What is Infrared illumination?

Infrared illumination is a longer wavelength than can be seen with the human eye. Infrared illumination is, however, very visible to the Nite Track sensor. Our infrared illumination is 860 nm and is near the peak spectral response of the sensor.

How far can I see with this?

Nite Track has a field of view of 14-degrees. How far you can see depends on the size of the object that is viewed. Typically, a channel marker can be detected and viewed from about a mile away. Nite Track closely matches the human eye, allowing excellent depth and distance perception.

Does it need to be professionally installed?

The basic Nite Track Marine kit includes all needed components needed to wire into your boat’s electrical system. If you are proficient with basic electrical work and hand tools, Nite Track can be easily installed. If not, a professional installation is recommended.

Does it have to be permanently mounted?
