Your thermal camera has a single RayNet network connector. This connects the
camera to your vessel’s wider IP network. This could be an existing third-party
Ethernet network, or a dedicated Raymarine® RayNet network. For more basic setups,
the camera can be connected directly to a laptop or PC.
The details of the network connections between the camera, video display, control
unit, and the rest of your installation depend on:
• how you want to control the camera (for example, with a web browser, a
Raymarine® LightHouse™ multifunction display (MFD)
†
, a JCU controller, or a
combination);
• how you want to view the camera’s IP video feed (for example, with an analog video
monitor (connected via an IP video decoder), a Raymarine® LightHouse™ multifunc-
tion display (MFD)
†
, a web browser, or a combination);
• the equipment already installed on your vessel (for example, network switches with
free ports, analog video monitors, or other cameras).
The illustrations to the right show two examples of possible system layouts:
A — a basic system with a single camera directly connected to a web browser, via a
laptop computer or PC.
B — a more complex multi-camera, multi-display, multi-JCU system.

M100 / M200 Series cameras support DHCP and
UPnP to simplify the process of finding the camera
on your network, and connecting to it using a Web
browser.
To access the camera web page from a Windows
PC or laptop, double-click the camera in the
Windows Explorer “Network” folder. Alternatively,
type the camera’s IP address into your Web
browser’s address bar. Then, log in with User Name
“user”, and the default Password, “user”.
Note: See the documentation provided with your
camera for more information.
Connecting to the camera and controlling with a Web browser
Thermal imaging (also known as infrared)
cameras enable you to see clearly in
low-light and no-light conditions. For
example, a thermal camera can help you
navigate at night or identify obstacles in
areas of low visibility or even total
darkness.
Your M100 / M200-Series thermal camera
is a network device that communicates
over an Ethernet network using Internet
Protocol (IP).
You can use various types of IP-networked
device to interact with the camera’s web
interface, such as a laptop, PC, tablet or
smartphone.
Using a Web browser, you can:
• Control the camera:
– Pan* and tilt the camera
– Zoom the video image (digital)
– Return the camera to its “home”
(default) position
– Set the camera “home” position
– Activate and adjust surveillance scan
– Manually control the de-ice/de-mist
window heater
• Adjust the camera image:
– Color palette
– Scene presets.
*M200-Series cameras only
On the Live Video page:
• Click and drag the virtual joystick up or down
to tilt the camera.
• Click and drag the virtual joystick left or right to
pan the camera (M200 Series only).
• Click and hold the zoom-in
button to reduce the field of view.
The current zoom level (between x1.0 and x4.0) is
shown at the bottom-right of the thermal image.
• Click and hold the zoom-out
button to increase the field of view.
On the Live Video page:
• Click the Toggle Palette button to
cycle through 4 different color palettes:
WhiteHot; RedHot; Fusion; FireIce.
• Click the Polarity button to toggle the
image polarity: BlackHot; RedHot-
Inverse; Fusion Inverse; FireIce Inverse.
• Click the Toggle Scene Preset button
to cycle through 4 presets: Day; Night;
Docking; High Contrast.
Depending on the time of day, weather, and other
conditions, one scene preset may produce a
clearer thermal image than the others.

Controlling the camera with a JCU-3 remote keypad
The JCU-3 keypad is included in camera
system packs, and is also available to
purchase as a separate accessory.
A JCU-3 keypad enables you to control the
camera from additional locations on your
vessel, separate from any Raymarine®
LightHouse™ multifunction display or
IP-capable device running a web browser.
You can install multiple JCU-3 keypads.
Multiple JCU-3 keypads can control a
single camera; a single JCU-3 keypad can
control multiple cameras in more complex
systems.
Note: A JCU-3 keypad or Raymarine®
LightHouse™ multifunction display is not
required to operate the camera; a web
browser is sufficient.
A JCU-3 keypad enables you to:
• Control the camera:
– Pan* and tilt the camera
– Zoom the video image (digital)
– Return the camera to its “home”
(default) position
– Set the camera “home” position
– Define up to three user-configurable
buttons
– Park & stow the camera
• Adjust the thermal image: Color palette;
scene presets; video polarity.

• Use the circular Uni-controller to:
— Tilt the camera up and down, or pan it
left and right (M200 Series only): press
the inner-ring up, down, left, or right.
— Continuously pan the camera: rotate the
outer-ring of the Uni-controller in either
direction; rotate more to increase pan rate.
• Zoom the thermal image in or out with the
‘-’ or ‘+’ buttons.
Adjust the thermal image; work with
user-programmable buttons (UPBs)

cameras.
• Press momentarily to cycle through
four different color palettes.
• Press and hold to toggle the
polarity of the current color palette.
• Press to cycle through four
different scene presets.
• User programmable buttons (UPBs)—
see Installation and operation instructions.

• Press momentarily to return the
camera to its home position.
• Press and hold to set the current
camera position as the home
position.
• Press and hold to park & stow the
camera. To reactivate: pan, tilt, or
press the home key.
• Press twice to cycle through cameras
(multi-camera systems only).

From the home screen, select the Camera
application, or an icon that includes the Camera
application.
Note: If the home screen does NOT include a page
icon that features the Camera application you will
need to create a new page icon. For further
information, see the documentation supplied with
your MFD.
The thermal camera provides a video image that is
shown on your display. The video feed shows the:
• Thermal image
• Status icons / system information
On a touchscreen MFD you can pan, tilt, and zoom
the thermal camera image using the touchscreen:
• Move your finger up and down the screen to tilt
the camera, or left and right to pan the camera
(M200 Series only).
• Pinch two fingers together to zoom in; spread
two fingers apart to zoom out (requires a
compatible “multi-touch” MFD).
On an MFD with physical controls or when using a
remote keypad such as the JCU-3, you can pan, tilt
and zoom the thermal camera image using the
Uni-controller. This provides for finer control over
the camera and is particularly useful in rough sea
conditions.
A range of color palettes and scene presets are
available to help you distinguish objects on-screen
in different conditions. With the thermal camera
application displayed:
1. From the menu, select Camera Settings
2. Select the Image tab.
3. Use the Palette list to select a new
color palette, and the Scene list to
select a new scene preset.
A live preview of your chosen settings is shown on
the right of the display.
†Controlling the camera with a Raymarine® LightHouse™ MFD
