SIONYX Nightwave Digital Camera – Black

Description

Maintain a clean black camera installation while adding ultra-low-light video to the helm with the SIONYX Nightwave Digital Camera in Black. Its Black Silicon CMOS sensor and 44° fixed field of view help produce a color image under starlight conditions, making it useful for dock approaches, nighttime cruising, and monitoring the water ahead without adding a large pan-and-tilt assembly. Need a permanent low-light camera that connects to an existing analog display input? The Nightwave provides 720p video over BNC, 12V DC power, and IP67 protection in a compact black housing.

Integration

The Nightwave requires a compatible analog-video display or an appropriate BNC video interface. It is not an Ethernet IP camera, NMEA 2000 device, chartplotter, radar, or GPS unit. Confirm whether the intended display accepts the required analog video signal and identify any needed BNC, RCA, or display-specific adapters.

Its low-light imaging performance depends on available starlight or moonlight, glare, rain, haze, spray, target contrast, lens cleanliness, and camera placement. It is an additional observation tool—not a replacement for navigation lights, radar, charts, visual lookout, or safe operating procedures.

Installation Notes

Choose a stable location with a clear fixed view of the desired area. Test the 44° image before drilling because the camera cannot pan or tilt. Avoid direct deck-light glare, exhaust, heavy spray, rails, antennas, or rigging that could block the lens.

Route the BNC and 12V power cables in protected paths away from heat, standing water, high-current wires, moving equipment, and abrasion points. Use marine-grade hardware, sealed cable entries, and correct circuit protection, then inspect the lens, bracket, and connections regularly.

Before Ordering

Confirm analog-video compatibility, required connectors or adapters, black-housing preference, 12V power availability, camera viewing direction, mounting location, and cable routing before ordering.
