognition – Let the Drone Do the Work
Smart Track and High-Res Grid Photo automate tracking and inspection. Lock onto moving targets, capture high-resolution images, and focus on mission objectives while the payload manages the details.
8. Seamless Matrice 300 RTK Integration
Designed specifically for the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, the H20N integrates fully with intelligent flight modes, RTK precision, and obstacle avoidance. It provides a smooth, professional workflow for complex industrial, public safety, or emergency operations.

FAQ`s
How do the H20N's dual thermals operate differently?
Wide thermal mode utilizes a 12mm lens, 45.5° DFOV (diagonal field of view), and allows for 4x zoom for overviews. Tele thermal is 44.5mm with a 12.5° DFOV, and enables 16x/32x zoom for details. Both offer resolutions of 640x512 and run at 30 fps with a NETD ≤ 50 mK.
What temperature ranges and measurement modes are available in the H20N thermals?
High gain mode measures a temperature range of -20°C to 150°C, while Low gain operates up to 500°C. There are spot and area measurement modes with palettes (White Hot/Black Hot) that provide accuracy of ±2°C at 2-4x, or ±5°C at 8x or more.
What would be the Laser Rangefinder spec on the H20N?
905nm, 3.5mW Class 1M Laser Rangefinder; Distance Measurement capability up to 3 - 1200m (0.5x12m surface area, 20% reflectivity); Accuracy within ±(0.2m+ 0.15% of distance); 6ns Pulse and GPS tagging.
What is the appropriate App and Drone Firmware required for use with the H20N?
Latest Android DJI Pilot 2; Matrice 300 RTK (updated firmware); Micro SD card ≤ 128GB. The H20N payload incurs RTK, avoidance, and intelligent modes when using the 300 RTK platform.
What Viewing Modes enhance analysis capability on the H20N?
Thermal (non-visual), visual (non-thermal), and Overlay-European Fusion viewing modes; Picture in Picture (PiP); Split-Screen; Pressing the zoom button on the left side of the screen allows for synced zoom between both visible and thermal modes; Up to 32x hybrid thermal mode zoom.
