Description
A practical visual-monitoring package for farmers checking cattle, sheep and pasture. The DJI Matrice 4E combines wide-angle and zoom cameras with an AS1 speaker for ground-team communication, an AL1 spotlight for directed illumination, and three additional batteries for battery changes between flights.

Farm applications
- Observe cattle and sheep in open pasture and review their position using live visual imagery.

- Use the AL1 spotlight for targeted visual checks where conditions and flight permissions allow.
Important operating limits
The Matrice 4E has no thermal camera. Its spotlight illuminates a scene; it does not provide heat-based detection. This is primarily a daytime visual-monitoring package, not a promise of finding every animal after dark. Animals concealed by trees, hedges, buildings or terrain may not be visible. This package does not include automatic livestock counting, autonomous herding, veterinary diagnosis, a Dock or a portable power station.
Use gradual, low-disturbance observation and stop if livestock become distressed. Do not fly close to animals or direct intense light at their eyes. The Matrice 4 series is not waterproof. Accessories affect endurance; DJI warns that obstacle avoidance is disabled when the AL1 spotlight is switched on. Follow the manual, applicable flight rules and pilot competency requirements.
Frequently asked questions
How many batteries will I receive?
Four in total: the battery in the standard aircraft kit and three additional batteries. Spare batteries extend the number of separate flights, not the duration of one flight.
Can it see sheep at night?
It can capture illuminated visual scenes, but it has no thermal camera. If locating animal heat signatures in darkness is a core requirement, discuss a thermal-camera configuration with Irish Drone.
Can the speaker and spotlight be used together?
Yes. DJI supports combined AS1 and AL1 use on Matrice 4 series aircraft when mounted and configured correctly.
Will it automatically move or count my livestock?
No such capability is included or guaranteed. The pilot and farm staff remain responsible for observation, animal welfare and decisions on the ground.
