Sionyx nightwave Vs Hikvision 8mp Colorvu cctv camera

I ran both the Sionyx nightwave and a hikvision colorvu 8mp camera to compare the two. Nightwave costs $1,600 with the tax plus you need a supplimentary lead for the back of the Simrad NSS evo 3s screens which is another $40 as the nightwave runs on old fashioned RCA . The hikvision camera which is a low light cctv ip camera, needs an encoder, a switch and a monitor to stream HD. All these items are off of Amazon at a cost of $700 so less than half the price. I mounted the hikvision colorvu and the moniter on sea suckers, so i can set it up when i need to use it, it takes leass than 5 minutes. Make your own judgements on which system is best? I have made my choice, the Sionyx Nightwave is up for sale. here is a list with the links for the equipment required. Screen 15ft Cable Encoder switch Hikvision colorvu camera I have fitted a Seasucker to the monitor and the camera, i fit the camera to the underside of the T top and the monitor on the console, you can see its placement in the video. You will need to plug the decorder and the camera into a computer to match the I.P. address’s together. Follow the instructions that comes with the decoder to set them up. Everything on the list runs on 12volt dc so you only need a supply from the boat and you are up and running.
