Thermal Imagers For Marine Applications Introduced D&B Technology Group, Inc. recently introduced a line of new infrared (IR) thermal imaging cameras, called HOT- EYE, that mariners can use to better navigate in total darkness and other low- visibility situations. The units are man- ufactured by EMX, Inc., a Winter Springs, Fla.-based systems integrator, and incorporate Raytheon Commercial Infrared IR detector technology. Available in four models: HOTEYE 3x, HOTEYE PT8, HOTEYE 5 and HOTEYE 5c, infrared thermal imaging cameras — also called Forward Look- ing Infrared (FLIR) cameras — measure the invisible thermal energy emitted by all objects and convert them into visible images the eyes can see. Thermal imag- ANCHORS CHAINS W3RTELBOER ing c a m - eras require no light and can be used in compete darkness or to see through sea haze, mod- erate fog, or light rain. Thermal imaging cameras provide heightened situational awareness and improved security on and around a vessel whether navigating through a channel or in open water. "Infrared thermal imaging cam- eras are a mariner's night eyes," said Bob Gravely, president, D&B Technol- ogy Group. "They are superior detec- tion devices — particularly when there's absolutely zero light - and dramatically improve the safety for the captain and crew." Radar can help you know there's something out there, but with thermal imaging, you can actually see what it is from up to a mile away," Gravely explained. Retail pricing for the HOT- EYE line of infrared thermal imaging cameras start at $12,899.
