FLIR M364C Stabilized Thermal Visible IP Camera

Description

Extend low-light awareness on a larger boat with the FLIR M364C, a stabilized dual-payload marine camera that combines a 640 × 512 thermal core with a 1080p visible camera and 30× optical zoom. Its pan-and-tilt platform is designed for operators who need to examine distant traffic, shorelines, floating hazards, or activity around the vessel in darkness, haze, or rough conditions. Need both thermal contrast and a zoom-capable daylight camera in one system? The M364C delivers gyro-stabilized imaging and IP video for compatible multifunction displays and network video systems.

Key Specifications

• FLIR M364C stabilized thermal and visible IP marine camera, part number E55314.
• 640 × 512 uncooled VOx thermal microbolometer operating in the 7.5–13.5 µm spectral range.
• Integrated 1080p visible-light camera with 30× optical zoom and low-light capability.
• Two-axis gyro stabilization with continuous 360° pan and ±90° tilt.
• Network video through Ethernet with RTSP and ONVIF Profile S support.
• Supports NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 integration for compatible vessel-data functions.
• 12V–24V DC input with nominal power consumption around 50W and higher draw when heater functions are active.
• IPX6 weather protection, operating temperature range of -13°F to 131°F (-25°C to 55°C), and approximately 12.5 lb (5.67 kg) weight.
• Supports ball-up or ball-down deck and mast mounting configurations.

Integration

The M364C requires a compatible MFD, monitor, or network video viewer; it is not a standalone navigation display. Ethernet carries IP video, while NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 can provide compatible position, heading, and control data. Confirm display compatibility, network bandwidth, video protocol support, and control requirements before ordering.

Thermal cameras detect differences in heat rather than identifying every object or hazard. Their performance can vary with range, atmosphere, humidity, temperature contrast, sea state, spray, lens condition, and target characteristics. Use thermal imaging as an additional awareness tool alongside radar, charts, navigation lights, sound signals, and visual watchkeeping.

Installation Notes

Mount the camera on a rigid location with a clear field of view and minimal vibration. Avoid placement behind windows, near exhaust outlets, below radar beams, or where masts, antennas, rails, lights, or rigging will obstruct its pan-and-tilt movement. Plan Ethernet, power, and NMEA cabling before drilling and use suitable circuit protection for the system’s maximum current requirement.

The M364C thermal core is specified at 640 × 512, while the visible camera supports HD video and 30× optical zoom. [836] Have a qualified marine-electronics technician complete installation, network configuration, and camera alignment.

Before Ordering

Confirm MFD or monitor compatibility, Ethernet video support, NMEA control requirements, 12V/24V power capacity, mounting orientation, camera sweep clearance, cable routes, and the appropriate field of view for the vessel’s operating profile.
