GCT 20 QVGA+ Thermal Imaging Camera010-11372-20
The GCT 20 QVGA+ Thermal Imaging Camera introduces capabilities and performance that, up until now, have never been available on other marine video cameras. Designed to enhance visual awareness at night, even in total darkness, the camera improves situational awareness, helps in collision avoidance and emergency situations, such as man overboard (MOB). Compact and lightweight, it weighs less than 3 lbs - ideal for sailboats.
See in the DarkThe GCT 20 provides amazing performance for your money. We call it QVGA+ because it delivers 384x288 pixels, which is 44 percent more than regular QVGA. It pans, tilts and provides 1x to 8x continuous digital zoom (PTZ). It even has object detection and hot-spot tracking. The camera detects the hottest spot, overlays a box around it and then automatically pans and tilts to follow the identified hot spot. Choose from 5 definable scene modes: night running, day running, MOB, fog and marina/docking for optimum performance in various situations.
Interfaces with Garmin ChartplottersYou control the GCT 20 camera through your Garmin chartplotter over its NMEA 2000reg; network. Select a point on the map and the camera automatically locks onto that point and follows it, easily tracking and following MARPA or AIS targets (requires heading sensor, purchased separately). One or more cameras can be controlled from GPSMAPreg; 4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000 series chartplotters with each camera being able to track the same target, or with each camera tracking separate targets.
Firmware Updates from ChartplotterFirmware updates are made easily over the NMEA 2000 network from your chartplotter.
Features and Specifications- Complete integration and control with compatible Garmin network MFDs (GPSMAPR 4000 series, 5000 series, 6000 series, 7000 series)
- Select or touch a point on the chart from the Garmin chartplotter and the camera follows to that point1
- Multiple cameras on the network can work together to track a single target, or their own individual target from the chartplotter1
- Man Overboard (MOB) synergy and Search patterns
- Hot-spot tracking - cameras can automatically detect the hottest object in the scene (ex. MOB), overlay a box around that spot, and then automatically pan and tilt to follow the identified hot spot
- Cameras can easily track and follow MARPA and AIS targets1
