The Ocean Scout Pro represents a new generation in FLIR’s line of handheld monocular thermal cameras.
Previously, the level of performance offered by this device was mainly found in more expensive fixed systems, but the Ocean Scout Pro delivers similar capabilities in a more affordable, compact, and robust package. This camera allows users to detect vessels, obstacles, and people in complete darkness or adverse conditions.
Among its key features, the Ocean Scout Pro offers wireless streaming to mobile devices, allowing real-time data sharing and enhanced crew communication. Its ergonomic design ensures it is comfortable to use in demanding marine settings. The DAME jury commended the camera as "a brilliantly designed iteration that takes FLIR’s handheld range to the next level," emphasizing its contribution to onboard safety and situational awareness.
FLIR's Continued Dedication to Innovation and Safety
General Manager of FLIR Marine, Gregoire Outters, expressed his appreciation for the recognition, stating, "We are honored to receive this award.
