Introduction
Autonomous drones are no longer futuristic concepts—they’re here, and they’re transforming how enterprises manage security, inspections, and monitoring. The DJI Dock, working seamlessly with the Matrice 30 (M30/M30T), offers a turnkey solution for fully automated, remote-controlled drone operations. By combining rugged hardware with intelligent software, the Dock allows teams to conduct round-the-clock missions with minimal human intervention.
What is the DJI Dock?
The DJI Dock is a weatherproof, self-contained station that supports the M30 series drones. Its key functions include:
-
Automated Charging: Recharges an M30 in about 25 minutes.
-
Secure Housing: Protects the drone in challenging outdoor environments (IP55 rated).
-
Remote Deployment: Enables fully autonomous takeoff and landing.
-
Data Sync: Uploads captured imagery and mission results automatically to the cloud.
Paired with DJI FlightHub 2, the Dock provides centralized management, enabling teams to plan, monitor, and review missions remotely.
Compatibility: Matrice 30 Dock Version
Not all drones fit inside the DJI Dock—it’s built specifically for the Matrice 30 Dock Version (M30 or M30T Dock Edition).
-
M30 Dock Version: Equipped with wide and zoom cameras, suitable for inspection and surveillance.
-
M30T Dock Version: Adds a thermal camera, making it ideal for public safety, security patrols, and emergency response.
This ensures organizations can choose the right balance between visual and thermal data, depending on their needs.
