IRIS 740 iHD – Through Hull HD Marine Camera

Description

Add an underwater or waterline camera view without relying on a surface-mounted housing with the IRIS 740 iHD Through-Hull HD Marine Camera. Its 1080p HD-SDI output, 140° diagonal field of view, and marine-bronze through-hull fitting make it a practical option for monitoring below the waterline, a transom area, or nearby underwater activity. Need a permanent hull-integrated camera rather than a portable underwater system? The IRIS 740 iHD uses a fixed 2MP optical sensor, reinforced glass window, and IP68 pressure-tested construction for compatible HD-SDI video installations.

Key Specifications

• IRIS 740 iHD Through-Hull HD Marine Camera.
• 2.0-megapixel 1080p fixed optical camera.

• 12V DC input with approximately 120 mA power consumption.
• Marine-grade bronze through-hull housing with reinforced glass window.
• IP68 protection, pressure-tested to approximately 50 m.
• 74 mm through-hull fitting diameter and approximately 2.4 lb (1.1 kg) weight.

Integration

The IRIS 740 iHD requires a compatible HD-SDI display, DVR, MFD video interface, or coaxial video-conversion system. It is not an IP camera, NMEA 2000 device, sonar, radar, GPS receiver, chartplotter, or wireless camera. Confirm HD-SDI input compatibility, coaxial cable requirements, display resolution, and 12V power arrangement before installation.

Underwater image quality depends on water clarity, suspended sediment, algae, ambient light, hull lighting, speed, bubbles, lens condition, and mounting position. The camera is a visual aid and does not provide depth, sonar readings, charting, or guaranteed underwater hazard detection.

Installation Notes

Through-hull installation requires careful planning for hull material, deadrise, internal access, cable routing, and sealing. Select a location clear of propeller wash, transducers, water intakes, exhaust outlets, lifting points, trailer bunks, and likely impact zones. Verify the 140° view before cutting the hull.

Use marine-approved sealants and fasteners appropriate for the hull material. Bronze fittings should not be installed in aluminum hulls without professional evaluation of galvanic-corrosion risk. A qualified marine installer should perform the hull penetration, sealing, electrical wiring, and final leak check.

Before Ordering

Confirm HD-SDI display compatibility, hull material, through-hull location, internal clearance, 74 mm fitting requirements, 12V power, cable route, underwater-view objectives, and professional installation availability before ordering.
