Raymarine FLIR AX8 Marine Thermal Camera Monitoring System E70321
The Raymarine FLIR AX8 Marine Thermal Camera E70321 is the ultimate solution for the continuous monitoring of your most critical systems on board, such as the engine, generators, exhaust systems, and electrical panels. This advanced network camera detects invisible heat issues early, before they lead to costly failures or unsafe situations. The system can be seamlessly integrated into your existing Raymarine Multifunction Display (MFD) network.
Key Features and Specifications
The AX8 combines thermal and visual imaging for a complete and detailed overview. It delivers sharp thermal images with an infrared resolution of 80 x 60 pixels, which is crucial for accurate temperature measurements. The camera has a field of view (FOV) of 48 degrees by 37 degrees, allowing a wide area with a fixed focal point to be effectively monitored.
The measurement range for object temperatures is between -10 degrees Celsius and +150 degrees Celsius, which is ideal for maritime applications. In addition to the thermal sensor, the camera features a built-in digital camera with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels that is adaptive to the IR lens.
Network and Alarm Functionality
Thanks to the Ethernet connection, the AX8 continuously streams Motion JPEG, MPEG, and H.264 video over the network. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for easy installation with a single cable for both power and data.
The monitoring functions are optimized for preventive maintenance. The user can set up to five automatic temperature alarms at specific measurement points or areas. When a pre-set temperature threshold is exceeded, the system can issue an alarm via your Raymarine MFD, activate a digital output, or even automatically send an image via email or FTP. The robust housing is IP67 certified, ensuring waterproofing and protection against dust in the harsh maritime environment.
