While thermal cameras give mariners superior awareness on the water, thermal imaging alone does not capture important colour information from other vessels or navigation aids.
The M300 Series from FLIR allows safe marine navigation and situational awareness using stabilisation technology to high-performance visible, thermal, or multispectral imaging.
In addition, the FLIR M300 Series cameras can be viewed and controlled by all major brands of MFD chart-plotters and the FLIR joystick control units (JCU) offer dedicated M300 series control and precise joystick manoeuvring of the M300 Series pan and tilt assembly.
Michael Oh, Maritime Applications Engineer at FLIR, talks about installing a JCU and the differences between each model.
