Bring passive low-light color video to a compatible display with the SIONYX Nightwave CRV-500C Marine Camera. Its Black Silicon XTREME CMOS sensor and 16 mm fixed lens are designed to capture a 44° horizontal view using available starlight rather than relying on infrared illumination, making it useful for nighttime cruising, harbor approaches, and monitoring the water ahead. Need a rugged fixed camera for an analog or digital video setup? The CRV-500C supports BNC composite video, Wi-Fi streaming, USB Video Class output, and 12V DC operation in an IP67 marine enclosure.
Integration
The CRV-500C is a fixed low-light camera, not a radar, GPS receiver, chartplotter, NMEA 2000 device, or thermal camera. Connect it through BNC composite video, compatible USB video, or supported Wi-Fi streaming based on the receiving monitor, MFD, computer, or mobile device. Confirm input format, adapter requirements, software compatibility, and power connection before installation.
Its low-light video depends on ambient light, moonlight, shore lighting, fog, rain, spray, glare, lens cleanliness, target contrast, and mounting position. Use it as an additional awareness aid, not as a replacement for radar, navigation lights, charts, lookout duties, or safe vessel operation.
Before Ordering
Confirm desired BNC, Wi-Fi, or USB video connection, display compatibility, 10V–16V DC power availability, fixed viewing direction, camera field of view, mounting location, and cable or adapter requirements before ordering.
