With the rapid growth of the low-altitude economy, unauthorized low-altitude drone flights and intrusions by rogue UAVs into airports, industrial parks, border zones and power stations have become frequent security challenges. Anti-drone systems have clear core requirements for video imaging: long-range detection, clear night-time vision, zero-latency signal output and easy system integration.
It makes solid technical sense for the anti-drone industry to adopt the combined solution of Sony FCB-EV9500L plus a USB3.0 Video Capture Interface Board.
As Sony’s 30× enhanced optical zoom camera block, the FCB-EV9500L perfectly meets low-altitude detection requirements in optics, photosensitivity and image processing, serving as the foundational core of the complete solution.
1. 30× Enhanced Optical Zoom for Accurate Long Range Target Identification
Equipped with a 6.5-162.5mm lens and 30× optical zoom, the Sony FCB-EV9500L enables wide-angle rapid scanning across the airspace. After zooming in, it quickly auto-focuses to lock onto tiny drones. It can clearly outline drone fuselages at distances of several hundred meters and distinguish drones from birds and balloons, lowering false-alarm rates of the system.
Thanks to its internal zoom design, the center of gravity remains unchanged throughout zoom operations. The gimbal will not lose balance during high-speed rotation, with minimal optical-axis shift. Target tracking stays stable over long distances, greatly improving the precision of opto-electronic tracking gimbals.
2. 1/1.8 inch STARVIS Large Image Sensor for Round the Clock Night time Operation
The Sony FCB-EV9500L adopts a 1/1.8 inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor. Its minimum illumination reaches 0.009Lux in colour mode and as low as 0.00008Lux in ICR monochrome mode?, supporting non-stop day-and-night detection for anti-drone systems.
Built-in features including wide dynamic range, 2D+3D noise reduction and strong-light suppression handle backlight, intense glare and dawn-dusk lighting transitions. Image noise is suppressed and targets remain distinguishable against backgrounds under harsh weather conditions.
3. LVDS Output & VISCA Protocol for Barrier-Free Development
The Sony FCB-EV9500L supports LVDS signal and 1080P60 video output. Its VISCA control protocol is publicly available free of charge. Zoom, white balance, day-night switching and other functions can be controlled via serial commands, lowering barriers for secondary development. It is compatible with all types of small, medium and large size opto-electronic turrets and vehicle-mounted countermeasure base stations.
The Sony FCB-EV9500L camera block cannot be directly connected to industrial hosts on its own. Boasting high-speed bandwidth, real-time transmission and simple integration, the USB3.0 Video Capture Interface Board fills the transmission gap for anti-drone systems.
1. 5Gbps High Speed Bandwidth for Lossless Low-Latency Transmission
Designed for the 1080P@60 high-definition LVDS signal from Sony FCB-EV9500L, this USB3.0 Video Capture Interface Board features a standard USB3.0 port with peak bandwidth up to 5Gbps[2]. It forwards video streams losslessly and delivers real-time video with low latency.
2. Integrated TTL Virtual Serial Port: One Cable for Video and Camera Control
The USB3.0 Video Capture Interface Board integrates a TTL virtual serial port. A single USB Type-C cable accomplishes two core tasks:
① Real-time acquisition and transmission of high-definition video streams;
② Issuing control commands for zoom, exposure and gimbal linkage.
No extra serial adapters or multi-layer conversion cables are required. This reduces potential signal interference points, enhances overall system stability and simplifies motion detection workflows.
3. Driver Free Across Systems, Compatible with Industrial PC and Servers
Driver free recognition is supported for mainstream operating systems including Windows, Linux and Mac. It works with industrial hosts, edge computing boxes and servers commonly deployed in anti-drone projects. No repeated driver installation is needed for on-site commissioning and batch equipment calibration. It improves deployment efficiency for field sites and machine rooms, and suits mass roll-out for tower-mounted and vehicle-mounted mobile counter-UAV devices.
1. Opto-electronic tracking turrets for airport low-altitude security
2. Fixed anti-drone detection base stations for borders, ports, power stations and industrial premises
3. Vehicle-mounted mobile countermeasure equipment and opto-electronic systems for emergency command vehicles
4. Low-altitude security early-warning platforms for parks, stadiums and prisons
The core competitiveness of low-altitude anti-drone systems lies in long-range sharp imaging, real-time low-latency transmission and stable camera module linkage. The Sony FCB-EV9500L addresses imaging challenges with its 30× enhanced optical zoom, star-level night vision and wide dynamic range. Paired with the USB3.0 Video Capture Interface Board which unifies transmission and control links, it enables sharp target capture and real-time streaming for anti-drone systems.
Q: What 4K vision solution would you recommend for anti-drone systems?
A: You may select Sony FCB-ER9500 together with the 4KP60 HDMI encoding & control board for 4K/60P video output.
