Iris ATOM A418 2MP IP HD PTZ Camera / Single Payload Low Light w/IR LED + 30x Optical Zoom

Description

Bring long-range low-light video to a marine network with the Iris ATOM A418, a compact PTZ camera built around a 2MP Starvis sensor, 30× optical zoom, and integrated infrared LEDs. It gives operators a practical way to inspect docks, shorelines, vessels, and activity around the boat during night passages or low-light approaches without relying on a fixed camera angle. Need a zoom-capable visible-light camera for a compatible monitor or MFD? The A418 delivers 1080p IP video, wired ONVIF connectivity, and pan/tilt control in an IP66-rated marine enclosure.

Integration

The ATOM A418 requires a compatible MFD, monitor, NVR, or network-video viewer; it is not a chartplotter, thermal camera, radar, GPS receiver, or stand-alone display. Confirm the intended display supports the camera’s ONVIF/IP video stream and verify any required Ethernet, RS485, power, or adapter connections.

Its low-light sensor, optical zoom, and IR illumination can supplement observation after dark, but the camera does not guarantee detection or identification of people, boats, markers, debris, or hazards. Weather, rain, fog, spray, ambient light, glare, lens condition, target distance, and camera placement affect image quality.

Installation Notes

Mount the camera on a rigid location with clear pan-and-tilt movement and a useful field of view. Avoid placement behind glass, near exhaust, close to bright deck lights, or where radar equipment, antennas, rails, rigging, and other structures obstruct the camera. Plan Ethernet, RS485, and 12V/24V power routes before installation.

Use sealed marine cable entries, correctly sized power wiring, suitable circuit protection, and corrosion-resistant mounting hardware. A qualified installer should configure IP addressing, video streams, PTZ controls, and display integration.

Before Ordering

Confirm MFD/monitor and ONVIF compatibility, Ethernet-network capacity, RS485 control needs, IR viewing requirements, 12V/24V power availability, camera mounting orientation, full PTZ clearance, and required cable lengths before ordering.
