Manufacturer Product Details
M232 Pan/Tilt 9Hz Marine Thermal Camera
The FLIR M232 marine thermal camera is the smallest and most affordable pan and tilt marine thermal night vision camera. Using the latest generation Boson(TM) thermal core, the M232 lets boaters see at night in 320 x 240 thermal resolution and also features 4x digital zoom. When the M232 is combined with a Raymarine Axiom MFD, FLIR’s ClearCruise™ intelligent thermal analytics technology offers boaters an entirely new level of awareness and safety. The M232 also uses IP video technology and simplifies installation by eliminating extra video signal cables. The M232 offers a 4X digital zoom capability.
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.

What’s In the Box?
Every M132 & M232 thermal camera includes:
- Camera unit

When the M132/232 cameras are set for either Ball Down or Mirror Image configurations, the Clear Cruise feature is unavailable. This is due to the nature of the algorithm that supports this function and its relationship to the orientation of the horizon. At this time, there is no scheduled date on which this will be remedied.
