30× Zoom, Thermal Imaging and Laser Ranging
The SGU-HS1-M30A integrates a 30× optical zoom visible-light camera, an 18 mm thermal camera and a laser rangefinder on a three-axis stabilized UAV gimbal. Its onboard SoC includes a neural-network engine and AI algorithms for target detection and tracking in visible-light and thermal images. Designed for energy inspection, security monitoring and forestry applications, it supports single-camera, side-by-side and picture-in-picture viewing.

Interface Versions
-
SGU-HS1-M30A: standard interface; this listing describes the standard-interface model.
-
SGU-HS1-M30A-ZY: version designed for the Ziyan F15, listed separately in the manual. Confirm availability and compatibility before ordering.
The manual’s 30-pin wiring definitions apply only to the standard-interface SGU-HS1-M30A. The ZY version requires the corresponding aircraft interface documentation.
30-Pin Signal Wiring Table
For the standard-interface SGU-HS1-M30A only. For SGU-HS1-M30A-ZY, refer to the Ziyan aircraft interface documentation. Numbers correspond to the labels on the cable harness. Signal identifiers are retained exactly as printed in the manual.

Integration and Operation
Confirm aircraft compatibility, mounting interface and input voltage with the supplier before installation or applying power. Communication protocol documentation and host-computer tools are available from the supplier on request. Specifications are supplied by the manufacturer.
Laser Safety and Care
Do not look directly into the laser when ranging is enabled. Follow the supplied operating instructions. The manual prohibits use in rain, snow and sandstorms. Do not immerse or directly rinse the equipment. Power down before removing the payload, clean the optical surfaces with suitable lens-cleaning materials and store the unit securely in its case.
