The FLIR M300C is a high - performance stabilized visible IP camera designed for marine use. It combines a top - notch visible marine camera with long - range optical zoom, making it perfect for law enforcement, commercial, and recreational purposes. With advanced gyro - stabilization, it provides stable imaging even in rough seas, allowing for continuous long - distance monitoring of targets or hazards. Its excellent low - light performance gives captains better awareness at night. For high - definition navigation, the low - light HD visible imaging sensor and long - range zoom enhance target identification. The 30x optical zoom and image stabilization offer better long - range imaging than binoculars, and ultra - low light camera technology works in tough lighting. When paired with Raymarine Axiom and ClearCruise™ AR tech, it can overlay AIS targets in real - time. In rough seas, two - axis mechanical stabilization reduces pitch, heave, and yaw effects, and electronic stabilization minimizes rumble. The integrated AHRS and horizontal stabilization keep the camera focused. It also offers seamless integration with navigation and security systems. You can use an optional joystick control unit and integrate with multifunction displays. It's ONVIF - compliant, has H.264 IP video stream and HD - SDI interface, and supports composite analog video for legacy displays. The package includes the M300 Camera, base - seal, gasket, various cables, mounting riser, fixings, decals, and a documentation pack.


Using the FLIR M300C is quite straightforward. First, mount the camera using the included mounting riser and fixings. Connect the power, video, and NMEA 0183 cables as per the instructions in the documentation pack. If you want to use the optional joystick control unit, connect it to the camera as well. When navigating, use the long - range optical zoom to identify targets, especially in low - light conditions. The camera's stabilization features will keep the image steady, so you don't have to worry about rough seas. For real - time overlay of AIS targets, make sure to connect the camera with Raymarine Axiom and ClearCruise™ technology. When it comes to maintenance, keep the camera clean. Wipe the lens regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Check the cables for any signs of wear and tear, and replace them if necessary. Store the camera in a dry place when not in use. Also, make sure to follow the safety instructions in the owner's manual to avoid any potential risks.
