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.

Cooled thermal core technology and continuous optical zoom enables early detection of vessels, navigation aids, and key landmarks. Automatic video tracking keeps the M500 locked onto visual targets, while radar integration directs it to track select radar targets. The 14× optical thermal zoom can detect the heat signature of vessels up to ~8.3 nm / 15.4 km away.
