Flybridge video cameras


The flybridge of Third wave contains three cameras:

1) A 4k Dahua IPC-HDBW5830RP-Z.  This camera is mounted on the RADAR arch facing aft and pointing down to catch all the action going on in the cockpit in UHD 4k resolution.  This camera supports security analytics as well including triggering alarms if virtual "fences" defined by the user within the field of view of the camera are crossed.  This camera also supports the use of an external microphone so that any sound in the cockpit can be recorded.

2) A GoSea 1080P PTZ vehicle camera.  The details of this camera are provided in the video below.


3) a TBD forward looking navigation camera with build in stabilization.  This camera will be attached to the front of the flybridge cowl and will provide the same view to the driver that he will see by looking over the top of the flybridge console.  The main purpose behind this camera is to record what happens day and night, and to provide infrared night vision for the driver of the boat.  In this way, the driver can see what is ahead of the boat without shining the forward flood light and ruining his night vision.  The most likely candidate for this camera is the Samsung / Hanwha Wisenet III series.

Detailed pictures of and videos from each of these cameras will be posted when they become available.
