SIONYX Nightwave Digital Marine Night Vision Camera - White
The SIONYX Nightwave Digital is a fixed-mount marine night vision camera built for boaters who need to see clearly after dark without relying on a thermal core. It pairs SIONYX's Black Silicon CMOS sensor with network-ready PoE connectivity, so you can run clear, full-colour low-light video straight into a compatible MFD. It suits cruisers, fishing boats and anyone doing regular night passages who wants a camera that talks directly to the helm display rather than a separate monitor.
Ultra-Low-Light Clarity:
The Nightwave Digital features a 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.
The 16mm F/1.4 glass lens with 44° horizontal field of view provides expansive coverage while maintaining sharp image quality from 10 metres to infinity focus range.
That combination means you are picking out shorelines, moorings and floating debris well before they become a problem, not squinting at a grainy monochrome feed.
Long-Range Object Detection:
The camera detects a man-sized object at 300m (984') and a marine vessel at 4.02km (2.5 miles).
On a dark stretch of coast or an unlit anchorage, that gives you real time to alter course rather than reacting at the last second, and it is a genuine advantage over the shorter effective ranges typical of budget thermal units.
Seamless Network Integration:
Built around Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, the system operates on just 5W nominal power consumption while delivering 30 fps video output in H264 format with video recording capability.
The Nightwave Digital is compatible with major MFD brands, including Garmin, Raymarine, and Navico (Simrad) systems through standard network protocols.
A single Ethernet run carries both power and data to the camera, which keeps cable runs simple compared with the multiple proprietary leads used on earlier analog models. You can also mirror the feed to your phone, since
the camera pairs a mobile app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for image settings and software updates.
Built for Marine Conditions:
Marine-grade UV-resistant polycarbonate construction withstands 20G vertical shock, 10G horizontal vibration, and wind speeds up to 100 mph, with IP67 water resistance ensuring reliable operation in harsh marine environments.
It's rated for operation from -20°C to +50°C and storage from -30°C to +70°C, so it copes with everything from tropical humidity to a cold pre-dawn run offshore.
The housing mounts ball-up or ball-down on a 4-bolt pattern, so you can fit it to a hardtop, radar arch or centre console without the camera dictating your deck layout.
