NIGHT SEEKER M3514
High-Performance Rugged Thermal Mini Observation System
The NIGHT SEEKER M3514 is a small, lightweight thermal observation system for short to medium ranges. It is suitable for monitoring open spaces around airports, oil installations, marine docks, and other locations. The system combines an uncooled 8 to 12 micron detector with a 35mm F/1.4 Germanium objective lens in a robust 6061T6 aluminium housing. It can also be temporarily mounted on a vehicle with a miniature pan-and-tilt unit, allowing video to be viewed and the system operated from inside the vehicle using a laptop.
