Iris Photon Ultra Low-Light 4K Night Vision Camera w/12mm Lens – Black

Description

Add detailed fixed-view low-light video to a dark hardtop or bulkhead with the Iris Photon 4K Night Vision Camera with 12 mm Lens in Black. Its 4K Starlight CMOS sensor and longer 12 mm fixed lens provide a more focused view than a wide-angle camera, making it useful for watching a defined approach, stern area, dock, or shoreline in reduced light. Need multiple video-output options from one marine camera? The Photon supports IP, HDMI, and analog composite video connections, plus PoE or 12V/24V power options for compatible display systems.

Integration

The Photon requires a compatible MFD, monitor, NVR, or video interface. Confirm whether the chosen display accepts 4K HDMI, IP video, or analog composite input, as output format and resolution support may vary by device. The camera does not provide radar, chartplotting, GPS, NMEA 2000 integration, or autonomous navigation functions.

Low-light video quality depends on available ambient light, glare, rain, fog, spray, lens condition, target contrast, and the fixed lens’s field of view. A camera can supplement visual awareness, but it does not replace lookout duties, radar, navigation lights, charts, or safe vessel operation.

Installation Notes

Install the camera in a stable location with a clear view of the intended area. The 12 mm fixed lens is more directional than a wide-angle lens, so test the image before drilling. Keep it clear of railings, antennas, rigging, exhaust, bright deck lights, and radar equipment that could obstruct or degrade the view.

Use sealed Ethernet, HDMI, or analog-video connections as appropriate, and route power wiring with correct circuit protection. Use marine-grade hardware and inspect the lens, bracket, cable seals, and connectors regularly after saltwater use.

Before Ordering

Confirm the required fixed field of view, 12 mm lens suitability, display input type, desired IP/HDMI/analog connection, PoE or 12V/24V power method, black-housing preference, and cable-routing plan before ordering.
