Description

Autel EVO Max 4N: 0.0001 LUX Starlight Vision for Night Operations and Public Safety

The Autel EVO Max 4N is a night operations drone built around a Starlight Vision camera capable of resolving clear imagery at light levels as low as 0.0001 LUX, well beyond the limits of conventional thermal sensors when targets and surroundings share similar temperatures. Combined with a 640x512 thermal camera, a 50MP wide-angle camera, and a laser rangefinder accurate to within centimeters, the EVO Max 4N delivers four distinct ways to see a scene without swapping payloads between mission types.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Starlight Vision camera: resolves clear imagery at 0.0001 LUX independent of thermal differentials.
  • 5 km detection range: identifies light sources like phones or vehicle lights at night.
  • Quad-sensor payload: Starlight Vision, wide-angle, thermal, and laser rangefinder in one gimbal.
  • 720° obstacle avoidance: binocular vision and millimeter-wave radar enable all-weather sensing.
  • A-Mesh networking: supports zonal operations, relay extension, and synchronized dual-controller missions.
  • Glass penetration capability: resolves target details through windows and vehicle glass at night.
  • Laser rangefinder: supports ground team target positioning via night vision goggle coordination.
  • 15 km transmission range: maintains stable control link across extended operational distances.
  • 42-minute max flight time: hot-swappable batteries extend coverage without frequent downtime.
  • IP43-rated protection: supports reliable operation in dust and light rain conditions.

Built on Autel Autonomy's autonomous flight technology, the EVO Max 4N supports global path planning, 3D scene reconstruction, and reliable return-to-home capability in complex environments. A-Mesh networking connects multiple aircraft and ground terminals without centralized infrastructure, while SLAM-based visual navigation keeps the platform stable when GPS signals are weak or obstructed.

One Camera Doesn't Have to Mean One Compromise

Most night vision options force a tradeoff: thermal sensors lose contrast when temperatures converge, while active illumination gives away your position. The EVO Max 4N sidesteps both. Its Starlight Vision camera resolves usable detail at 0.0001 LUX without depending on heat differentials, and because it doesn't rely on emitted light, it keeps a lower signature than infrared-based systems during covert work.

Pair that with a wide-angle camera for situational context, a thermal sensor for the cases where heat detection still matters most, and a laser rangefinder for distance-accurate target marking, and operators get four tools that cover different gaps rather than one camera stretched across every scenario.

  • EVO Max Series Multi-Charger: simultaneous multi-battery charging accessory (sold separately).
  • EVO Nest: automated docking and monitoring platform for unattended deployment (sold separately).
  • RTK Module: optional accessory for centimeter-level positioning accuracy (sold separately).

Applications and Use Cases

  • Law enforcement units: Starlight Vision identifies subjects and vehicles in low-light field conditions.
  • Security patrol teams: covert night surveillance with reduced detection risk compared to infrared illumination.
  • Emergency search and rescue crews: 5 km detection range locates light sources across large search areas.
  • Firefighting and rescue operations: see-through-glass capability assesses structures before entry decisions.
  • Border and perimeter security: A-Mesh relay operations extend coverage across remote or signal-poor terrain.
  • Geographical survey teams: laser rangefinder and wide-angle camera capture precise distance and terrain data.
  • Tactical team coordination: laser rangefinder enables precise target marking for night vision-equipped ground units.

The EVO Max 4N exists for operators who need to see clearly after dark without relying on thermal differentials or active illumination that compromises stealth. With a quad-sensor payload, 720° obstacle avoidance, and A-Mesh networking, this platform delivers decision-grade visibility for extended night operations.

At DSLRPros, every Autel unit is evaluated by real-world operators, not just bench-tested. We've worked with police, fire, and disaster response teams across the U.S. on bundle configuration, mission planning, and FAA Part 107 compliance support.

Frequently Asked Questions

More questions? Speak with an Expert.

What sensors are included in the EVO Max 4N camera payload?

The Fusion 4N payload integrates four sensors in a single gimbal: a 2.3MP Starlight Vision camera rated to 0.0001 LUX, a 50MP wide-angle camera, a 640x512 thermal camera with a range of -4°F to 1022°F, and a laser rangefinder measuring up to 1200 meters. This combination supports night surveillance, target positioning, and tactical coordination in a single deployment.

Can the EVO Max 4N fly without GPS?

Yes. It uses visual-inertial SLAM and radar-based perception to maintain position indoors, underground, or in areas with GPS spoofing or jamming.

What is the transmission range of the EVO Max 4N?

The EVO Max 4N uses Autel SkyLink 3.0 to achieve a maximum transmission distance of 15 km under FCC regulations, paired with the Autel Smart Controller V3. This supports stable video and telemetry links across extended-distance night operations and search areas.

What is A-Mesh networking and how does it work?

A-Mesh enables drone-to-drone communication, connection, and collaboration without relying on centralized network infrastructure. It supports zonal operations through dual-controller missions with synchronized live feed and target recognition, as well as relay operations where one aircraft extends signal coverage for another in mountainous or remote areas with weak signal conditions.

How long does the EVO Max 4N fly on a single battery?

The EVO Max 4N delivers up to 42 minutes of flight time using the included hot-swappable Intelligent Flight Battery. Additional batteries and a multi-charger are available separately for extended field rotations without returning to base.

How is the Starlight Vision camera different from a thermal camera?

Thermal cameras rely on temperature differences between a target and its surroundings, which makes detection difficult right after sunset or when body and ground temperatures are similar. The Starlight Vision camera captures detail at light levels as low as 0.0001 LUX and is not restricted by lighting conditions or temperature differences, giving operators consistent imagery where thermal sensors lose effectiveness.

What does the standard EVO Max 4N bundle include?

The standard bundle includes the EVO Max 4N aircraft, Fusion 4N camera and gimbal, an Intelligent Flight Battery, gimbal cover, battery charger and power cable, spare propellers, an Autel Smart Controller V3 with lanyard, cover, and spare joysticks, an RC charger and charging cable, a rugged carrying case, a 64GB MicroSD card, a screwdriver, a data cable, and printed documentation.

How far can the EVO Max 4N detect targets at night?

The Starlight Vision camera can detect light sources such as cellphones or vehicle headlights from 5 km away in dark, open environments. This supports long-range, covert aerial reconnaissance without relying on active illumination, which helps reduce the risk of detection compared to infrared or laser-based night vision systems.
