M300C 30 Hz - Stabilized Visible Marine Camera with 30x Optical Zoom

The FURUNO M300C 30Hz is a stabilized, tilt-and-pan (PAN & TILT) IP visible (non-thermal) camera designed specifically for marine navigation and surveillance. It uses a CMOS sensor to capture color images.

The M300C 30Hz camera delivers a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second (30Hz), providing clear and detailed images.

The M300C 30Hz camera is equipped with a powerful 30x optical zoom, supplemented by a 12x digital zoom. This combination enables precise identification of targets at long range.

The camera features 2-axis gyroscopic stabilization. This technology ensures stable and smooth footage, even in rough seas, by compensating for the boat’s pitch and maintaining a level orientation.

Yes, the M300C 30Hz is optimized for low-light performance. It has a minimum illumination of 0.006 lux (with low-light mode enabled) and 0.1 lux (with low-light mode disabled). Thanks to its ultra-low-light sensor and near-infrared mode, it significantly improves vision after sunset.

The M300C 30Hz camera’s field of view varies depending on the zoom level:

Wide-angle mode: 63.7° x 35.8°Telephoto mode: 2.3° x 1.29°This provides versatile coverage suitable for various observation scenarios.

The Marine Video Analytics (MVA) functions of the M300C 30Hz enable intelligent detection of non-aquatic objects. This feature enhances situational awareness by helping identify potentially significant elements around the vessel.

The camera provides a continuous 360° pan range, enabling full 360° monitoring around the vessel. The tilt angle is ±90°, offering precise control of vertical orientation.

The FURUNO M300C 30Hz offers several video output options to integrate with various systems:

One lossless HD-SDI outputTwo independent IP network video streams (H.264/MJPEG)One analog video output (NTSC/PAL)

Yes, the M300C 30Hz is specifically designed to withstand demanding marine environments. Its IP56 rating provides excellent resistance to weather, water spray, and dust.

The M300C 30Hz camera is compatible with the following Furuno navigation displays:

NavNet TZTXLNavNet TZT3 V2 and +NavNet TZT

The precise control of the pan (PAN) and tilt (TILT) functions of the M300C 30Hz camera can be managed via a compatible chartplotter or an optional joystick control unit.

The M300C 30Hz camera is equipped with a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor, enabling it to capture high-quality images even in low-light conditions.

The FURUNO M300C 30Hz is a visible-light camera. It is not a thermal camera; it captures images based on visible light and near-infrared for improved low-light vision.

An IP camera like the M300C 30Hz offers several advantages for marine use:

Integration flexibility: it can be easily connected to an existing network.Remote access: ability to view video streams from different devices on the network.High image quality: digital transmission of images without quality loss.Simplified installation: often PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) compatible for power and data via a single cable.

Yes, thanks to its multiple video output options, including two independent IP network video streams (H.264/MJPEG) and one analog video output (NTSC/PAL), the M300C 30Hz camera can be integrated into various existing onboard surveillance systems.

Thanks to its marine video analytics (MVA) functions that enable intelligent detection of non-aquatic objects, the M300C 30Hz can help with environmental awareness and potentially assist in detecting objects or people on the water’s surface. However, it is a surveillance aid tool and should not be considered a standalone, certified man-overboard detection system.

Yes, the FURUNO M300C 30Hz camera is covered by Furuno's standard manufacturer warranty.
