FLIR M500 Ultra High Performance Multi-Sensor Camera System

The gyro-stabilized FLIR M500 cooled thermal camera is our most technologically-advanced M-Series pan and tilt camera ever. Designed around a cryogenically-cooled 640 x 512 pixel Mid Wave Infrared (MWIR) thermal sensor, the FLIR M500 excels at both short and ultra-long range target detection and identification. It features a 14X continuous optical thermal zoom, a color HD camera with 30x zoom, an LED spot-beam, video tracking and radar integration.

Features

SUPERIOR SHORT AND LONG RANGE VISION

• Cooled thermal core technology and continuous optical zoom enables early detection of vessels, navigation aids, and key landmarks.

EXCEPTIONAL TARGET AWARENESS

• Automatic video tracking keeps the M500 locked onto visual targets, while radar integration directs it to track select radar targets.

ENHANCED CLARITY

• The 14× optical thermal zoom can detect the heat signature of vessels up to ~8.3 nm / 15.4 km away.
