Surely someone must have been clever enough to work out how to get a low cost IR security camera of IP6 or above to connect to a Raymarine MFD?? I really want to be able to put a camera under my bowsprit seat so i can have a cleaer vie when sailing in close quarters with genoa out.
Has anyone found a wireless camera that can connect to a RAYMARINE Axiom?

Hello! I have installed a Dahua HDW-1120S and it worked well after set special IP settings. But after a Firmware-upgrade last year the axiom can't find the cam.
Maybe i have to set new IP settings on the Dahua but i have to climb the mast again to reset to open and the cam (reset button inside - or i make a firmware downgrade).

The title of your thread mentions wireless so that implies your camera will not have power continually supplied, ie battery only. Perhaps your intention is to wire the camera but have the feed be wireless??
Have you considered using something like a GoPro to accomplish your goal?

Hunter216- i intend to connect 12v power and want to connect via wifi to the axiom- the idea is twofold;
1) in daylight- sailing in close quarters i would love better forward vision ( the genoa limits visibility)
2) at night it would be useful to have infra red vision, although i understand distance will be limited to some 60 odd feet

Interesting project. I can’t help with the connection to your on-board display but I could offer a few thoughts.
It might be worth a trial run with a GoPro or some other brand of waterproof sports camera (perhaps borrow one) to determine what view your likely to achieve. The motion of the boat might require a gimbal or some type of image stabilization or you might get a bit nauseous from watching for any length of time.
I did a quick Google and found this camera. I have no idea if it really does what it claims but the videos are compelling.

GoPro Rival Launches Unbelievable Full Color Night Vision Camera
Low-light performance of cameras has been important for decades, but the action cameras like GoPro have always struggled due to size limitations. Tech brand SiOnyx's new camera has utterly obliterated the competition in this area. The SiOnyx Aurora action camera has ridiculous low-light...
