New compact module addresses customer demand for ruggedized day vision and thermal imaging with onboard AI for armored and homeland security platforms
Rehovot, Israel, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maris-Tech Ltd. (Nasdaq: MTEK, MTEKW) (“Maris-Tech” or the “Company”), a global leader in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered video intelligence technology, today announced that it has completed the development of Peridot Night Micro, a compact AI-enabled day vision and thermal imaging solution designed to provide enhanced situational awareness for armored vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, maritime platforms, and fixed-site security installations.
Peridot Night Micro was developed following customer feedback and operational testing of the Company’s Peridot Night solution, including testing and installation activity on armored platforms. The new solution addresses demand for a cost effective, smaller, modular, and easily integrated night-vision module that combines day vision and thermal imaging with onboard AI capabilities.
Built on Maris-Tech’s Jupiter-AI edge computing platform, Peridot Night Micro integrates a thermal sensor, day camera, power over ethernet connectivity, and AI-based object detection and classification capabilities within a compact ruggedized enclosure. The solution is designed to provide clear day and night vision, real-time threat alerts, day vision and thermal cameras fusion on the Maris-Tech’s player and flexible deployment across land, maritime, and fixed-site applications.
Peridot Night Micro offers 90 degrees field-of-view coverage per module, combining a thermal camera and full HD day camera to support wide-area observation. Its onboard Jupiter-AI video board runs YOLO-based detection software, enabling AI-enhanced object detection and classification at the edge, while also supporting transmission of the video stream to the host observation solution.
“We believe there is a significant potential for Peridot Night Micro among customers already evaluating and deploying Peridot Night, as well as additional defense and homeland security customers seeking compact AI-enabled vision capabilities,” said Israel Bar, Chief Executive Officer of Maris-Tech. “By combining day vision, thermal imaging, power over ethernet, and onboard AI processing in a compact Internet Protocol camera architecture, Peridot Night Micro is designed to make advanced situational awareness easier to integrate across a wide range of platforms.”
Peridot Night Micro is intended for applications including armored vehicle driver assistance, situational awareness, terrain dominance, unmanned ground vehicle payloads, border surveillance, and fixed-site monitoring. Its compact and ruggedized design supports deployment in harsh operational environments where real-time visual intelligence and reliable edge-based processing are critical.
