SEA.AI Brain – AI Upgrade for Existing Thermal Cameras

Unlock the full potential of your onboard thermal cameras with the SEA.AI Brain, the innovative onboard processing unit that transforms standard thermal imaging into a powerful AI-driven collision avoidance and surveillance system. Designed for vessels already equipped with compatible thermal cameras, the Brain adds SEA.AI's market-leading machine vision technology — without the need for new hardware installations.

By seamlessly integrating with ONVIF-S compliant thermal cameras (such as popular models from FLIR and others), the Brain processes live imagery using advanced artificial intelligence trained on millions of real-world marine objects. It detects, classifies, and tracks surface hazards that radar and AIS often miss — including small craft, floating debris, buoys, inflatables, persons overboard, and marine mammals — delivering early, reliable alarms day and night.

Key Features and Benefits

• Smart AI Object Detection & Classification → Leverages SEA.AI's proprietary database (the largest in maritime machine vision) for precise identification and real-time collision risk assessment.
• Three Versatile Operating Modes → Collision Avoidance (forward-focused scanning), 360° Surveillance (full perimeter monitoring when compatible pan-tilt cameras are used), and Manual Control (user-directed investigation).
• Automatic Alarms & Tracking → Issues intuitive alerts with bearing, distance, and threat level; excels at spotting small or low-heat-signature objects like persons overboard.
• Seamless Compatibility → Works with existing ONVIF-S thermal cameras; supports NMEA integration for overlay on multifunction displays and chartplotters.
• Multi-Platform User Interface → Intuitive SEA.AI app runs simultaneously on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices — view live feeds, alarms, and controls from anywhere onboard.
• Continuous Performance Improvements → Over-the-air software updates enhance detection accuracy, speed, and new features based on global fleet data.
• Easy Retrofit Installation → Compact processing unit installs in a dry, protected space; minimal wiring required beyond camera connectivity.

Why Choose SEA.AI Brain?

For boat owners who already invest in high-quality thermal cameras but want more than passive viewing, the Brain delivers proactive intelligence — turning your existing setup into a tireless digital watchkeeper. Reduce crew fatigue, minimize blind spots, and gain confidence in crowded waters, low visibility, or overnight passages.

Nominated for prestigious awards like the DAME, the Brain makes cutting-edge maritime AI accessible and affordable, bringing proven offshore racing technology to recreational, commercial, and professional vessels alike.
