DJI Dock 4

Always There, Always Ready

Your drone, ready around the clock. DJI Dock 4 is DJI’s first dock with battery swapping, putting a fresh battery into the Matrice 5TD in 25 seconds and sending it straight back out. No pilot on site, no 30-minute recharge, no gaps in coverage.

DJI Dock 4
  • Built for site security, infrastructure inspection, emergency response and mining, DJI Dock 4 works as one connected system.
  • The Matrice 5TD sees day and night with wide, telephoto and thermal cameras, the O4 Ground Station extends coverage to complex sites, and DJI FlightHub 2 lets your team plan, monitor and act on every flight from anywhere.

Key Features
DJI Dock 4

Ready in Seconds for Rapid Response

Instant Launch

Launches the moment a command is issued, with no pilot on site. Night and holiday emergencies get a response in seconds.

21 m/s Rapid Arrival

Flies directly to the scene regardless of traffic (FlyTo tasks; 15 m/s in other modes).

Task Relay

Two aircraft auto-rotate, one flying and one on standby, for uninterrupted situational awareness.

DJI Dock 4

Swap, Relay, Sustain

25-Second Battery Swap

Fully automatic battery swapping, with the previous flight’s data transferred during the swap.

Extended Endurance

A single flight lasts up to 59 minutes, covering more area in one takeoff.

Wide Operating Temperature

Operates from -40 °C to 50 °C, preheating batteries in the cold and using air conditioning in the heat.

DJI Dock 4

Live From the Scene, Remote Yet Accurate

Low-Latency Livestream

Drone-to-cloud latency of about 160 ms, around 43% lower than the previous generation.

Anti-Interference Transmission

Dual 4G modules, sub-2G transmission and an elevated O4 Ground Station keep the link stable in obstructed areas.

Fast Data Transfer

Flight data offloads to the dock over high-speed Wi-Fi at up to 80 MB/s during the battery swap.

DJI Dock 4

Near and Far, Day and Night

11× Telephoto

252 mm equivalent focal length reads signs from 400 m and spots bolt-level defects at 100 m.

Infrared and Fusion Mode

1280×1024 thermal (2560×2048 UHR), with visible and infrared feeds fused into one frame.

Full-Colour Night Vision

Captures 4K colour images at night without switching on the spotlight.

3 km Laser Ranging

Overlays range data and PinPoint coordinates on the live feed.

Survey-Grade Mapping

Aerial survey accuracy up to 10 cm at 12 MP, so one drone covers inspection, security and survey.

DJI Dock 4

More Payloads, More Flexibility

450 g Max Payload

Three mounting positions that can be used simultaneously.

Speaker, Spotlight and Parachute Combo

Aerial voice guidance and layered lighting for nighttime search operations.

Built-In Warning Light

Custom colours and flash patterns, with no additional installation.

DJI Dock 4

Robust Protection for Reliable Flight

Wire-Level Obstacle Sensing

Rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar and low-light fisheye sensors detect thin obstacles such as powerlines, even at night.

Parachute

Independent power, auto or manual deployment, and an FTS compliant with EU C5/C6.

Multi-Drone Sensing and Warning

Built-in ADS-B and RID receiver warns of nearby aircraft and overlays their tracks on the map.

High-Wind Descent RTH

Operates in winds up to 12 m/s and descends to return safely if winds spike.

DJI Dock 4

Flexible Deployment for Complex Sites

Near High-Rise Buildings

Installing the O4 Ground Station on a rooftop improves signal quality for deployment near tall structures.

Multi-Station Roaming

The drone switches seamlessly between multiple ground stations to eliminate coverage blind spots.

On Vehicles (Coming Soon)

Take off while the vehicle is parked and land at the next stop. Expected H1 2027.

DJI Dock 4

AI-Powered Workflow for Intelligent Operations

Onboard Detection

Real-time detection of 17 object types, plus infrared hotspot detection and third-party AI models.

Search by Text or Image

The multimodal LLM in Virtual Cockpit finds almost any object from a text or image prompt.

From Alert to Action

Sends SMS, email or platform alerts and triggers snapshots, recording or tracking automatically.

FlightHub 2 Copilot

Describe flight commands, routes or scheduled tasks in natural language and Copilot turns them into drone commands.

AI Reports in Minutes

Compares new data with historical aerial photos, flags changes and exports a report.

DJI Dock 4

Integrated Software, Secure by Design

DJI FlightHub 2

One cloud platform for deployment, remote control, routes, AI detection and maintenance, available as public cloud, on-premises or all-in-one.

Open Integration

OpenAPI and code-free FlightHub Sync connect third-party platforms.

One-Tap Dispatch

Send a task from the DJI Enterprise app to wake the drone and dispatch it in seconds.

Data Protection

TLS 1.2+ and AES-256 encryption from data collection through transmission and storage.

Custom Flight Zones

Enforced by the flight controller to keep the drone within its authorised area.
