FLIR M625CS – Dual Payload Thermal Marine Camera 30Hz

Description

Combine stabilized thermal imaging and low-light visible viewing in one analog marine camera system with the FLIR M625CS. Its 640-class thermal core, 36× optical color zoom, and two-axis gyro stabilization give operators a way to scan with thermal contrast and inspect a target with the auxiliary low-light camera. Need a legacy-friendly camera that works with composite-video displays? The M625CS provides analog BNC output, continuous 360° pan, 4× thermal zoom, and a controlled pan-and-tilt platform for compatible marine installations.

Key Specifications

• FLIR M625CS dual-payload thermal and low-light optical marine camera.
• 640 × 480 VOx microbolometer thermal sensor.
• 530 TVL standard-definition low-light color camera.
• 25° × 20° thermal field of view.
• 4× thermal digital zoom and 36× optical zoom on the visible camera.
• Two-axis integrated gyro stabilization.
• Continuous 360° pan and ±90° tilt range.
• Analog composite video through BNC connection.
• Thermal palettes include White Hot, Black Hot, Fusion, and Rainbow.
• 12V/24V DC input, approximately 25W typical draw, up to 50W maximum draw, and IPX6 protection.

Integration

The M625CS requires a compatible analog composite-video monitor, MFD video input, or DVR. It is not an IP/ONVIF camera, NMEA 2000 device, chartplotter, radar, GPS receiver, or standalone display. Camera pan, tilt, zoom, and mode functions require a compatible FLIR JCU or supported controller.

Approximate detection figures of 2,700 ft for a person and 1.2 NM for a vessel are conditional estimates, not guaranteed detection or identification distances. Thermal and visible performance varies with weather, humidity, heat contrast, rain, spray, target size, range, lighting, lens cleanliness, and camera setup.

Installation Notes

Install the camera on a rigid elevated location with unobstructed 360° pan and tilt clearance. Keep it away from radar transmission zones, exhaust outlets, bright deck lighting, antennas, rails, rigging, and structures that may block the camera. Plan analog BNC video, controller, and 12V/24V power cable routes before drilling.

Use sealed marine connections, appropriate circuit protection, and power wiring sized for maximum heater load. A qualified installer should configure the JCU, video feed, thermal settings, visible-camera zoom, and camera alignment before regular use.

Before Ordering

Confirm analog BNC video-input compatibility, required JCU/controller, 12V/24V power capacity, mounting location, full pan-and-tilt clearance, desired thermal/visible use, cable routing, and monitor support before ordering.
