Promarine ED-384M Essential Marine Dual-Sensor Night Vision System
The Promarine ED-384M is our highly reliable, standard-issue dual-spectrum optical solution engineered for safe nighttime vessel navigation. Delivering the perfect balance of performance and value, it integrates a dependable 384×288 infrared thermal detector with a stunning 8MP visible light camera.
Product Overview: The Standard for Night Navigation
The Promarine ED-384M is built on the philosophy that uncompromising marine safety should be accessible. By seamlessly integrating a high-sensitivity 384×288 thermal imaging detector and a low-light full-color camera, this system easily pierces through total darkness, rain, and snow. It effectively compensates for the visual limitations of navigation radar and AIS, serving as an indispensable and reliable assistant for everyday maritime operations.
Core Capabilities: Dependable 24/7 Vision
- Essential Dual-Sensor Detection: Combines standard-range infrared thermal imaging with exceptional 8.0 Megapixel full-color visual detection. It allows crews to confidently track unlit buoys and vessels in complete darkness.
- Zero-Latency Transmission: Utilizes advanced image processing for zero-latency transmission during high-speed navigation, ensuring real-time situational awareness.
- Electronic Defogging: The built-in electronic defogging algorithm effectively penetrates sea fog, providing clear target and environmental images even in challenging low-visibility conditions.
Engineered for Shipyards: 100% Standalone Plug & Play
- Highly Integrated Architecture: Features a highly integrated design that ensures easy installation and straightforward operation, significantly lowering deployment costs for regional shipyards.
- ED-C101 Display Unit: Equipped with a 10.1-inch high-brightness IPS screen using AR anti-glare tempered glass, providing clear visibility under direct sunlight.
- All-in-One Control: Integrates display, menu control, recording storage, and screen switching independently, bypassing the need for expensive external recorders or NMEA network setups.
Supreme Marine-Grade Protection
- IP67 Durability: Features an IP67 protection rating, incorporating anti-salt fog, anti-corrosion, and shockproof designs.
- Waterproof Breathable Valve: Designed for high temperature, high humidity, and large temperature differentials at sea. The valve balances internal and external air pressure, preventing window condensation and ensuring a consistently clear lens.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between the ED-384M and the ED-640M?
A: The primary difference is the thermal resolution. The ED-384M features a 384×288 thermal sensor, which is highly cost-effective and perfectly suited for standard-range nighttime navigation and collision avoidance. Both models share the exact same rugged marine-grade housing and 8MP visible light camera.
Q2: Does the ED-384M come with the same display unit as the higher-end models?
A: Yes. The ED-384M includes the exact same ED-C101 10.1-inch industrial-grade control terminal. It features AR anti-glare tempered glass and an IPS full-viewing-angle panel, ensuring a premium observation experience in harsh bridge environments.
Q3: Can we choose different lens sizes for the 384×288 thermal sensor?
A: Yes, the ED-384M is highly versatile. It offers multiple optional thermal lenses, including 4mm, 4.5mm, 9mm, 15mm, 19mm, and 25mm. This allows you to customize the field of view based on the specific operational needs of your vessel.
Q4: Is it difficult to install on an older commercial vessel?
A: No, the installation is extremely straightforward. The system features a 100% standalone plug-and-play design. Because it includes its own integrated display and control unit, you do not need to worry about compatibility issues with the vessel's existing navigation networks.
Q5: Will the lens remain clear in high-humidity sea environments?
A: Yes. The ED-384M hardware incorporates a specialized waterproof breathable valve designed for high humidity and large temperature differentials. It balances air pressure to prevent condensation, while the built-in electronic defogging algorithm actively penetrates sea fog.
