BoatEye360: see other boats and obstacles in low light
BoatEye360 makes full-colour marine night-vision cameras to help skippers see boats, markers and floating objects when light is limited. For divers who also operate a boat, it offers an additional view during an early departure or a return after the daylight has faded.
The boat trip deserves attention too
A dive involves more than the time underwater. Getting to the site and bringing everyone home are boat-handling tasks, and visibility can change over the course of the day. BoatEye360 uses available light through low-light CMOS technology to produce a colour picture on a helm display.
We appreciate the simple purpose: giving the skipper more visual information about the water around the vessel. The camera is aimed at seeing the scene above the surface, including traffic and objects that can be difficult to distinguish against a dark background.
A display the skipper can use
The range includes a C1080 model with a 316L stainless steel housing. HDMI and RCA connection options depend on the camera model, with compatible existing displays or a separate monitor providing ways to view the picture. Camera placement and the display arrangement can be planned around the helm.
We feature BoatEye360 for the boating side of diving. It addresses a recognisable part of operating a vessel in low light without turning the page into a list of electronics specifications. For an owner equipping a boat used to reach dive sites, a clearer view of nearby vessels and markers is a concrete reason to consider the system.
