FLIR Elite Cooled Marine Camera Systems

FLIR elite: cooled range and automated tracking

The elite systems exist for one reason: to see further and more intelligently than any uncooled camera can. FLIR splits its marine line clearly. Lower tiers use uncooled cores for close-to-mid-range work, while the M500 and M560 use cooled thermal technology to cut through humidity and heavy maritime fog over massive distances. For a superyacht crossing open ocean or a commercial vessel that cannot afford to miss a contact, that reach is the whole point.

M460: AI target tracking

The M460 is an AI-powered thermal camera that uses integrated computer vision to automatically track a target, mounted on a highly responsive 3-axis pan-and-tilt system. It keeps a moving contact centered without constant manual input, which matters when the crew has other jobs.

M500: long-range multi-sensor

The M500 is a long-range multi-sensor platform pairing an ultra-long-range continuous optical zoom thermal lens with a low-light visible camera, stabilization and a spotlight. It is built to detect, follow, and illuminate contacts at extended range.

M560: the cooled MWIR flagship

The M560 is the flagship. Its cooled mid-wave infrared sensor delivers an incredible 14.9x continuous optical zoom, 4K ultra-low-light day imaging and advanced onboard AI target tracking. When nothing less than the longest range and the finest thermal detail will do, this is the camera.
