Enhanced Low-Light Operations: Night Mode, NI-R, and Smart Low Light

Night operations demand visibility far beyond what standard camera settings can provide. FlytBase now introduces three complementary low-light enhancement modes designed to maximize clarity, awareness, and evidence quality during nighttime missions.

Smart Low Light improves captured media, Night Mode delivers real-time full-color night vision, and NI-R Mode adds high-contrast infrared imaging for long-distance visibility. Together, these modes offer a powerful, flexible low-light toolset across DJI Dock systems.

Key Capabilities and Highlights

Smart Low Light (All Docks – Zoom Camera)

• Enhances captured photos and videos using intelligent multi-frame processing.

• Improves detail visibility during incident review and evidence documentation.

• Works independently of the live feed—enhancements apply only to saved media.

Night Mode (Dock 3 – Wide, Zoom)

• Provides real-time, full-color night vision with dramatically increased sensor sensitivity.

• Ideal for identifying subjects, vehicles, and infrastructure in low-light environments.

• Situational awareness in poorly lit or unlit areas

NI-R Mode (Dock 3 – Tele Camera, 7x+ Zoom)

• Enables high-contrast black-and-white infrared imaging by removing the IR-Cut filter.

• Reveals distant subjects not easily visible with Night Mode alone.

• Designed for large-area surveillance, perimeter monitoring, and long-distance tracking.
