Spotlight & Speaker
The Spotlight & Speaker panel provides controls for drone-mounted accessory payloads — an illumination spotlight and an audio speaker — when compatible hardware is attached and detected.
Overview
These accessories extend the drone’s operational utility for search and rescue, crowd management, and night operations. Controls are surfaced in the Fly Dashboard side panel when the payload is online.
Spotlight
The spotlight is a high-intensity LED light mounted on the drone. Dashboard controls include:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Toggle on/off | Enable or disable the spotlight |
| Brightness | Adjust light intensity (percentage) |
| Strobe | Enable strobe mode for visibility signalling |
Speaker
The drone-mounted speaker allows the operator to broadcast pre-recorded audio messages or live audio from the dashboard to the area below the drone.
Pre-recorded Messages
- Open the Speaker section of the payload panel.
- Select a message from the pre-loaded audio library.
- Click Play to broadcast.
- Adjust volume using the slider.
Live Audio
If live audio passthrough is supported by the connected payload:
- Enable Live Microphone in the Speaker panel.
- Speak into your connected microphone.
- Audio is transmitted to the drone speaker in near real time.
