Hawkeye Herelink Industrial Drone 4K Split Camera w/ HDMI & EIS 2.0

The split-camera design allows the module to simultaneously process two independent video streams. One high-bitrate stream is encoded for recording in 4K or other high-resolution formats, while a second, optimized low-latency stream is sent to the pilot's First-Person View (FPV) goggles or monitor. This ensures you capture cinematic-quality footage without compromising the real-time responsiveness needed for precise drone control during flight.

Connect the camera's power leads to your drone's main power distribution board or a regulated power source within its 5V to 24V DC operating range. For video, use the HDMI port to connect to an onboard DVR or HDMI recorder, and use the CVBS (composite video) output to connect to your analog FPV video transmitter. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the system to avoid signal loss during flight.

Yes, the integrated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi allows you to connect a smartphone or tablet to the camera. You can use a dedicated app to access a live video feed, change camera settings (like resolution and frame rate), start/stop recording, and capture photos remotely. Note that Wi-Fi latency is typically higher than a dedicated analog or digital FPV link, so it's best suited for monitoring rather than high-speed piloting.

The Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS 2.0) is typically enabled by default or via a setting in the camera's configuration menu, accessible through the Wi-Fi companion app or via buttons on the unit if available. The system uses the internal gyroscope data to digitally stabilize the video frame. For best results, ensure the camera is securely mounted to the drone's frame to minimize high-frequency vibrations that EIS cannot fully correct.

Yes, the Hawkeye Herelink is designed with compatibility for external GPS modules (sold separately). You would connect the GPS module to the designated serial communication pins on the camera's interface. Once connected and configured through the camera's software, the GPS data can be embedded into the video metadata or photo EXIF data, providing precise location and altitude information for mapping, inspection, and cinematography workflows.
