The vast ocean represents humanity's final frontier of exploration, a realm where reliable environmental awareness becomes paramount. For vessel operators navigating these unpredictable waters, having an unobtrusive yet powerful visual monitoring system can mean the difference between safety and vulnerability.
Engineered for Harsh Maritime Conditions: Where Durability Meets Intelligence
Marine environments present unique challenges - corrosive salt spray, extreme temperature fluctuations, and constant moisture exposure. The Iris-S435/S1435 series addresses these challenges through robust construction and intelligent imaging technology.
Material Excellence: 316L Stainless Steel and Anodized Aluminum
The camera housing options include marine-grade 316L stainless steel, renowned for exceptional corrosion resistance, or lightweight anodized aluminum for applications where weight reduction matters. Both materials withstand years of exposure to harsh marine conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
Compact Design for Discreet Monitoring
The streamlined bullet-shaped design enables flexible installation options, including through-hull mounting or panel embedding. This discreet form factor preserves vessel aesthetics while providing comprehensive visual coverage.
Dual-Format Compatibility: Bridging Technological Divides
Recognizing diverse system requirements, the series offers both IP and analog/analog HD configurations.
IP Version (IRIS-S435): Smart HD Integration
The IP variant delivers 3MP resolution (2304 x 1296) and seamless compatibility with leading marine electronics from Raymarine, Navico (Simrad, B&G, Lowrance), and Furuno. Garmin users can integrate via Iris's CMAC camera management system.
Analog/Analog HD Version (IRIS-S1435): Legacy System Enhancement
Supporting CVBS (standard definition), AHD, TVI, and CVI formats, this version allows users to upgrade existing analog systems to HD quality without complete system replacement.
24/7 Visual Coverage: Illuminating the Darkness
Built-in 850nm infrared LEDs provide 10-meter night vision capability, ensuring continuous monitoring regardless of lighting conditions. The invisible illumination preserves night vision while delivering critical visual information.
