SIONYX Nightwave Ultra Low-Light Marine Camera – Grey

Description

Match a gray hardtop or radar arch while adding a fixed low-light video view with the SIONYX Nightwave Ultra Low-Light Marine Camera in Gray. Its Black Silicon CMOS sensor and 44° field of view are designed to provide color video in very low ambient light, making it useful for dock approaches, nighttime cruising, and watching the water ahead. Need a compact camera that connects to an existing analog display input? The Nightwave delivers 720p video through BNC, runs on 12V DC, and uses an IP67-rated gray housing for permanent marine installation.

Integration

The Nightwave is a fixed low-light camera, not a radar, chartplotter, GPS receiver, NMEA 2000 device, or Ethernet IP camera. Its BNC analog video feed requires a compatible MFD, monitor, or appropriate video interface. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are intended for compatible SIONYX app functions rather than direct MFD video networking.

Camera performance varies with available starlight or moonlight, rain, fog, spray, glare, lens condition, target contrast, and camera position. Use it as an additional observation aid, not as a replacement for radar, navigation lights, charts, visual lookout, or safe operating procedures.

Installation Notes

Choose a stable location with a clear fixed view of the intended area, then test the 44° view before drilling. Keep the lens clear of rails, antennas, rigging, deck lights, exhaust, and spray-heavy locations. Route the BNC video and 12V power cables through protected paths away from heat, chafe, standing water, moving equipment, and high-current wiring.

Use marine-grade mounting hardware, sealed cable entries, and proper circuit protection. Clean the lens regularly, rinse salt deposits with fresh water when appropriate, and inspect the bracket and cable seals after offshore or heavy-weather operation.

Before Ordering

Confirm analog-video input compatibility, needed BNC/RCA adapters, 12V power availability, gray-housing preference, fixed camera direction, mounting location, and cable routing before ordering.
