SIONYX Nightwave Digital Marine Night Vision Camera - Black
The SIONYX Nightwave Digital is a Power-over-Ethernet night vision camera built for boat owners who need reliable vision after dark, from weekend cruisers running home late to commercial operators working coastal and offshore routes.
Engineered for boaters who demand clarity after dark, Nightwave Digital uses an advanced Black Silicon CMOS sensor to reveal what thermal cameras can't, so even in moonless starlight you'll spot obstacles, buoys, and shoreline features with confidence.
It combines a high-resolution low-light sensor with direct network integration into major chartplotter brands, taking the guesswork out of night-time navigation.
High-Resolution Low-Light Imaging:
The Nightwave Digital features a revolutionary Black Silicon CMOS sensor with 1280 x 1024 high definition resolution that captures detailed imagery at less than 0.001 lux illumination, enabling clear visibility in moonless starlight conditions.
In practice, this means you get full-colour, usable footage on the darkest nights, well beyond what your eyes alone can pick up from the helm.
Wide-Angle Optics with a Long Working Range:
The 16mm F/1.4 glass lenses with 44° horizontal field of view provide expansive coverage while maintaining sharp image quality from 10 meters to ∞ focus range.
That wide, fixed-focus optic keeps the horizon and near-water hazards in frame at the same time, so you are not constantly panning to check for obstructions. Backing this up, the camera is rated to
detect a man-sized object out to 984' (300 m) and a marine vessel out to 2.5 miles (4.02 km)
, giving you plenty of warning to alter course.
Seamless Network Integration with Your MFD: Rather than running a separate monitor, the Nightwave Digital streams directly onto the electronics you already trust at the helm.
IP video out is H264 Main Profile, with a main stream of 1280 x 1024 and a sub stream of 640 x 512, both at 30 FPS with a 30 GOP
, and
it is compatible with major MFD brands, including Garmin, Raymarine, and Navico (Simrad) systems through standard networking
. A companion app rounds this out, with
mobile app control on iOS and Android over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus software updates and image settings
such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, day and night mode, HDR, orientation and noise reduction.
Simple, Single-Cable Installation:
The Nightwave Digital features a straightforward installation process with PoE connectivity requiring only a single Cat5e Ethernet cable run, with included mounting hardware and detailed instructions making setup accessible for most boat owners.
Power comes from the supplied injector, which
is IP67 rated with a PoE output voltage of 48 V DC
and
an input range of 9V DC to 36V DC
, so it runs comfortably off your existing 12V or 24V house battery.
Built for Life on the Water: The housing is designed to shrug off salt spray, dust and knocks around the helm.
It weighs 2.2 lbs (1 kg), measures 5" x 6.9" (127 x 175 mm), and is built from UV resistant polycarbonate
, with an
IP67 rating that protects it from water, salt, dust, and fog, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions and during nighttime boating
. Mounting is flexible too, with
ball upright or ball down installation using a 4-bolt pattern into fibreglass, wood or metal, or a 4x 1/4-20 pattern into a base
, so it suits centre consoles, hardtops and radar arches alike.
