DJI Unveils Powerful Drone Accessories for Public Safety and Security
DJI, a leading name in drone technology, has recently launched a new accessory designed with a critical focus on public safety and emergency response. The enterprise-oriented Zenmuse V1 speaker is engineered to ensure that officials are heard loud and clear, boasting an impressive sound output of up to 127 decibels at 1 meter. To put that in perspective, this volume is comparable to the noise level of a jet taking off, which underscores its potential effectiveness in emergency situations.
The Zenmuse V1 speaker can be seamlessly mounted on DJIs enterprise drones, specifically the Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 300 RTK. This powerful speaker facilitates sound broadcasting over a distance of up to 500 meters. Users have the flexibility to transmit messages in various ways: they can record their own voice, utilize text-to-speech functionality, or upload pre-existing audio files directly within the DJI Pilot 2 app.
DJI promotes the speaker as a vital tool for applications in public safety, emergency rescue operations, and even security management. A video shared by the company illustrates its practical use; one scene features the drone broadcasting clear instructions above a bustling road, stating, No parking. Please drive away. This highlights how the technology can assist in managing public spaces effectively.
In addition to the speaker, DJI has also unveiled the Zenmuse S1 spotlight, another accessory that enhances the functionality of the Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 300 RTK drones. The spotlight utilizes Laser Excited Phosphor (LEP) technology, which significantly enhances light penetration, making it ideal for low-light conditions. Users can toggle between low-beam and high-beam modes or use both simultaneously, achieving an impressive observation distance of up to 500 meters.

While these innovative accessories promise to elevate operational capabilities for public safety and security personnel, DJI has yet to disclose details regarding pricing or availability. Furthermore, the future of DJIs products in the United States remains uncertain as the company faces the looming threat of a potential ban. This situation raises questions about how emerging regulatory challenges might impact the availability of cutting-edge drone technology in key markets.
