As maritime low-altitude security threats intensify, there is an increasing demand for long-range, all-weather, and highly stable anti-drone reconnaissance and detection systems on vessels. The Kaimorui KC94A0M high-definition ultra-long-focus camera module, paired with the HK-100C multifunctional control board, is specifically designed for complex naval environments to establish a comprehensive, intelligent early-warning, and rapid-response maritime low-altitude defense system.

1.Ultra-long-range, comprehensive reconnaissance; early detection and early warning of low-altitude threats

The KC94A0M Kamero system features a 4-megapixel line-scanning CMOS sensor with a maximum resolution of 2560×1440, paired with a 15mm–1000mm ultra-long focal length optical lens offering a horizontal field of view ranging from 29.8° to 0.3°. It enables seamless transitions between wide-angle surveillance and long-range targeting, allowing precise detection of low-altitude, slow-moving targets over several kilometers, thereby providing critical response time for maritime anti-drone operations. The system employs an ICR infrared filter for automatic switching, delivering a minimum color illumination of 0.005 lux@F3.0 and 0.0005 lux@F1.5 in black-and-white conditions, ensuring clear imaging even in low-light nighttime environments and effectively eliminating maritime night surveillance blind spots. With 120dB ultra-wide dynamic range and 3D digital noise reduction, it effectively suppresses sea surface glare, deck reflections, and wave interference, preserving target contours and details under backlit or glare conditions while accurately distinguishing drones from birds and cloud interference, significantly reducing misidentification rates. Equipped with optical fog-penetrating technology, it withstands marine salt spray, moisture, and dust, ensuring clear, high-definition long-range target visualization even in harsh sea conditions and providing reliable visual evidence for early warning systems.

2.Ship-class image stabilization and anti-interference capabilities ensure that the target remains locked during rough seas without deviation.

Naval vessels face multiple challenges during navigation and mooring, including hull vibrations, deck thermal currents, and strong wind disturbances. The KC94A0M employs dual technologies—optical image stabilization and thermal protection—to minimize image shaking caused by airflow disturbances, delivering stable imaging even at high speeds and in rough seas, ensuring continuous and precise tracking of low-altitude drones. Its rapid and accurate focusing capabilities support automatic, semi-automatic, and manual focusing modes, along with area focusing and exposure control, enabling precise identification of key drone components such as the fuselage and rotors for effective detection, tracking, and countermeasures. With an electronic shutter speed range of 1/1 to 1/30,000 seconds, it excels at capturing fast-moving targets, while the 12x digital zoom ensures clear visibility from distant distances. Operating stably across a wide temperature range of-10°C to 60°C, the device consumes 16 W in static mode and 60 W in dynamic mode, meeting prolonged operational demands on vessels. It remains reliable in high-temperature, high-humidity, and salt spray environments, making it ideal for round-the-clock security applications on military ships, law enforcement vessels, and ocean-going ships.

3.Comprehensive Intelligent Detection with Instant Alert Response to Abnormal Intrusions

The KC94A0M incorporates a multi-dimensional Smart Detection Algorithm, supporting over ten intelligent analysis functions including area intrusion detection, line crossing detection, rapid motion detection, loitering detection, and video occlusion detection. It covers typical threat scenarios such as low-altitude drone attacks, near-surface flight, and swarm intrusions, triggering immediate alarms upon detecting suspicious targets and enabling an upgrade from passive monitoring to proactive early warning. The device supports H.264/H.265 dual-compression encoding, significantly reducing bitrate to conserve bandwidth and storage resources while prioritizing image quality for key targets without compromising transmission efficiency. It supports up to eight privacy masking layers, ideal for securing sensitive areas on vessels; features power-off memory retention and heartbeat functionality for rapid self-recovery. Available in multiple day/night modes—including automatic, color, black-and-white, alarm-triggered, and timed modes—with ICR (Image Color Recognition) enabling automatic color-to-black conversion for round-the-clock environmental adaptation and continuous protection of vessel safety at low altitudes.

4.Seamless collaboration across all interfaces to establish an integrated ship countermeasure system

The HK-100C multifunctional control panel is fully compatible with the KC94A0M and supports RS485, RS232-TTL command transmission, network output, alarm input/output, audio input/output, and CVBS output. It is compatible with control protocols such as SONY VISCA, PELCO-P, and PELCO-D, enabling rapid integration with Hikvision DS-2ZMN series cameras and various domestic camera models, thereby reducing system modification complexity and enhancing compatibility. Measuring only 42mm × 42mm with a positioning hole of 38mm × 38mm, the HK-100C is compact and easily installable in confined spaces like masts, cockpits, and pan-tilt units, adapting to diverse ship cabin layouts. It supports up to 20 simultaneous preview channels, 32 user permission levels, HTTPS encryption, MAC address binding, and IEEE 802.1x network access control, ensuring secure data transmission and facilitating the establishment of a comprehensive anti-drone system with multi-sensor integration, full-domain coordination, and efficient response capabilities.
