Designed for use in harsh maritime environments
M-Series cameras are extremely rugged systems. The camera's
vital core is rated IP66 and is well protected against humidity
and water. The M-Series operate between -25°C and +55°C.
The M-Series cameras have a built-in heater to defrost their
protective window. This ensures a clear lens and good quality
infrared images displayed on your monitor even in extremely
cold environments.
Easy-to-use Pan/Tilt system
The M-Series come standard with an intuitive joystick control
which allows the captain to see 360° horizontal and/or
+/-90° vertically. This offers excellent situational awareness.
Lightweight
Extremely lightweight, both versions of the M-Series can be
installed at any position on board. They can be mounted at an
optimal observation point providing maximum field of view.
HOME• : the Home position is a programmable preset
position - usually straight ahead and level with the
horizon - which captains can use as a reference. A press
on the “home” button moves the M-Series to the operator
predefined position. When held down for at least 3 seconds,
it sets the current position as the new “home” position.
SCENE• : cycles through “Night Running”, “Day Running”,
“Man Overboard”, or “Night Docking” settings to change
the brightness and contrast of the thermal image. Varying
conditions make one setting more appropriate than
another for a specific task.
COLOR• : select “black hot”, “white hot” or “red hot” video
image mode. Hot object appears black, white or red
respectively depending on the selected mode. Other color
modes are "Fusion" and "Rainbow".
Remote control panel
The M-Series come standard with a remote Joystick Control
Unit (JCU) to operate the Pan/Tilt. Additional JCUs, which can
be used to control the M-Series from different locations on
board of a vessel, are optionally available.
The JCU is the primary method of control for the M-Series
camera. It can be used to move the camera (pan or tilt),
electronically zoom the camera in and out, switch between
the thermal imaging and low light camera, adjust the image
quality, and access the on-screen menus.
The M-Series control panel is fully sealed for use in a maritime
environment. Just like the camera itself it meets IP66
standards.
The control knob provides precise proportional speed control.
Use it to have the M-Series look in the exact direction you want.
The JCU Puck functions like a joystick - it can be moved left or
right, or fore and aft, and it can be rotated in either direction.
It can also be pressed down (like a mouse click) or pulled up.
It is used to move the Pan/Tilt position of the camera and to
navigate through the on-screen menus.
The following functions are directly accessible through the
control panel:
POWER• : switches the M-Series from operation to low
power standby mode. It can also be used to control the
brightness of the control panel.
MENU• : the menu button is used to turn on or off the
on-screen menu. When the on-screen menu is displayed,
the joystick puck can be used to navigate through the
menus and select various menu entries.
USER• : user-programmable key for commonly used
functions such as digital zoom, switching image polarity,
switching between thermal and low light image, ...
The low light camera incorporated in the FLIR Systems M-Series produces clear
images, even when only a small amount of light is available.
