C-1080 Full Color Night Vision Boat Camera Digital HDMI 1080p + Analog - Stainless Steel 316L
Description
The BoatEye360 C-1080 is a full-color night vision marine camera built for boaters who refuse to compromise on safety after dark. Powered by an advanced CMOS sensor rated at 0.0001 lux (0.1 mlux), it delivers vivid, day-like color images even under starlight or moonlight - letting you spot crab traps, buoys, kayakers, and other vessels long before they become a hazard. It's the first marine night vision camera in the industry to offer true 1080p HDMI output, setting a new benchmark for resolution and clarity on modern chartplotters and multi-function displays.
Built in Florida from marine-grade 316L stainless steel with titanium screws, the C-1080 is engineered to outlast years of saltwater exposure and harsh offshore conditions. Every unit ships with both HDMI (1080p) and analog RCA (720p) outputs included at no extra cost, making it compatible with a wide range of chartplotters and displays right out of the box. Whether you're night fishing, offshore cruising, or navigating busy waterways after sunset, this camera gives you the confidence and visibility to do it safely.

FAQ
Should I use HDMI or RCA/analog for my setup?
It depends on what inputs your display supports. HDMI delivers the best image quality at 1080p and is recommended if your chartplotter or external monitor has an HDMI input - Garmin 8600 Series and Simrad Evo3S 16"+ are examples of compatible HDMI displays. RCA (analog) works with a wider range of older chartplotters and marine displays at 720p resolution - Garmin 1243 and Simrad Evo3 are common examples. Both cables are included with every camera, so you're covered either way. If using RCA, set your chartplotter to PAL format for the best picture quality.
Can this camera spot crab traps, buoys, and channel markers at night?
Yes - the C-1080's full-color low-light sensor is specifically well-suited for identifying crab traps, buoys, channel markers, kayakers, and other boats in near-total darkness. The color output is a major advantage here, as it lets you distinguish green and red cans and other color-coded markers that a monochrome camera would not differentiate. That said, we always recommend reducing speed at night to give yourself adequate reaction time regardless of camera quality.
Is this camera truly waterproof? What is the IP rating?
The C-1080 is rated IP68 to IP69, meaning it is highly resistant to water ingress from both sustained immersion and high-pressure jets. It is designed for full marine exposure - spray, rain, and wash-downs are not a concern. However, it is not designed for underwater operation and should not be intentionally submerged.
What cables are included, and are longer cables available?
Every camera includes a 33 ft (10 m) power/RCA cord with an inline 2A fuse and a 16.4 ft (5 m) HDMI cord. These lengths cover the majority of installation needs. If your boat requires longer runs, extended cables are available for purchase separately - contact BoatEye360 directly for options.
What mounting hardware do I need, and is it included?
The camera uses M5 mounting holes. Marine-grade stainless steel M5 screws or thru-bolts are required for installation but are not included, as mounting configurations vary by boat. Pick up M5 hardware at any marine or hardware store. The bracket supports top-mount and inverted (upside down) installation with no tools or software changes - just flip the U-shaped bracket.
Does the camera work with my Garmin or Simrad chartplotter?
The C-1080 is confirmed compatible with Garmin 1243 (via RCA) and the Garmin 8600 Series (via HDMI), as well as Simrad Evo3 (via RCA) and Simrad Evo3S 16"+ (via HDMI). It is also compatible with many other chartplotters and MFDs that accept RCA or HDMI video input. If you're unsure about your specific display, contact BoatEye360 before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
What is the return and warranty policy?
Every C-1080 purchase is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. If you're not satisfied within the first 60 days, you can return the camera for a full refund. The U.S.-based support team is reachable by phone or text for any installation or operation questions.
