Advanced Thermal Imaging for Enhanced Marine Navigation

The FLIR Systems MD324 is a compact, fixed-mounted marine thermal camera designed to provide reliable night vision and enhanced situational awareness on the water. With a 320 x 240 resolution thermal sensor, it detects heat rather than light, making it an essential tool for navigating in total darkness, fog, or blinding midday glare. This technology allows for early detection of vessels, obstacles, and even people in the water, improving safety and operational efficiency.

Built with a rugged, weatherproof enclosure, the MD324 is designed for harsh marine environments. It easily integrates with existing onboard electronics, outputting standard analog video to most monitors at the helm or other vessel locations. Its small footprint and simple installation make it a practical choice for a wide range of vessels.
