product image

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.

Premium Long Range Thermal Vision

  • Superior Short and Long Range Vision

    Cooled thermal core technology and continuous optical zoom enables early detection of vessels, navigation aids, and key landmarks.

  • Exceptional Target Awareness

    Automatic video tracking keeps the M500 locked onto visual targets, while radar integration directs it to track select radar targets.

  • Enhanced Clarity

    The 14× optical thermal zoom can detect the heat signature of vessels up to ~8.3 nm / 15.4 km away.

The Power of High Contrast Cooled Thermal Imagery

The Power of High Contrast Cooled Thermal Imagery

The M500's cooled thermal core is capable of producing images with enhanced detail and extensive ranges. Cooled thermal technology has been utilized by Coast Guard and Navy vessels around the world for decades, and now this military-grade technology offers government and commercial vessels alike unparalleled viewing capacity.
