About the Navigator

How much more time would you spend enjoying your boat if darkness and poor visibility didn't matter? With the Navigator thermal imager it's easy to see floating debris, channel markers, and other boats in total darkness, allowing you to navigate with confidence day and night.

Navigator has a 36° field-of-view, and delivers a clear video image despite darkness, haze, smoke and light fog. It is simple to use - if you can watch TV, you can handle the Navigator. ThermalVideo.com offers three configurations of Navigator to choose from: fixed-forward configuration; 360° panning; or as a full pan-tilt system. The pan and pan-tilt versions come with a precision Joystick Control Unit (JCU) for easy system control. Don't let darkness drive you off the water: cruise with Navigator.

The ThermoVision Navigator is a versatile low-cost thermal imager for maritime navigation. It features the same high-performance thermal imaging technology the Coast Guard and Homeland Defense agencies use, but it's packaged for use in pleasure craft.

The Navigator features a 36° field of view thermal imager that delivers a clear video image in total darkness, through smoke and light fog. Thermal imagers sense small differences in temperature, so warmer objects appear white, and cooler objects appear dark. You can clearly see outcroppings of land, buoys, markers, and other boats at range. Simply put, you can navigate with confidence in total darkness.

Unlike radar systems that require adjustments and training to use, the Navigator is simple to use. If you can watch TV, you can operate the Navigator. It can be configured three different ways, depending on your needs. It's available as a fixed system, with 360 degree panning, or as a full pan-tilt system with 2x zoom and on screen graphics.
