The processor, camera, WarDragon system, and network DragonVision requires, why the processor and camera models are fixed, and what to check before ordering. Licensing is covered in DragonVision licenses and camera streams.
What DragonVision requires
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Processor | NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB. No other model is supported |
| Camera | Axis Q6225-LE PTZ camera. No other camera is supported |
| WarDragon system | WarDragon Pro or Elite in Drop-In or Enclosure configuration. WarDragon Mobile is not supported |
| Network | Camera, processor, and WarDragon system on the same local network |
Important The processor and camera models are hard requirements, not recommendations. A substitute that looks equivalent on paper is still unsupported.
The processor
The DragonVision processor runs the detection engine on the camera’s video. It is an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB, and that exact model is required. Other Jetson modules, including other Orin NX memory sizes, are not supported.
The DragonVision Module (WD-VIS-MOD) and DragonVision Complete (WD-VIS-CMP) include the processor, so there is nothing to source. The License-only option (WD-VIS-LIC) assumes you already own an Orin NX 16GB. If you are supplying your own, confirm the exact model before ordering, and name it on the purchase order.
The camera
DragonVision is validated on one camera, the Axis Q6225-LE PTZ. Other cameras significantly reduce detection performance and are not supported. Thermal and dual-sensor cameras are not supported.
The DragonVision Camera Kit (WD-VIS-CAM) includes the Q6225-LE, a 90W PoE injector that powers the camera over its network cable, and a mount and pendant assembly. If you already own a Q6225-LE, you can use it in place of the Camera Kit.
The network
The camera connects to the DragonVision processor directly over the local network. The camera, the processor, and the WarDragon system must all be on the same local network.
Note Axis Cloud Connect is not required. DragonVision does not need a cloud account to reach the camera.
What the camera can see
DragonVision sees what the camera can see. An aircraft outside the camera’s field of view or beyond its optical reach will not be detected visually, even when WarDragon detects its radio link. Camera placement, height, and line of sight matter as much as they do for antennas.
Before you order
- The WarDragon system is a Pro or Elite in Drop-In or Enclosure configuration, not Mobile
- Any processor you supply is an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB
- Any camera you supply is an Axis Q6225-LE
- The camera, processor, and WarDragon system will share one local network
- You know how many cameras the site needs. Each camera needs its own license
If a site needs more than one camera, say so when you request a quote so the processors and licenses are configured together.
