Important: The DJI Dock 4 and DJI Care Enterprise Plus must be purchased together.

Overview

The DJI Dock 4 is an intelligent autonomous drone docking station designed for continuous, remote drone operations. Built for security, infrastructure inspections and emergency response, it enables automated missions with minimal on-site intervention.

Featuring DJI’s fully automatic 25-second battery-swapping system and compatibility with the Matrice 5TD, the Dock 4 supports efficient, reliable operations across critical infrastructure, urban environments and remote locations. Combined with advanced obstacle detection, multi-sensor imaging and AI-powered workflows, it provides a comprehensive solution for automated aerial monitoring and inspection.

Key Features

• 25-Second Automatic Battery Swapping: Enables near-continuous flight operations through fully automated battery replacement without manual intervention.
• Advanced Matrice 5TD Imaging: Combines an 11× telephoto camera, 1280 × 1024 thermal imaging, full-colour 4K night vision and 3 km laser ranging in one aircraft.
• Advanced Obstacle Detection: Three-directional mmWave radar, rotating LiDAR and six-directional vision sensing support precise obstacle detection, including thin obstacles such as powerlines.
• Extended Flight Endurance: Up to 59 minutes of flight time per sortie, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 50°C.
• Onboard AI Detection: Identifies 17 object types in real time, with text- and image-based object searches through the Virtual Cockpit.
• O4 Ground Station: Supports elevated installations, including rooftop deployments near high-rise buildings, with multi-station roaming to help reduce signal blind spots.
• DJI FlightHub 2 Integration: Enables automated mission workflows, AI-powered post-processing, change detection and natural-language drone commands through Copilot.

Applications and Use Cases

• Automated Security: Continuous surveillance and emergency response without requiring a pilot to remain on-site.
• Critical Infrastructure Inspections: Monitoring powerlines, substations and industrial facilities, including nighttime inspections.
• Emergency Response: Supports rapid aerial assessment and situational awareness in remote or difficult-to-access locations.
• Facility Monitoring: AI-powered change detection helps identify structural changes, damage and unauthorised developments.
• Urban Surveying and Digital Twins: Automated aerial data collection, modelling and analysis for ongoing site monitoring.

Autonomous Operations

The DJI Dock 4 combines automated docking, battery management, intelligent flight capabilities and cloud-based mission control to support reliable remote drone operations. Integrated with the Matrice 5TD and DJI FlightHub 2, it provides an end-to-end platform for scheduled inspections, continuous monitoring and automated operational workflows.
