Description

Cover both wide-area observation and close-in detail with the Iris A418 Compact HD IP PTZ Marine Camera. Its 2MP 1080p image, 20× optical zoom, and continuous 360° pan give boaters a flexible camera view for monitoring docks, shorelines, traffic, and activity around the vessel. Need a visible-light PTZ camera that can work across modern IP video networks? The A418 supports H.264 IP streaming, NDI, ONVIF Profile S, PoE+, and digital stabilization in a compact IP66-rated aluminum housing.

Integration

The A418 requires a compatible MFD, monitor, NVR, or IP-video viewer. It is not a chartplotter, radar, GPS receiver, thermal camera, or recorder. Confirm ONVIF/NDI compatibility, available network bandwidth, PTZ-control method, Ethernet switch capacity, and PoE+ power budget before installation.

Its low-light sensitivity is rated at approximately 0.01 lux in color and 0.001 lux in black-and-white mode, but visible-camera performance still depends on available ambient light, rain, haze, spray, glare, lens condition, target distance, zoom level, and mounting location. It supports awareness but does not replace proper lookout, radar, navigation lights, charts, or safe operating procedures.

Installation Notes

Mount the camera on a rigid deck, hardtop, mast, or arch location with unobstructed pan-and-tilt clearance. Keep it clear of radar transmission zones, exhaust, bright deck lights, antennas, rigging, rails, and other structures that can block the view. Plan Ethernet and power routes before drilling.

Use sealed network connections, suitable PoE+ equipment or a protected 12V DC circuit, and corrosion-resistant mounting hardware. Configure the camera’s IP address, PTZ controls, presets, privacy settings, and recording integration before regular use.

Before Ordering

Confirm compatible MFD/NVR support, ONVIF or NDI requirements, PoE+ availability, 12V backup option, desired optical zoom range, full PTZ clearance, mounting location, and required network accessories before ordering.
