FLIR M232
Compact Pan/Tilt Marine Thermal Camera
ClearCruise Object Detection—Your Extra Set of Eyes
The FLIR M232 is one of FLIR’s most compact and cost-effective marine thermal cameras, designed to enhance safety and awareness on the water.
With a 320 × 240 resolution thermal sensor, it helps boaters detect vessels, obstacles, and navigation markers—even in complete darkness.
Enjoy full 360° panoramic viewing while underway, thanks to its pan-and-tilt capabilities.
When paired with a Raymarine Axiom multifunction display, the M232 unlocks FLIR’s ClearCruise intelligent thermal analytics.
This feature delivers audible and visual alerts when “non-water” objects—such as boats, buoys, or floating debris—enter the scene, boosting situational awareness both day and night.
Make Navigation Safer
The M232 improves navigation and safety by helping you see bridges, docks, buoys, and other vessels, night and day. The M232 also helps boaters find people in the water faster than using spotlights and radar alone.
Optimised Viewing
M232 features a full 320×240 resolution for optimal horizon-to-horizon viewing and 4X continuous e-zoom.
Easy to Install on Any Vessel
The combination of the M232’s small, lightweight design and IP video connectivity make it a snap to install and integrate with multiple MFDs.
