This FLIR portable camera is the dawn of affordable night vision
FLIR announces compact, low-cost Ocean Scout TK thermal camera for under $1kIn Australia for Christmas, the new Ocean Scout TK thermal vision camera from FLIR is designed specifically for fishing and boating. You can easily carry the camera aboard, as it measures just 10cm and weighs 170 grams, and there are a lot of safety benefits to having night vision at hand.
The thermal camera provides users with the ability to "see" in total darkness or blinding sunlight using an affordable handheld device.
Designed for one-handed use and built tough to handle extreme conditions, the Ocean Scout TK uses FLIR’s famous thermal technology to display images based on heat, not visible light.
From showing buoys, rocks, boats and other obstructions out on the water, the Ocean Scout TK is said to provide situational peace of mind in an affordable, compact, powerful and easy-to-use package.
Five hours of rechargeable power via an internal Li-ion battery, combined with a range of selectable screen displays and the ability to record up to 1000 still images plus video, makes the Ocean Scout TK a valuable safety tool for all outdoors enthusiasts, FLIR says.
FLIR adds that no matter if you are operating in total darkness or dazzling sun glare, the Ocean Scout TK's 160 x 120 VOx Microbolometer detector teamed with proprietary Digital Enhancement software will clearly show what you otherwise might not see, giving you the power to fully assess and visualise your surroundings.
Combining fast start up and an intuitive user interface, the Ocean Scout TK is submersible (rated IP67), making it ideal for small boats and fishing kayaks.
A selection of video palettes — Black Hot, White Hot, InstAlert Rainbow, Iron, Lava, Artic and Graded Fire — allow you to customise the 640 x 480 LCD display to suit conditions and requirements.
The FLIR Ocean Scout TK measures in at just over 10cm in length and weighs 170 grams, meaning it can be easily stored in a pocket, tackle box or console. The unit comes complete with a lanyard for easy access out in the field, a protective lens cap and a USB cable for downloading images and video.
The Ocean Scout TK is available now from leading marine dealers for RRP of AUD$899. Tell Santa Claus. More about all FLIR products via the Raymarine Australia page at www.raymarine.com.au.
