Camera for Ray e127

Postby tonyiiiafl » April 4th, 2021, 8:29 am

I have on my 390CPMY Raymarine QII radar, e127 and e97 displays and a Ray Autopilot. I am looking to add a camera to the rear to aid in docking as it is hard to see from the bridge. Are there any cameras to your knowledge that will work besides the FLIR ir cameras? Not looking to break the bank here. Thank you.

i dont know if this is what your asking for but i installed a white 12v bullet type camera from amazon on my 405 aft cabin. i use it to watch behind me and when m pulling my jetski. my electronics just take a standard video input not sure about your ray unit its probably the same. i was able to fish a 12v and pull wire from the camera through the hardtop and routed it to the bridge. several styles and prices to look at but something like this....https://www.unixcctv.com/product/hd-tvi ... ck-casing/

I believe there is some proprietary software happening and you need to install a Raymarine unit in order to view via Lighthouse II. they are not cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Raymarine-CAM2 ... 3805036195

I do have a new in the box Raymarine cam220 I purchased for my boat but did not have any good place to mount it. Could let you have it for $500US if you like. I think I paid around $750 for it. I Interested get back to me and I will give you the exact model number which you need to make sure works with your plotter. I do have an eSeries so pretty sure its the right one.

From Raymarine....
Video.....All displays have x1 BNC (female) composite video input connector (PAL/NTSC formats).
e95, e97, e125, e127 & e165 displays have a second BNC input plus x1 VGA output via accessory cable (sold separately).
Support for IP cameras.

If it's just a BNC connector, then it's just a regular North American (PAL) analogue video signal that most cameras on the market output. There may be a Ray networked camera option as well.

Small correction/clarification... PAL is typically European. North America uses NTSC.
