ACEL Power Launches Marine Industry’s First Integrated Low-Light HD Camera for Electric Outboards

Purpose-built module delivers 1080p imaging, on-board AI analytics, and 4G/GPS connectivity—bringing unmatched visibility to electric boating.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACEL Power, a leader in intelligent electric marine propulsion, today unveiled a compact, high-definition camera engineered specifically for its next-generation Intelligent Electric Series. This is the only factory-integrated camera available on any electric outboard platform, offering boaters and commercial operators real-time visual, diagnostic, and security data—without the need for aftermarket systems.

“Skippers deserve better visibility and safer tools without adding complexity,” said Anthony Liu, CEO of ACEL Power. “By embedding smart imaging directly into our electric outboards, we’re giving users peace of mind—on the water and at the dock.”

Built for challenging marine environments

• True low-light performance: Sony 1/2.8″ 2 MP CMOS sensor delivers full-colour images at just 0.05 lux (0.01 lux B/W) and records 1080p video at 30 fps.
• Razor-sharp imaging: 2D/3D noise reduction, digital WDR (> 90 dB), and advanced image enhancement keep visuals crisp through glare, spray, and dusk.
• AI on the edge: Built-in analytics enable motion, intrusion, and face recognition, plus privacy masking—no external servers needed.
• Ultra-efficient streaming: H.265+ compression minimizes data load, with SD storage supporting up to 256 GB of local loop recording.
• Always connected: Dual-mode Wi-Fi, optional 4G CAT 4 modem, and GPS/BeiDou enable remote monitoring, geotagged alerts, and browser-based live support—no plug-ins required.
• Marine-ready form factor: Measuring just 38 × 38 mm, the unit draws as little as 1.2 W and is encased in a vibration-damped, IP-rated housing, purpose-built by ACEL to withstand saltwater exposure.

Smart boating meets smart diagnostics

“This isn’t just about adding a camera—it’s about merging vision, diagnostics, and data into one intelligent system,” said Natasha Chawla, VP of Sales and Marketing at ACEL Power. “By integrating smart analytics and connectivity directly into the propulsion unit, we’re taking a meaningful step toward safer, more proactive boating.”

Availability

The integrated camera module will ship standard on ACEL’s, IE50 IE75, IE150, AND IE250 electric outboards series, available now. The module is not available for inboard systems.
