FLIR JCU-2 Joystick Control Unit & POE Injector Kit

The FLIR JCU-2 Joystick Control Unit & POE Injector Kit (part number T70478) is the primary operator interface for FLIR's M-Series thermal camera systems, including the M400, M400XR, and M300 series variants. This integrated control and power solution consolidates joystick pan-tilt-zoom operation with network power delivery, eliminating the need for separate control cables and PoE sourcing in remote surveillance and reconnaissance deployments.

The JCU-2 combines precision joystick manipulation with on-screen menu (OSD) navigation, enabling operators to control camera pan and tilt movement, manage optical and digital zoom, toggle thermal imaging modes and features, and configure system settings without leaving the operator station. The integrated PoE injector delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet run, reducing infrastructure complexity in stationary observation posts, border patrol stations, and maritime surveillance platforms where cable routing flexibility is critical. Weighing 4.4 lbs in a compact 12 x 12 x 18-inch profile, the unit fits standard equipment racks and mobile command stations with minimal footprint demands.

The FLIR JCU-2 is specified for law enforcement surveillance operations, military forward observation bases, critical infrastructure monitoring, and tactical operations requiring real-time thermal image control from a standby or idle state. Operators familiar with FLIR's M-Series thermal platforms will recognize the joystick interface as the standard command device for these systems. The kit format provides both control and power delivery in a single verified unit, reducing compatibility variables and installation troubleshooting in field environments where system integration speed matters.
