FSM:UAV-PAY – Payload Camera Module for UAVs and Drones in Inspection and Mapping

FSM:UAV-PAY – High-Resolution UAV Payload Camera Module

The FSM:UAV-PAY is tailored for drone manufacturers and system integrators who demand high-resolution, precision imaging for payload applications like infrastructure inspection, surveying, and agricultural monitoring. The camera module is integrated with advanced technology to support demanding inspection and mapping tasks.

With the Sony IMX678C 8 MP Rolling Shutter, 4K sensor, it delivers sharp, detailed imagery with excellent low-light sensitivity and a normal 100° horizontal field of view, enabling high ground sampling distance accuracy. This makes the module particularly suited for advanced imaging for inspection & mapping applications.

Built on the FRAMOS FSM:GO platform, it integrates efficiently with embedded AI compute units such as NVIDIA Jetson and NXP i.MX, scaling smoothly from prototyping to production deployments. The module is designed for seamless integration into UAV systems and is compatible with multiple sensors for advanced data collection.
