The LOOKOUT Camera uses advanced computer vision technology to detect and identify objects on the water. Our computer vision system is trained using machine learning algorithms and a vast dataset of images and video, to recognize and distinguish between different types of boats, buoys, debris and other waterway features.

The LOOKOUT camera’s detection range depends on the height of the camera, the size and contrast of the object, and the sea state. Small lobster buoys or people in the water may be detected only 50 meters away. Vessels are detected much further out. The important consideration is closing speed and time. We strive to give the captain ample time to react and change course to avoid a collision.

The LOOKOUT Camera addresses the top 5 contributing factors of accidents: operator inattention, inexperience, improper lookout, excessive speed, and navigation rules violations.

The LOOKOUT Camera offers SuperSight for enhanced situational awareness in challenging conditions like shallows, congested harbors, and limited visibility. It uses advanced computer vision to perceive hazards, create a 3D augmented reality scene, tailor camera perspective, and share data between boats, setting it apart from traditional marine electronics.

Yes, the LOOKOUT Camera is compatible with all major MFDs from Garmin, Furuno, Raymarine, and Simrad, as well as phones and tablets.

The LOOKOUT Camera displays safe passage tracks, navigational buoys, hazard buoys, underwater topography, POIs, pins, other boats, wildlife, floating obstacles, and wind "telltales."

The LOOKOUT Camera educates boaters on marine protected areas and breeding areas to decrease wildlife strikes for whales and Manatees.

For the next generation of electric and foiling boats, the AI vision system is critical to steer around debris or other semi-submerged hazards that are hard to spot.

As offshore wind and other sustainable energy solutions are installed it helps boaters navigate around construction sites and critical infrastructure, and understand the performance of these systems in context.

Finally, 3D situational awareness visualizations ease handoffs between self-driving systems and human control — this level 3 “collaborative” autonomy is already here for leading car brands and coming quickly to boarding

The LOOKOUT Camera employs redundant neural cameras, an edge computing stack, and a quad-core gaming computer for optimal performance. Its ruggedized, marine-grade waterproof enclosure is designed for harsh ocean environments, ensuring durability and longevity.

The installation time for the LOOKOUT Camera varies based on the vessel but is generally similar to a thermal camera installation. Contact us for a network of installers and recommendations.
