Commercial, security and yacht rated marine equipment

FLIR's latest high end MV-Series and MU-Series models offer the very best in multi-sensor thermal image camera packages for maritime applications today.

All MV-Series and MU-Series cameras are powerful, gyro-stabilised and offer four payload bays with future-proof upgrade possibilities.

FLIR BHM-Series cameras extend the FLIR handheld thermal image range by offering a bi-ocular format body, allowing both eyes to be used to more easily detect small objects. They offer resolution up to 640 x 480 and up to 4x digital zoom, depending upon the model selected — unrivalled performance from a handheld device.

The FLIR HM-Series is a range of handheld shock-resistant thermal imaging cameras. FLIR HM-Series cameras produce a crisp image in the darkest of nights and bring the benefits of FLIR's market leading technology into the hands of boat skippers on craft as small as RIBs and small yachts. These are also excellent units for use on mobile harbour, marina, boatyard and rescue patrols.

The FLIR M-Series combines a thermal imaging camera with the option of a low light camera in one extremely neat and robust housing. It provides crisp, clear thermal imagery in total darkness and light fog or smoke.

Packaged in a small, ultra-compact gimbal the FLIR M-Series is designed for the most demanding boating and maritime applications. It is a perfect tool for night time navigation, shipboard security, man overboard situations, anti-piracy and many other applications. The FLIR M-Series sets a new standard for everything from aesthetic design to technical capability in a small installed profile.

It was named winner of the prestigious 2009 DAME Awards for the M-626L model (now the 625L). Further models have since been introduced including the FLIR M-612L long-distance high resolution model.

FLIR's Voyager III is a high-end gyro-stabilised maritime thermal imaging camera with advanced features including automatic tracking, temperature indication on the displayed image and a revised joystick control unit offering ease of operation for operators with busy workloads.

Like its Voyager II sibling, the Voyager III features two thermal imaging cameras and one daylight/low light camera. One thermal imager has a wide angle field of view, the other has a narrower field. Used in combination the operator can monitor a broad seascape or landscape while being able to quickly focus on areas of attention.

Precision gyro-stabilized Pan/Tilt can cope with rough water conditions, allowing the Voyager III to detect a human being more than 1.1nm (2km) away and small craft as far as 3.3nm (6km) or more in the distance.

FLIR thermal imaging cameras work by detecting extremely small temperature differences. These temperature differences can be converted into a real-time video image on which the anything on the water, or floating in it, can be seen. Warmer objects appear white, colder objects are darker.

Other types of night vision technology require at least a low level of light to generate an image. The lower the light level, the less efficient their operation. FLIR thermal imaging cameras are completely unaffected by the darkest of nights when the moon has waned or when heavy weather obscures the sky and environmental light.

As you can see in this video FLIR brings together thermal imaging with other technologies to provide maximum confidence in uncertain situations.
