Technologically, thermal cameras may have been upgraded, but at the same time their technical characteristics have not evolved at an excessively fast pace. However, in the near future, technologically upgraded models are expected to be released, with a wider range of models and capabilities. Artificial intelligence (ai) has begun to dynamically penetrate the space of thermal cameras. In the coming years we will see significant upgrades in quality, camera functions and automation of these systems.

Teledyne FliR recently released the new FliR Ocean Scout Pro marine thermal monocular with significant improvements, designed for all professionals and non-professionals. Equipped with a 640x480 sensor, zoom and 30Hz high resolution, it offers human detection at 500 meters, with a 32° viewing angle. The camera is user friendly and has an app for wireless image and video transfer. In addition, the role of thermal cameras is becoming increasingly critical in the field of unmanned vessels, even in military (unmanned vessels), operations, as demonstrated in the war between Russia and Ukraine, where such technologies were used for navigation, surveillance and targeting.

BMTECH Company as an official distributor providing sales, installation, integration with other systems, repair, full-after sales service of TELEDYNE FliR since 2007, the starting sales year of thermal cameras in the shipping and yacht markets, observes and follows all technological developments in the field.

High-end Marine Electronics for Leisure, Commercial and Military markets:

TELEDYNE FLIR Thermal night vision cameras (for navigation and safety night and day with full visibility in complete darkness and sun glare) with the ability to interface with other systems (e.g. radar, AI, Black-Box) to maximize safety and complete perimeter surveillance of your boat. Ability to distinguish floating floating objects (i.e pieces of wood, containers) that cannot be detected by radar.

CCTV & Perimeter Surveillance Systems: Customized closed circuit television (CCTV) systems for full perimeter surveillance, engine room control and complete security fully tailored to the needs of each customer. Available options: • Camera Types: IP (digital), analog, thermal, marine IP66 waterproof, thermal for engine room control, fixed and PTZ (rotating), day/night, low light • Recording & Remote control: DVR/NVR, live streaming on PC, tablet, smartphone (iOS/Android) worldwide • Sensors integration: smoke, water inflow and other security.

Electronics and Marine Monitors: NOTTROT Marine monitors, MFDs and marine electronics (FURUNO, SIMRAD, RAYMARINE)

Engines/batteries/tanks Monitoring Systems: Thermal and non-thermal cameras for monitoring

Real time tracking and identification systems: GLOBAL MARINE TRACKING SYSTEMS S.L. (SEETRAC) with real-time tracking and identification of tenders and jet-skis. The system informs the main vessel of coordinates, speed, status and sends an alarm signal in case of danger or loss of signal.

Alarm System and Tender Tracking.

Integral software solution for the maritime industry (controlling and monitoring through PC engines, radar, AIS, generators, pumps, refrigerator, electrical, hydraulic systems, the list is endless), designed hardware.

MENTE MARINE automatic trim tabs - MENTE MARINE automatic system does not require additional wiring – it simply replaces the existing control panel and uses sensors to: • Recognize the movement and tilt of the boat • Self-adjust trim tabs for stability • Achieve faster planing, improved consumption and safer navigation • Turns on automatic mode when needed and automatically switches off when not needed.

Digitization of Analog Data – NMEA2000 & SeaTalk NG: Sensors converting analog to digital signals through NMEA2000 and SeaTalk NG. All information is displayed on MFDs in real time.

Lighting and Image: BlackOak LEDs with multiple uses offering strong, reliable lighting. In addition, they are perfectly combined with cameras to maximize image quality, night vision, surveillance and security in dark environments.

Marine Antennas & other Marine Electronics: High-performance antennas for communication and specialized marine electronics to support all navigation and communication functions
