NightRide Trailblazer Vehicle Mounted Thermal Camera – 384×288 Resolution with Ethernet
See up to a quarter mile ahead through complete darkness, rain, fog, dust, and smoke — the NightRide Trailblazer is the go-to vehicle-mounted thermal camera for drivers, hunters, first responders, and security professionals who need reliable thermal visibility in any condition.
See What Your Headlights Can’t
Your headlights illuminate about 160 feet ahead. The NightRide Trailblazer sees heat signatures — people, animals, and obstacles — up to a quarter mile down the road through dust, rain, snow, fog, smoke, and complete darkness. It doesn’t replace your headlights. It makes you aware of what’s beyond them before it’s too late.
Key Features
384×288 Uncooled Micro-Bolometer Sensor The Trailblazer is equipped with a 384×288 uncooled micro-bolometer sensor — delivering sharp, high-contrast thermal imaging that detects heat signatures from people, animals, and vehicles at distances your eyes and headlights simply cannot reach.
Ethernet Connectivity for Reliable Wired Streaming The Ethernet cable variant of the Trailblazer provides a stable, low-latency wired connection to your in-vehicle display, dash monitor, or laptop — ideal for professional fleet operators, law enforcement, and security installs where a reliable wired feed is preferred over WiFi. NightRide cameras provide a web browser-based live view over Ethernet or Wi-Fi connectivity.
5-Minute Pain-Free Installation Install is a pain-free 5 minutes, and the Trailblazer can be popped onto any vehicle — from your car or truck to ATV or motorcycle. New vehicle grille mounted options are also available.
IP69 All-Weather Sealed Design NightRide cameras are designed for the elements, with an IP69 rated anodized aluminum enclosure that is resistant to wind, water, and dust. Rain, mud, pressure washing — the Trailblazer handles it all.
Extreme Temperature Operation Operating temperature range: -40°F to +140°F. Whether you’re running winter patrols in subzero conditions or working summer desert terrain, the Trailblazer keeps performing.
Versatile & Portable The Trailblazer can also be taken on foot with a GoPro mount attached to your helmet, or clipped onto a backpack when attached to an auxiliary battery pack — making it one of the most versatile thermal camera systems available at this price point.
