FLIR M364C – Dual Payload Thermal Camera 640×512 (No JCU)

Description

Combine higher-resolution thermal imaging with long-range visible zoom using the FLIR M364C Dual Payload Camera. Its 640 × 512 thermal core, 1080p low-light visible camera, 30× optical zoom, and two-axis gyro stabilization give captains multiple ways to examine traffic, shorelines, docks, and activity around the vessel in changing light conditions. Need thermal contrast and detailed visible imagery from one pan-and-tilt unit? The M364C supports H.264 IP, HD-SDI, and analog video output for compatible MFD, monitor, and recorder systems.

Key Specifications

• FLIR M364C dual-payload thermal and low-light visible marine camera, supplied without a JCU controller.
• 640 × 512 VOx microbolometer thermal core.
• 1080p high-definition low-light visible camera with 30× optical zoom.
• 24° × 18° thermal field of view.
• 4× thermal digital zoom and 30× optical zoom on the visible camera.
• Two-axis integrated gyro stabilization.
• Continuous 360° pan and ±90° tilt range.
• H.264 IP, HD-SDI, and analog video output options.
• Supports compatible NMEA 2000 and ONVIF integration.
• 12V/24V DC or PoE+ power arrangements; published maximum consumption is approximately 41W with heaters active.
• IP67 housing with approximate dimensions of 8.7 × 12.9 inches and weight of 14.5 lb (6.6 kg).

Integration

The M364C needs a compatible MFD, monitor, NVR, or IP-video viewer. Because this version is supplied without a JCU, verify whether MFD touchscreen control, a separately purchased FLIR joystick, or another compatible control method will be used. Confirm the required video output, display protocol, Ethernet/PoE+ capacity, and NMEA integration before purchase.

Approximate detection distances of 5,000 ft for a person and 2.5 NM for a vessel are conditional manufacturer-style estimates, not guarantees. Thermal and visible-camera performance is affected by weather, heat contrast, humidity, target size, range, vessel motion, sea state, rain, spray, zoom settings, and lens cleanliness.

Installation Notes

Mount the camera on a rigid elevated location with uninterrupted 360° pan and tilt clearance. Avoid windows, exhaust, strong deck lights, radar-transmission zones, rigging, antennas, and structures that could block the view. Plan power, Ethernet, HD-SDI, analog-video, and NMEA wiring based on the selected installation method.

Use sealed marine-grade connections, suitable overcurrent protection, and power capacity sized for maximum heater load. A qualified installer should complete IP configuration, video selection, NMEA setup, camera alignment, and control integration.

Before Ordering

Confirm compatible display and control method, selected IP/HD-SDI/analog video output, NMEA/ONVIF needs, 12V/24V or PoE+ supply capacity, full PTZ clearance, mounting strength, cable routes, and the absence of an included JCU before ordering.
