Collection: Cameras - Network Video

This category covers two distinct camera applications that share little beyond the marine environment. Aqua-Vu and Vexilar make underwater cameras aimed at anglers, letting you watch fish behavior and bottom structure in real time through a dropped or trolled camera head. The Vexilar Fish-Scout line includes color options with multi-view capability, while Aqua-Vu's Micro Revolution focuses on compact, high-definition imaging. If fishing is the goal, the key questions are resolution, cable length, and whether you want color or standard video. Iris Innovations covers the other half of this category entirely: professional-grade vessel surveillance using IP and analog camera systems, network recorders with up to 32 camera inputs, PoE switching, and PTZ dome cameras with digital zoom. Some Iris recorders integrate with Garmin OneHelm, which matters if your chartplotter is already the hub of your electronics.

Before buying from the Iris side, confirm whether your existing cameras are analog or IP, since the hybrid recorders support both while the IP-only recorder does not. Check your vessel's DC supply voltage against the stated input range, and verify mounting locations suit the camera housing material, as the mini dome comes in 316 stainless for exposed positions. For the fishing cameras, consider where and how the cable will route from deck to water, and whether you need a display included or plan to use an existing screen.
