Advanced Thermal Imaging Technology for Enhanced Night Navigation and Collision Avoidance
Navigate with confidence in complete darkness and challenging weather conditions with the FLIR MD-324 Static Thermal Night Vision Camera. This professional-grade thermal imaging system transforms night navigation for cruising, fishing, and sailing vessels, providing crystal-clear thermal imagery that reveals obstacles, vessels, and people in the water that traditional radar and navigation lights simply cannot detect.
Engineered specifically for marine environments, the MD-324 combines FLIR's industry-leading thermal imaging technology with rugged, waterproof construction and seamless integration capabilities. Whether you're navigating narrow channels, avoiding floating debris, or conducting search and rescue operations, this fixed-mount thermal camera delivers the situational awareness that can prevent collisions and save lives.
High-resolution VOx Microbolometer sensor delivers exceptional thermal imaging clarity, revealing temperature differences as small as 0.05°C to detect vessels, obstacles, and people in total darkness.
24° x 18° field of view provides comprehensive coverage for effective navigation planning and obstacle detection, perfect for narrow waterways and crowded anchorages.
Digital zoom capability allows precise identification of distant targets, essential for early threat detection and navigation planning in challenging conditions.
Smooth, fluid thermal video ensures you never miss critical movement or changes in your navigation environment, providing real-time situational awareness.

The MD-324's compact 5.9" diameter profile and lightweight 3-pound construction enables installation on various vessel structures including T-tops, cabin roofs, radar arches, or masts. The fixed-mount design provides stable, vibration-resistant thermal imaging performance.
Five preset modes optimize performance for specific conditions: Rearview Mode, Night Running, Night Docking, Day Running, and Man Overboard detection settings.
The MD-324 incorporates FLIR's proprietary Digital Detail Enhancement™ image processing, delivering superior thermal image clarity and detail recognition. This advanced processing ensures optimal contrast and sharpness, enabling confident identification of vessels, obstacles, and navigational aids in all conditions.
Specifically engineered for cruising, fishing, and sailing vessels, the MD-324 brings professional-grade thermal imaging capabilities to smaller boats previously limited to expensive commercial systems. The affordable price point and compact design make advanced night vision accessible to recreational and commercial operators alike.
The FLIR MD-324 meets stringent marine environmental standards and integrates seamlessly with existing safety systems. As a passive detection system, it operates without interfering with radar, GPS, or communication equipment, making it an ideal addition to any vessel's safety electronics suite.
For optimal performance and warranty compliance, professional installation by a certified marine electronics technician is recommended. Proper installation ensures correct power connections, optimal mounting position, and proper integration with existing navigation systems.
Detection range varies based on target size and thermal contrast. The MD-324 can typically detect a 6-foot person in water at distances up to 500+ yards, and vessels at much greater ranges depending on size and thermal signature.
Yes, the MD-324 includes a Day Running mode and can detect thermal signatures during daylight hours, particularly useful for spotting objects with different temperatures than surrounding water, such as debris or marine life.
The MD-324 features both Ethernet and analog video outputs, making it compatible with most modern marine electronics systems. Check with your chartplotter manufacturer for specific integration capabilities.
The MD-324 operates on 12V DC marine power systems, drawing minimal current for extended operation. Specific power consumption details are provided in the installation manual.
Thermal imaging detects infrared radiation (heat) emitted by all objects. In marine environments, it reveals temperature differences between objects and water, making it highly effective for detecting vessels, people, debris, and navigational aids regardless of lighting conditions.
The system requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic lens cleaning and connection inspections. The sealed, waterproof enclosure protects internal components from marine environments.
The FLIR MD-324 Static Thermal Night Vision Camera represents a significant advancement in marine safety technology, bringing professional-grade thermal imaging capabilities within reach of smaller vessel operators. With its proven FLIR thermal technology, rugged marine construction, and comprehensive integration capabilities, this system provides the confidence and situational awareness essential for safe navigation in challenging conditions.
Transform your night navigation capabilities and enhance onboard safety with the reliability and performance that only FLIR thermal imaging technology can deliver.
