C-1080 Full Color Night Vision Boat Camera
See Clearly. Navigate Safely. Even in Near-Total Darkness.
Positioning
The BoatEye360 C-1080 helps boaters see at night the way they see by day. An advanced CMOS sensor captures full-color images in near-total darkness — crab traps, buoys, bridges, kayakers and other vessels stay visible under starlight, moonlight, or dim dock lighting. It is the first marine night vision camera in the industry to ship true 1080p HDMI output, and every unit includes both HDMI and analog RCA at no extra cost.
Key features
1080p HDMI — an industry first
The first marine night vision camera with true 1080p HDMI output. Default 720p (analog RCA) and 1080p (HDMI) at 30fps, with options up to 4K at 60fps.
Dual output at no extra cost
Every camera ships with both HDMI (1080p) and analog RCA (720p) outputs. One price, both connection paths — no upsell, no adapters to source.
Full-color in near-total darkness
Rated 0.0001 lux / 0.1 mlux. Unlike monochrome night vision, the C-1080 delivers vivid, day-like color under moonlight and starlight.
Built to outlast the boat
316L marine-grade stainless steel housing with titanium screws. Corrosion-resistant and rated IP68–IP69 for long-term saltwater exposure.
Mounts either way up
Install upright or inverted — just flip the U-shaped bracket. No hardware or software changes. Works on T-tops, dashes and bow mounts.
Simple 12V wiring
Runs on standard 12-volt power at 2 amps. Wire directly to navigation lights or an existing switch. 33 ft (10 m) power/RCA cable included.
Optional external monitor
A waterproof external screen is available for customers who prefer not to occupy their chartplotter display.
Guarantee that closes sales
60-day money-back guarantee plus a 1-year warranty, backed by a U.S.-based support team that answers the phone.

Sales guidance
- Lead with safety, not spec sheets — night collisions with traps, debris and unlit vessels are the buyer's real fear.
- Full color is the differentiator. Competing units are monochrome or thermal; the C-1080 shows what an object actually is.
- Dual output removes the biggest objection at the helm: it works with the chartplotter the customer already owns.
- 316L stainless plus titanium screws answers the durability question before it is asked.
- The 60-day money-back guarantee and 1-year warranty carry the close on a premium-priced item.

Dealer FAQ
RCA or HDMI — which should the customer choose?
RCA (CVBS) suits most chartplotters and marine displays with analog input; set the chartplotter to PAL for best image quality. HDMI gives higher resolution and sharper image, ideal for modern MFDs or an external monitor.
Can it see crab traps and buoys?
Yes — the camera excels at identifying traps, buoys and hazards in full color in near-total darkness. Recommend slower nighttime speeds so customers have time to react.
Is it waterproof?
Rated IP68 to IP69, highly resistant to water ingress. It is not designed for underwater operation and must not be submerged.
Are all cables included?
Yes. Standard power/RCA cable is 33 ft (10 m); the HDMI version adds a 16.4 ft (5 m) HDMI cable. Longer cables are sold separately.
How do I reduce noise on analog video?
Secure all connections, use shielded cable, ground camera and display at the same point, and keep cable runs away from radar and radio gear.
What is the return policy?
60-day money-back guarantee for a full refund, plus a 1-year warranty.
