The DJI Dock 4 brings automatic battery swapping, remote mission management and Matrice 5TD imaging into one enterprise drone system. Built for recurring inspections, site monitoring and emergency response, it helps teams gather aerial information with shorter intervals between flights. Configure your deployment with Unmanned Canada.

A practical platform for organisations building a repeatable remote drone workflow.
Swap the aircraft battery while depleted batteries recharge inside the dock. DJI reports a landing-to-next-takeoff interval as short as 45 seconds under test conditions.
Plan missions, monitor live video and manage aircraft activity through a connected operations platform.
The Matrice 5TD combines rotating LiDAR, millimetre-wave radar and vision sensors to support navigation around complex infrastructure.
Detect 17 object types to support mission awareness. Available AI workflows depend on software, settings and configuration.
Build routine aerial inspections into your operating schedule and give response teams a clearer view of conditions on site.
Combine a broad visual overview with detailed inspection and thermal assessment.
Wide-angle, medium telephoto and telephoto cameras provide multiple perspectives. The telephoto camera offers a 252 mm equivalent focal length.
Inspect temperature patterns with the infrared camera. UHR mode provides enhanced 2560 × 2048 output.
Measure distances to support inspection and response workflows. Maximum ranging performance depends on the target and environment.
Full-colour night imaging and a near-infrared auxiliary light support observation after dark.

Installation Planning: Provide stable power and network access, suitable drainage and a surveyed ground-station location. DJI specifies upload and download bandwidth above 20 Mbps, with 40 Mbps or more recommended when no external devices are connected.
Scope the hardware, software and mission accessories together.
The supported aircraft for Dock 4, integrating visible and thermal imaging with obstacle-sensing systems.
Provides the system with video transmission, RTK base-station functionality and network connectivity.
Choose the software deployment and licensing appropriate to your operations and data requirements.
Discuss the DJI AL2D Spotlight and AS2D Speaker, including mounting and payload requirements.
Package Contents: The selected configuration and written quotation define the supplied equipment. Confirm the dock, aircraft, ground station, battery quantities, software licences, accessories and installation services before ordering.
Assess your site, airspace and intended missions before deployment. Automated operation does not itself authorise BVLOS flight. Eligible lower-risk BVLOS operations require Level 1 Complex pilot certification, operation under an RPAS Operator Certificate and an aircraft meeting the applicable safety requirements.
Contact Unmanned Canada for current pricing, lead times and a configuration tailored to your site. Include commissioning, team training, maintenance and available protection plans in your deployment discussion.
No. DJI Dock 4 supports the Matrice 5TD only.
No. The DJI O4 Ground Station is a required part of the system.
No. It measures the battery swap after the dock cover closes. DJI lists a complete landing-to-next-takeoff interval as short as 45 seconds under test conditions.
Inclusions depend on your selected configuration and quotation. Ask our team to itemise software licensing, site preparation, installation, commissioning and training.
Tell us where you plan to operate, what you need to capture and how often you need to fly. Our team can help define the equipment and deployment requirements.
*Manufacturer test results. Maximum flight time was measured without payload in windless conditions, at 15 m/s, from 100% to 0% battery. Actual missions require battery reserves. Swap and turnaround times vary with operating conditions.
Weather limits, battery conditioning and sensing limitations apply. UHR thermal output is enhanced; native resolution is listed separately. Specifications reviewed October 14, 2026.
