Affordable thermal cameras from Raymarine
New thermal cameras let boaters see further and more clearly at nightFLIR Systems has announced the release of two new thermal cameras that have one goal in mind: making your time on the water safer and more enjoyable. With FLIR’s industry-leading thermal imaging technology, the new M400 stabilised multi-sensor thermal camera, and hand-held Ocean Scout thermal camera, give boaters unprecedented ability to spot other vessels, avoid collisions, and stay safe on the water by seeing clearly in total darkness and in bad weather.
"We’ve engineered our new thermal cameras with FLIR’s latest technological innovations to help enhance boaters’ awareness on the water," said Grégoire Outters, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR Maritime. "Our new M400 and Ocean Scout thermal cameras will help boaters stay safe at night and in bad weather."
Ocean Scout is a rugged, compact, hand-held thermal night vision camera that lets users see other vessels, landmarks, buoys, and floating debris in total darkness, making time on the water safer and more relaxing.
Ocean Scout features:
>> Two available models – 240×180 resolution and 320×240 resolution; the 320 model also features a live video output, and extended range performance
>> A new high resolution LCD display

Both versions of the Ocean Scout will be available at marine electronic dealers and retailers in February of 2015, with the Ocean Scout 240 retailing for $2500 and the Ocean Scout 320 retailing for $3750.
The latest member of FLIR’s award winning M-Series thermal camera line, the multi-sensor M400 is a versatile, high-performance pan/tilt marine camera system that gives boaters industry-leading, best-in-class performance to see other vessels, people in the water, and navigational hazards clearly day and night.
