Abstract The analysis of Slovak Video Meteor Network (SVMN) observation of October Draconids (009/DRA in the IAU Meteor Data Center) meteor shower on Oct. 8, 2018, is presented. Three all-sky AMOS cameras were in operation during short-lived display of October Draconids. Over hundred shower meteors are recorded within the outburst by single station. We derived ZHR counts for two stations in suitable time intervals. They reveal almost the same behaviour of the activity, in details. Overall it can be accounted to rather fine complex structure of the recent October Draconids stream. Hereby we can identify at least three peaks in the count of shower meteors, on a short time scale. 25 double-station and one multi-station orbits of the shower meteors gathered within the SVMN are analysed and radiant position and area is derived. The results will be compared with data published of Draconids (2011), 2012 outbursts.
