Handheld thermal imaging cameras for maritime applications

FLIR Systems: The world leader in thermal imaging cameras FLIR is the world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of thermal imaging systems for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and government applications. FLIR thermal imaging systems use state-of-the-art infrared imaging technology that detects infrared radiation - or heat. Based on detected temperature differences, thermal imaging cameras can create a crisp image. At FLIR we design and manufacture all of the critical technologies inside FLIR products, including detectors, electronics, and special lenses ourselves....

Infrared: more than meets the eye part of the electromagnetic spectrum Any object that has a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin) emits radiation in the infrared region. Even objects that we think of as being very cold, such as ice cubes, emit infrared radiation. We experience infrared radiation every day. The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire or a radiator is all infrared. Although our eyes cannot see it, the nerves in our skin can feel it as heat. The warmer the object, the more infrared radiation it emits. Our eyes are detectors that are designed to...

Thermal imaging versus image intensification (I2) Image intensification, also referred to as I2 technology, amplifies small amounts of visible light thousands of times so that objects can be seen at night. Image intensification does require a certain level of ambient light, but even starlight can produce an image on a cloudless night. Because the system requires at least a minimum level of ambient light, conditions such as heavy overcast can limit its effectiveness. Similarly, too much light may overwhelm the system and reduce its effectiveness. Thermal imaging cameras offer substantial...

FLIR thermal imaging cameras On board of every vessel FLIR Systems markets a full range of thermal imaging cameras for the most demanding maritime applications. Our thermal imaging cameras are rapidly finding their way to pleasure craft and yachts, commercial vessels, work boats, fishing boats, cruise ships and many other types of vessels. They will help you to navigate, detect other vessels, assist in overboard searches, secure your vessel in the harbour and at open water (anti-piracy) and give you a good overview of what is happening in the dark.

A large number of applications Night time navigation Finding people in the water Being able to spot small vessels at long distances, thermal imaging cameras will make you aware of approaching vessels so that you have time to react. Thermal imaging cameras can help captains to navigate safely at night. Other vessels, outcroppings of land and other obscurants become clearly visible on a thermal image. Coastguard and rescue workers use thermal imaging to find people floating in the water before hypothermia sets in. Shipboard security Both yachts and commercial vessels contain a lot of valuable...

Extremely affordable The FLIR MLS- / MS-Series are extremely affordable units. From now on, everyone can afford thermal night vision. Price is no longer an issue. There is no longer a need to use a less effective night vision technology. FLIR MLS- / MS-Series Ultra-compact handheld thermal night vision cameras The new FLIR MLS- / MS-Series thermal imaging camera gives every boater the power to see clearly in total darkness. It can be used for many maritime applications. Whether you are anchored in port or sailing in the open sea, you will be able to see in total darkness. Crisp thermal...

FLIR HM-Series the power of thermal imaging in the palm of your hand The HM-Series are portable shock-resistant thermal imaging cameras. They produce a crisp image in the darkest of nights. With the HM-Series captains of all types of vessels will be able to clearly see at night. Being a monocular the HM-Series are extremely compact and lightweight. They can easily be stored in a pouch or hung on a belt. Another advantage of a monocular is that you always have one hand free. Crisp thermal images The HM-Series produce thermal images of 320 x 240 pixels on which the smallest of details can be...

Shuttered eye-piece Detect man-sized Still image capture and video capture Image capture The HM-Series have a bellows eye cup. It prevents light from coming out of the viewfinder, helping the operator to stay covert. Lens protection Power button A lens cap, able to open 180°, assures that the lens is protected when the HMSeries are out in the field but not in use. It does not hinder the operator when the HMSeries are in operation.

FLIR BHM-Series see without beeing seen, now with InstAlertTM BHM-Series are shock-resistant thermal imaging cameras. They produce a crisp image in the darkest of nights. The BHM-Series will dramatically increase your situational awareness. The BHM-Series can be used on board of all types of vessels. Yachts, commercial ships, tug and tow boats, work boats, police and law enforcement boats will all benefit from the power of thermal imaging. 320 x 240 The BHM-Series are bi-oculars. This means that it is less tiring to use for the eyes than a monocular. By using a bi-ocular the ability to...
