Meet the FLIR M100 — a compact, rugged thermal imaging camera purpose-built for maritime environments. With a sharp 320 × 240 VOx microbolometer and a 9 Hz refresh rate, it delivers dependable, fast thermal detail that helps you see people, vessels, and hazards long before they’re visible to the naked eye. Its tilt-enabled design and network-ready architecture make it a practical, scalable solution for modern boats, workboats, and offshore craft.

Why the FLIR M100 stands out for maritime use

• Clear, actionable imagery: 320 × 240 VOx microbolometer provides crisp thermal detail in low-light and adverse weather, helping you detect people in the water or small vessels at meaningful ranges.
• Extended viewing with confidence: 2× e‑Zoom expands your reach without sacrificing critical edge definition, so you can assess situations from a safer distance.
• Seamless integration: Ethernet-enabled design means easy networking with your helm displays, radar, autopilot, or other onboard electronics for a cohesive situational picture.
• Flexible mounting and aiming: Tilt range of +110° to -90° lets you optimize the camera’s line of sight on curved or elevated mounts without sacrificing stability or field coverage.
• Smart image processing: FLIR Propriety Digital Detail Enhancement™ sharpens texture and edges, improving recognition of hazards and targets in cluttered marine scenes.

Performance that translates to safer operations

The M100 expands your night vision capabilities in real-world conditions. Its robust 12–24 VDC power options and compact form factor fit neatly into tight pilothouse spaces or deck installations. The system streams H.264 IP video, enabling real-time sharing of thermal data across displays and recording devices so your crew can react faster to potential threats.
