DJI Zenmuse H20N – Night Vision Camera + Dual Thermal + LRF (M300/M350)
DJI Zenmuse H20N is a night vision camera for DJI Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK drones. It combines four modules: a 2 MP night vision camera (0 lux), a 4 MP zoom camera (20× optical, 128× digital), dual 640×512 thermal imaging, and a 1200 m laser rangefinder. Synchronized IR + NV zoom — simultaneous scaling of both images.

Camera System
| Night Vision Camera | 1/2.7" CMOS, 2 MP, FOV 73.6°, focal length 4.5 mm Operates from 0 lux — total darkness |
|---|---|
| Zoom Camera | 1/1.8" CMOS, 4 MP, 20× optical / 128× digital Focal length 6.8–119.9 mm (equiv. 32.7–574.5 mm) Aperture f/2.8–f/11 (day) / f/1.6–f/11 (night) |
| Thermal Imaging (×2) | 640×512, VOx (uncooled microbolometer) 2× and 8× zoom (up to 32× total) Wide-angle + tele camera |
| Laser Rangefinder | Range 3–1200 m, 905 nm Accuracy ±(0.2 m + 0.15%) |
Synchronized Zoom
The H20N's Link Zoom function allows simultaneous scaling of the night vision camera and thermal camera images — the operator sees both images from the same perspective without manual alignment. Split-screen mode (IR + NV side-by-side).
Applications
- Night SAR operations — detecting people with thermal imaging at 0 lux

FAQ
What is the difference between night vision and thermal imaging?
Night vision amplifies minimal traces of visible light — providing a natural image in near-total darkness. Thermal imaging detects thermal radiation — it works without any light, but shows temperature differences, not colors. The H20N has both systems simultaneously.
Why two thermal cameras?
A wide-angle camera (2×) provides a broad view of the scene for quick detection. A tele camera (8×, up to 32× total) allows precise identification of the target from a long distance — without having to approach the drone.
