## Overview

The Raptor Vision AI Camera has both a normal (electro-optical) and a thermal sensor, and AI helps it find and track targets. It identifies air threats and watches them in real time. It is made for long-range counter-UAS work, and it shows the normal and thermal views at the same time, classifies drones by itself, tracks them closely and reacts fast in any weather.

The built-in AI recognises objects, tells targets apart and tracks them on its own. This gives the operator less to do and cuts false alarms in hard conditions. The normal Full HD view and the thermal view work together, so the camera keeps going at night and through fog, smoke and low light. Fast pan-tilt-zoom and ONVIF/TCP-IP links let it join modern C2 systems, EO/IR networks and layered air defence.
