FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) announced the release of its new single payload variant of the popular M-Series maritime thermal night vision camera. By offering an M-Series model without the lowlight micro-lux camera, FLIR is able to make M-Series’ features available at a lower price.
This new addition to the M-Series line provides a 50% improvement in range performance. This increased range performance enables users to see navigation hazards like channel markers, outcroppings of land, other boats, and people in the water more clearly.
M-Series systems incorporate Ethernet connectivity and IP addressability for easy installation, control, and interface with other on-board electronics. Installers can mount M-Series gimbals in either ball-up or ball-down orientation for greater installation flexibility.
The M-Series also incorporates FLIR’s exclusive Accu-Point technology, a position control and display feature that gives the operator continuous feedback of where the imager is looking.
As with FLIR’s other maritime thermal imagers, M-Series imagers include FLIR’s full array of infrared color palettes for easy viewing; users can watch its video on virtually any monitor or multi-function display that has an auxiliary video input.
