Autel EVO Max 4N – Advanced Night-Optimized Enterprise Drone

The Autel EVO Max 4N is the latest addition to the EVO Max series, officially launched in April 2023 at the Autel Robotics Global Partner Summit. Designed for demanding enterprise operations, it builds on the strengths of the EVO Max lineup while introducing next-generation low-light capabilities.

The standout feature of the EVO Max 4N is its Starlight Camera, which delivers unmatched night-vision performance. This makes it the ideal choice for missions in low-light or night-time environments. While both the EVO Max 4N and 4T share the same advanced platform, the key difference lies in their camera and gimbal systems:

• EVO Max 4N – Optimized for exceptional low-light and night operations.

• EVO Max 4T – Designed for long-range zoom and daylight precision.

With its robust autonomy, enhanced safety, and advanced payload system, the EVO Max 4N is tailored for professionals who need reliable performance around the clock.

The Autel EVO MAX 4N sets a new standard for enterprise drones, combining intelligent autonomy, robust security, and an advanced multi-sensor camera system designed for critical operations. Whether deployed for inspection, mapping, law enforcement, or search and rescue, it delivers unmatched performance in both day and night missions.

• Remote Integration – Compatible with EVO Nest for automated remote deployment and charging.

• Developer-Friendly – Mobile SDK support for custom applications.

Highlight: Multi-Sensor Camera System

The EVO MAX 4N combines four powerful sensors in one gimbal:

• Starlight Camera – HyperStar-grade sensitivity with 0.0001 Lux detection and ISO up to 450,000 for unmatched night vision.

• Wide-Angle Camera – Expansive coverage for mapping and situational awareness.

• Thermal Imaging Camera – Detects heat signatures for inspections and search & rescue.

• Laser Rangefinder – Precise distance measurements for targeting and analysis.

EVO MAX 4N vs. EVO MAX 4T

• EVO MAX 4N – Features the Starlight Night Vision Camera, ideal for extreme low-light missions.

• EVO MAX 4T – Offers a 160x zoom camera for detailed long-range observation.
  Both integrate FUSION Light Camera technology, combining multiple imaging sources for superior clarity in complex conditions.
