It is equipped with FPV (First Person View) piloting and is primarily used for urban firefighting, especially effective for high-rise residential buildings. The drone is equipped with 6-hole window-breaking fire suppression bombs that can penetrate double-layer 5-meter tempered glass and release delayed self-detonating dry powder to extinguish fires, with crosshair targeting for precision. Additionally, it can be optionally equipped with a forest firefighting module.
3WWDZF8-50DS
This heavy payload drone can carry two 25-liter fire suppression bombs simultaneously, making it highly effective for large-scale fires. Its substantial carrying capacity allows it to be used as a transport drone for delivering supplies during forest fire rescue operations, significantly improving rescue efficiency. Equipped with FPV (First Person View) piloting, this drone is primarily used for fire inspection and firefighting missions. It features crosshair targeting for accurately aiming at the fire source center, allowing for effective suppression and extinguishing of fires by dropping fire suppression bombs.
Inspection and Patrol Drone
ZF450
The ZF450 inspection drone is a compact and highly maneuverable drone equipped with a dual-axis camera that provides real-time image and data transmission. It can carry and drop objects weighing up to 500 grams from high altitudes. This drone supports autonomous takeoff, waypoint navigation, target point hovering for mission snapshots, self-initiated return to home, and automatic landing. It is ideal for routine patrols in residential areas and industrial parks and can broadcast messages to the ground in real-time.

Conclusion
To summarize, conducting fire-fighting, detection and inspection missions without the use of drones can present a number of dangers to the individuals involved, and it can be difficult to search a very large area in a short period of time. When drones are used for these missions, many of these challenges can be averted.
Drones, such as the ZF450, are ideal for inspection and patrol operations thanks to its thermal capabilities, as well as it’s obstacle avoidance, enabling it to access hard-to-reach locations without the risk of crashing and venture into dangerous environments so people do not have to—unless absolutely necessary.
