BEST OF THE REST

Thermal-imaging systems

FLIR OCEAN SCOUT

A thermal camera aimed at yachtsmen wanting a thermal-imaging monocular to keep at hand. Incorporating an alert mode that automatically identifies the hottest object in view, it’s capable of generating a clear picture in total darkness.

FLIR M232 THERMAL IP CAMERA

Marketed as an affordable thermal camera for fixed installation, the M232 can be mounted on the spreaders, giving the helmsman a much greater degree of situational awareness. It also incorporates pan and tilt technology to ensure the camera angle can be adjusted remotely.

SEEK THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA FOR ANDROID

The Seek offers a similar product to the FLIR One, but doesn’t need to be charged separately, relying instead on the smartphone’s power supply. It’s also available in a pro model, which offers higher resolution and a wider field of view than the standard model.
