High resolution marine thermal camera with pan and tilt, 2-axis gyro stabilization, ultra long-range zoom, ultra low-light camera, and LED spotlight.
The M500 stands as the pinnacle of commercially available FLIR marine thermal cameras for maritime applications. Its mid-wave detector offers double the image sensitivity compared to long-wave infrared cameras, enhancing range performance by 35%. With superior performance in fog and other atmospheric conditions, cooled mid-wave sensors surpass long-wave thermal cameras. Additionally, the M500's internal gyro stabilization ensures a stable view even in turbulent seas.

Navigate with a steady view in rough seas. Vertical stabilization compensates for vessel pitch and horizontal stabilization maintains the M500's field of view on a selected bearing.
A cryogenically cooled mid-wave thermal sensor delivers extra long range target detection.
High Resolution Thermal + an Ultra Low Light Visible Camera.
Actual range may vary depending on camera setup, environmental conditions and user experience.
M500 features a tight LED spotlight for identifying targets or inspecting incident scenes.
High-sensitivity mid-wave detector delivers superior image quality and enables long-range object recognition, while the M500's video tracking feature allows automatic following of a selected target using either thermal or visible cameras. Additionally, the M500 includes a HD color camera with 30x optical zoom and a low-light camera with 12x electronic zoom, ensuring detailed imaging in various lighting conditions.
FLIR M-Series cameras are designed to integrate seamlessly with chartplotters and multi-function display from Furuno, Garmin, Raymarine and Simrad. View the thermal image on your chartplotter display and control the camera's pan and tilt with your chartplotter's touchscreen.
