NEW NIGHT-VISION PRODUCTS DELIVER BETTER SECURITY CONTROL
Whether installed on a superyacht or one of its tenders, the latest night-vision technology provides better security onboard and an easier way to control it. With a complete line of 16 night-vision cameras, OceanView Technologies' newest products, the Apollo 2 Xi night-vision camera and SteadyView video stabilization, turn a journey of total darkness into a safe and cautious trip. The Apollo 2 Xi utilizes an on-screen controller instead of a separate unit, making the camera easier to control and the images easier to view. All the camera's functions can be controlled through the on-screen menu with the included small, fixed waterproof mouse or wireless mouse. Eliminating the need for an LCD controller also increases the space available at the helm. With an IP configuration, users can check, view and control the Apollo 2 Xi camera from remote locations on or off the boat. The on-screen controller can be used with any marine display, including touch screens or on-board TVs. OceanView offers further flexibility by providing an optional handheld, wireless tablet to control the camera. An additional option, SteadyView video stabilization eliminates the effects of unwanted camera motion on a marine display by turning shaky, unclear video into a crisp, clear image. It can be added to any of -more- -2- OceanView's thermal and low-light cameras and is ideal for the Apollo series. While many yacht owners rely on gyro stabilization for their craft, the smallest movement, even wind, can still create an unreliable video image, SteadyView helps correct this problem. It requires no additional motion sensors and won't wear out the pan and tilt motors in the camera, since there are no moving parts. SteadyView can be turned off at any time and is simple to install. OceanView Technologies' Apollo 2 Xi night-vision camera has a price of $12,995, while the SteadyView video stabilization option is $2,995.
