Sophisticated thermal imaging night vision technology is now available in a compact, hand-held camera format with the launch of Raymarine's new TH Series.
The new TH24 and TH32 thermal cameras are lightweight and easy-to-use, giving boaters the power to see clearly for up to a kilometre distance, even in total darkness. These rugged, all-weather handheld cameras use the same technology as Raymarine's top-of-the-range fixed-mount night vision systems. The new portable format makes thermal imaging accessible and usable by a wide audience.
The TH Series makes pictures from heat, not light. As everything – even ice – has a 'thermal' print, objects show up through the thermal energy they emit. Thermal imaging means users see landmarks, bridge abutments, and other vessels clearly in all conditions from daylight to complete darkness. Thermal night vision will show rocks, buoys, floating debris, and even helps find people in the water, vital when just a few minutes makes all the difference in a matter of survival.
The cameras are easy to use, with just three buttons for operation, and a built-in LED task light. There are three thermal image modes; 'white-hot', 'black-hot' and 'red-hot'. The TH24 has a range of up to 895 metres for sizeable objects such as a vessel, and up to 320 metres for an object, such as a person, in the water. The TH32 model also features a 2x digital zoom capability, and has an extended range of vision, up to 1.23 kilometres for a vessel and to 450 metres for objects or people in the water.
