The Iris Photon is a 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160, 8.3MP) ultra low light IP camera that produces full colour video in near-darkness, down to 0.0003 lux. This model pairs a white outer shell with a black camera ball and uses the 2.8mm wide-angle lens for a broad field of view. It is powered over a single Ethernet cable by PoE.

Description

Photon is Iris's ultra high-definition, ultra low light night vision camera. It combines a 1/1.2 inch 8.3-megapixel CMOS sensor with advanced video processing and AI analytics to deliver full colour, real-time 4K video in conditions approaching pitch black, down to 0.0003 lux. Even under moonless, starlit skies the processor analyses every pixel and dynamically boosts the output stream, and an integrated soft white LED illuminator adds short-range visibility out to around 100 feet.

Designed to sidestep the cost, export restrictions and low-contrast limitations of thermal cameras, Photon adds striking detail to chart plotters that support 4K, such as Garmin's 9000 series, and can be configured to output lower resolutions for standard displays. It streams over ONVIF with multiple simultaneous streams and meets EN60945 EMC, NDAA and IP67 environmental requirements.

Power over Ethernet to the IEEE802.3af standard keeps installation simple: a single CAT5 cable, four mounting holes and a cable entry are all that is needed.

How does Photon see in the dark without thermal imaging?
Photon uses a large 1/1.2 inch 8.3-megapixel sensor with AI-assisted video processing that analyses and boosts every pixel, producing full colour video down to 0.0003 lux. It needs a small amount of ambient light, such as starlight, and an integrated soft white LED adds short-range illumination to around 100 feet.
How is the camera powered and wired?
Photon is powered by Power over Ethernet to the IEEE802.3af standard, so a single CAT5 cable carries both power and video. Installation needs four mounting holes plus a cable entry.
Will it work with my chart plotter?
Yes. Photon is ONVIF compliant and compatible with leading chart plotters. It adds full benefit on displays that support 4K, such as Garmin 9000 series, and can be configured to output lower resolutions for standard-definition displays.
What is the difference between the 12mm and 2.8mm versions?
The 12mm lens gives a narrower, longer-range field of view for spotting detail at distance, while the 2.8mm lens gives a wide-angle view for broad situational awareness. All other specifications are identical.
