Advanced Thermal Monitoring for Marine Applications
The FLIR Systems AX8 Thermal Monitoring Camera is a cutting-edge solution designed for continuous thermal surveillance of critical onboard machinery. By combining thermal and visible imaging in a compact package, this advanced camera provides real-time monitoring of engines, exhaust manifolds, and other vital components, ensuring vessel safety and efficiency. Integrated with Raymarine multifunction displays (MFDs), it offers automated alarms, live thermal video streaming, and easy-to-use alarm programming. The AX8 helps prevent costly repairs and unexpected failures, making it an essential tool for any marine environment.
High-Precision Thermal Imaging
Equipped with FLIR’s Lepton micro thermal camera, the AX8 delivers exceptional thermal sensitivity and imaging clarity. Its Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX®) technology enhances image details by blending thermal and visible images, making it easier to interpret data and identify potential issues. The system allows for continuous monitoring with audible and visual alarms across the Raymarine network, ensuring vessel operators can take timely action when needed.
Seamless Integration with Marine Systems
Designed for effortless integration, the AX8 connects directly to Raymarine LightHouse II™ multifunction displays, providing real-time thermal video streaming and recording capabilities. With the ability to connect up to eight cameras via Ethernet, users can expand their monitoring capabilities across multiple critical points on their vessel. The camera also supports easy setup and configuration through a web browser and PC interface.

Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.
Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.
Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.
Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.
Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.
Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.
To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
We are happy to help you find the right contact or documentation, but we cannot decide outcomes or intervene in claim resolutions. For guidance, email cs@qualityboatparts.com.
