FLIR's ultra low-light cameras deliver stunning, high-definition imagery with exceptional color, contrast, and clarity.
Unmatched Visual Quality
FLIR Marine is renowned for thermal imaging technology, but many of its marine cameras also feature a built-in ultra-low light camera. This secondary payload offers significant advantages for navigation in both daylight and low-light conditions.
FLIR's ultra low-light cameras deliver stunning, high-definition imagery with exceptional color, contrast, and clarity. These broadcast-quality cameras produce 1080p HD video, supporting multiple output formats:
Video-over-IP
HD-SDI uncompressed digital video
Analog video for compatibility with diverse onboard display systems.
This versatility ensures seamless integration with chartplotters, monitors, and recording systems, enabling effortless video capture.
Exceptional Long-Range Performance
Equipped with a 30X optical zoom lens, FLIR ultra low-light cameras provide remarkable detail beyond the capabilities of the naked eye. Users can:
Identify vessel names, registration numbers, and hailing ports from over a mile away.
Enhance law enforcement operations with safe stand-off observation.
Spot feeding seabirds, aiding offshore anglers in locating bait and gamefish.
Detect navigation aids, vessel traffic, and landmarks with precision.
Additionally, a 12X digital zoom expands total magnification to 360X, delivering unparalleled visual reach.
Stable Video - Beyond Binoculars
FLIR's ultra-low-light cameras outperform traditional stabilized binoculars with two advanced image stabilization features:
Mechanical image stabilization via the camera’s gimbal system for steady video.
Digital image stabilization, eliminating low-level vibrations caused by vessel movement.
These enhancements ensure smooth and reliable imagery under dynamic conditions.
High-Performance Imaging in Near Darkness
With an ultra-low light CCD sensor rated at 0.35 lux, FLIR cameras deliver clear visibility in near-dark settings. Features include:
Color imaging down to minimal light levels.
Automatic black-and-white mode, optimizing near-infrared sensitivity to enhance night vision.
These technologies ensure maximum visibility, leveraging ambient light for superior nighttime imaging.
