MTOsentinel | the camera platform
may be equipped with day/infrared cameras as the perfect solution for fulfilling missions such as search and rescue, surveillance, and inspection.
Such proven equipment can track cars and read license plates from 500 ft AGL (above ground level), and effectively detect the heat signatures of the people and vehicles on the ground.
Generally the cameras are 2 or 3-axis stabilized units with 360 degrees continuous rotation capability, with digital auto video stabilization and target tracking. Optical zoom capability ranges from zero to 30 times, and most infrared systems can provide four times zoom.
Equipped with the Rotax 914 UL, 915 or 916 iS UL engine, the Calidus Sentinel has the power needed to fulfill your task requirements.
AutoGyro recognises that different mission objectives require different cameras or on-board systems such as LIDAR scanning.
With a multitude of such systems already in service, the AutoGyro advanced engineering team has the skills and knowledge to provide the systems integration needed for such applications. Talk to us about your wants and needs, and we will work with you to find the solution.
Example application areas:
- Ground vehicle tracking and recognition

The platform for law enforcement
Our law enforcement models provide aerial support by day and by night. All our models are available as Night VFR certified in accordance with BCAR Section T, CRIE-01, and FAA Primary Category.
The MTOsport is the ideal platform to carry camera equipment and provide aerial support and overview for the officers on the ground.
Cameras may be nose mounted (ideal for Floats operations) or mid-under-body.
The abundance of energy from auxiliary alternators allows for easy powering of police radio equipment, ensuring excellent communication. Moreover, there is sufficient power available to support onboard cameras, live stream downlinks, and other systems.
AutoGyro has created a superb cabin ‘office’ environment and will tailor-make one to meet your needs.
Current models offer:
- Police radio system integration with live number plate recognition and 7″ control screen
- Third radio integration for aux communications
- Integrated camera display panel and controls
- Removable passenger seat control stick
- Heated seats, with lumbar support, perfect comfort for long missions
- Open cabin, ideal for hotter mission environments
- Tandem seated for excellent 360-degree view
