The FLIR M232 is a compact pan and tilt marine thermal camera designed to improve navigation and safety in total darkness. Using a 320 × 240 FLIR thermal sensor, the M232 helps boaters detect vessels, buoys, bridges, docks, obstacles, and people in the water without relying on visible light, spotlights, or radar alone.
With its compact housing, network video output, digital zoom, and easy chartplotter integration, the M232 is an excellent solution for night navigation, docking assistance, and increased situational awareness on recreational and professional vessels. The camera can be controlled directly from compatible chartplotters or by using an optional joystick control unit.
FLIR M232 video overview
THERMAL – 320 × 240 thermal resolution detects heat signatures, allowing you to see boats, buoys, docks, and obstacles in complete darkness.
PAN / TILT – 360º continuous pan and +110º / -90º tilt movement provide flexible viewing around the vessel for safer navigation and docking.
COMPACT – The M232 is FLIR’s smallest marine thermal camera with pan and tilt capability, making it easy to install even on smaller boats.
CONNECTED – Designed for integration with compatible Furuno, Garmin, Raymarine, and Simrad chartplotters, with thermal video displayed directly on the vessel’s MFD.
SMART – When paired with selected Raymarine Axiom displays, the M232 supports ClearCruise™ object detection for audible and visual alerts when non-water objects are identified.
RUGGED – Built for marine environments with a waterproof gimbal enclosure, automatic window heating, 12 or 24 VDC power compatibility, and reliable operation in harsh conditions.
Available from Maritronix, the FLIR M232 is a practical thermal vision solution for boat owners who want better awareness, safer night operation, and easier navigation in low-visibility conditions.
