Iris Photon Ultra Low-Light 4K Night Vision Camera

Description

Build a flexible 4K low-light camera installation with the Iris Photon Ultra Low-Light Night Vision Camera. Its Starlight CMOS sensor, 4K resolution, and multiple video-output choices let installers match the camera to a compatible IP network, HDMI monitor, or analog-video display. Need a fixed camera for a bow, cockpit, transom, or docking view without committing to a pan-and-tilt system? The Photon provides a compact IP68-rated solution that can run from PoE or 12V/24V DC power in a surface, bulkhead, or hardtop installation.

Integration

The Photon requires a compatible MFD, monitor, NVR, or video interface. Select one of its supported IP, HDMI, or analog composite outputs based on the receiving device and cable route. It is not a radar, chartplotter, GPS receiver, NMEA 2000 device, or autonomous safety system.

Confirm that the viewing device can accept the selected signal format and resolution. Real low-light image quality depends on ambient light, weather, reflections, rain, fog, spray, lens condition, target contrast, and the fixed camera angle.

Installation Notes

Mount the camera on a rigid surface with a clear view of the required area. Test the camera angle before permanent installation because it is a fixed-view model. Avoid nearby exhaust, intense lights, antennas, railings, rigging, and radar equipment that could obstruct the image or create glare.

Use sealed connections, protected cable routing, a correctly fused DC circuit, or an appropriately rated PoE source. Inspect the bracket, lens, housing, and cable seals regularly, especially after offshore or saltwater use.

Before Ordering

Confirm desired video-output format, display compatibility, 4K support where required, PoE or 12V/24V power method, field-of-view requirements, mounting location, and needed cables or adapters before ordering.
