5.Description from Manufacturer: More Performance for First Responders, Law Enforcement, Security: The DJI Mavic 2
Enterprise UAV performs many tasks demanded by first
responders, including law enforcement personnel, firefighters, and search-and-rescue operations, and by security teams. And it's affordable, so it doesn't strain your budget. Capable of flying in darkness and shooting nighttime imagery, the Mavic 2 Enterprise costs far less than an infrared camera-equipped quadcopter.
Firefighters can use Mavic 2 Enterprise to assess conditions in natural and urban settings. If power is cut off and people at the other end of a blocked road need to evacuate, attach the included loudspeaker and deliver the evacuation order—and directions to the safest way out—using the Mavic 2 Enterprise. You can also use the speaker to provide instructions to a hiker who's been found or a victim of a boating accident. Need to mark your position for others on your team or support personnel? The included beacon
attachment flashes a white light visible for 3 miles. It makes itself known through darkness, fog, and smoke. Tether it to an optional power system to significantly prolong the visual alert. If you need to record videos or stills at night—at a crash scene or in the aftermath of a crime, or to follow a suspect—mount the floodlight, and you'll have enough light to illuminate what and who you need to observe and to record evidence on 4K video or in 12MP still photos.
