Seeker-30 TIRM
Introduction
Seeker-30 TIRM is a dual-sensor gimbal camera with a laser rangefinder, which integrates a 30x optical zoom camera, a 640*480 thermal camera, and a 3000m laser rangefinder.
The 3-axis gimbal developed based on FOC technology features high stability, accuracy, and sensitivity. The image is very stable even at 30 times optical zoom.
The gimbal’s speed is adjustable, fast speed mode is used for the small zooming range, which makes the gimbal control sensitive and quick; low-speed mode is used for the large zooming range, which will enable you to target the object more accurately. The high-precision laser rangefinder can accurately analyze the GPS location and distance of the object within 3000 meters, the information will display on-screen automatically. SEEKER-30 TIRM supports dual sensors object tracking. The tracking speed is up to 32 pixels/frame, the object size range is from 32*32 pixels to 128*128 pixels. Seeker-30 TIRM 3-axis gimbal can be controlled via PWM, Sbus, TCP, and serial port.
Target Tracking
- The built-in normalized cross-correlation tracking algorithm, combined with the target lost recapture algorithm, realizes the stable tracking of the target; Supports the user to display custom characters, adaptive gate, cross wire, and tracking information display.

RXIS connected to TXD. External serial port GND is connected to control box GND.
The 1-way serial port (TTL 3.3V) output of the digital transmission station directly controls the gimbal and camera. The movements of the gimbal include：
- Yaw control and angle output, pitch control and angle output, speed the setting, angle setting, stop, return to center, etc.;
- Camera actions include: zoom, focus, record, stop recording, take a photo, recording/shooting switch, multiple query output, etc.
- The control box does not respond when receiving commands, and you need to enter the command to query the gimbal camera, and automatically focus when taking pictures or videos.
- Serial port 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, HEX
