FLIR
M500 Cooled Thermal/Vis Camera (30Hz)
Description
The FLIR M500 is the flagship of the FLIR marine thermal range, built around a cryogenically cooled 640 x 512 mid-wave infrared sensor. The cooled MWIR detector offers roughly double the sensitivity of long-wave thermal cameras and stronger performance through fog and haze, enabling ultra long-range detection and identification at sea. A 14x continuous optical thermal zoom, an HD colour camera with 30x optical zoom, an ultra low-light visible camera and a tight-beam LED spotlight combine to detect and positively identify targets by day or night.
Two-axis internal gyro stabilisation holds a steady image in turbulent seas, and video tracking automatically follows a selected target using either the thermal or visible camera. The M500 offers 360 degree continuous pan with plus or minus 90 degree tilt, radar integration, and analog, HD-SDI and four independent IP video streams. It integrates with chartplotters and multifunction displays from Furuno, Garmin, Raymarine and Simrad. This variant outputs a 30 Hz NTSC video refresh rate.
