FLIR Marine: the benchmark in boat night vision

FLIR is the name that defined marine thermal imaging, and its cameras set the standard for night navigation on the water. From handheld monoculars to cooled long-range turrets, the FLIR marine range covers every vessel, from a center-console to a superyacht. At BlackReckon we stock the full line and give you honest advice on which model fits your boat and budget, with genuine FLIR stock, warranty support and prices in euros.

The FLIR marine range

• FLIR Ocean Scout Pro: handheld, floating thermal monoculars for situational awareness and search.
• FLIR M-Series: pan-and-tilt thermal navigation cameras, from the entry M232 to the stabilized 640 M364.
• FLIR MD Series: compact fixed-mount thermal for tight installs.
• FLIR multi-spectrum: the M364C, M300C and M400, combining thermal with low-light color.
• FLIR elite cooled systems: the M460, M500 and M560 for long-range, AI-tracked professional use.

Cooled vs uncooled: how FLIR splits the range

FLIR divides its marine cameras clearly. Lower tiers use uncooled thermal cores, which are excellent for close-to-mid-range navigation and security and cover the needs of most recreational and small commercial boats. The elite cooled systems, the M500 and M560, use Mid-Wave Infrared sensors that pierce atmospheric humidity and thick maritime fog over miles of open ocean. Choose uncooled for coastal and inshore work, cooled when extreme range in tough conditions is the priority.

Why buy FLIR Marine from BlackReckon

FLIR normally ties its cameras to Raymarine Axiom displays and charges a premium for essential add-ons. We do it differently. Our FLIR marine cameras ship ONVIF-ready and compatible with Garmin, Simrad and Raymarine multi-function displays, and we include the joystick control unit and marine cabling in the price. You get the FLIR marine camera you want, on the electronics you already run, at a keener all-in price.
