Industrial Cameras for Drones

High-resolution electro-optical cameras for demanding UAV applications

Maximum image quality with minimal weight, compact design, and low power consumption:
Our proven industrial cameras combine the highest image quality with reliable performance – crucial for precise data acquisition from the air.

  • From 5 g weight

    For longer flight times and higher payload flexibility
  • Resolutions up to 25 MP

    For detailed inspections and precise data basis
  • Low energy consumption from 2 watts

    For more efficiency and longer operations
  • Customizable

    Camera design, sensor integration, or focus calibration according to your requirements

Typical areas of application for camera drones

The aerial perspective provides insights into scenes and objects that would otherwise be impossible or require significant effort to obtain. Drones equipped with industrial cameras deliver machine-readable image data that can be automatically analyzed.

drones & uavs for infrastructure surveillance

Inspection and monitoring of infrastructure

Drones capture damage to bridges, wind turbines, or power plants reliably and in high resolution.
UAVs in agriculture

Agriculture and forestry

Airborne analyses provide data on plant and tree population development.
dronne or UAV for forestry

Surveying and mapping

Large areas can be quickly and thoroughly documented from the air.

Why our cameras are the right choice for your drone

With Basler industrial cameras, UAV manufacturers receive a future-proof solution designed for highest image quality, efficiency, and robust integration – the perfect balance for professional drone applications.

Keep a close eye on changes: Drones provide insights that are difficult or impossible to obtain from ground level.

The right camera for every type of application

Basler dart industrial camera

For inspections at a viewing distance

dart R cameras

The dart camera enables high-resolution, low-distortion, and industry-compliant image data for reliable defect detection from just a few millimeters–at working distances of 3 to 12 meters.

Basler industrial camera ace 2 a2A5060

Powerful 25 MP for High-Altitude Imaging

ace 2 cameras

With the ace 2 camera and a high-resolution telephoto or telecentric lens (125 mm focal length), objects as small as 3 cm can be reliably detected from an altitude of 300 m, or objects with a ground resolution of xx cm from an altitude of 1,500 m.

Industrial camera dart M: Easier to integrate into drones thanks to modular design

Camera sensor for special installation situations

dart M modular camera

The dart M is particularly suitable for installation situations with limited space: Thanks to its modular design, image capture can be carried out in a location that is separate from the computing connection.

Basler cameras: NVIDIA ready for embedded vision

For over ten years, we at Basler have consistently driven the integration of our camera technology with NVIDIA® processors. What began with the development of software packages that significantly simplify the integration of sophisticated embedded interfaces like MIPI CSI-2 on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, continues to evolve.

Currently, we are expanding our portfolio with the GMSL interface – another component that prepares our cameras for powerful edge processing on NVIDIA hardware. This makes them practical for use in embedded vision applications.
