ContinueThe LOOKOUT synthesizes data from charts, AIS, computer vision, and the cloud, then fuses it into one intuitive, 3D augmented reality view
See safe paths along with water signage such as channel markers, buoys, etc.
Mount the LOOKOUT camera high on your boat and connect it to your existing boat display.
Mount the camera system to the top of any boat
Plug into your MFD or stream to a laptop, phone or tablet via the Lookout App
Discover the world of AR
See through the darkness with infrared vision. A dedicated night vision sensor gives you the view you need to navigate confidently.
Like a first mate, watching everything ahead and behind, the LOOKOUT uses advanced computer vision algorithms to spot small vessels, floating debris, buoys, or people in the water for the safest boating experience.
The Lookout camera renders the perspective you need navigating in close quarters: a wide field of view; lay lines projected behind you, and a virtual ruler to gauge the distance to docks.
You’ve become accustomed to the backup camera and blind spot detection in your car. The LOOKOUT brings these advanced sensing and safety features to your more significant and beloved investment.
The cloud delivers valuable local knowledge for every type of boater: recommended restaurants, nearby moorings, and open slips via DockWa. When other boats spot hazards or wildlife, you see it too. For anglers, there are temperature breaks, bird cluster locations, and underwater structure. Charts update automatically, and the AI vision system continues to improve with more training data.
The Lookout Camera connects to any helm display, and streams over WiFi to phones and tablets anywhere on the boat.
Our augmented reality charts guide boats away from wildlife breeding and feeding grounds, and marine protected areas. As these areas change with the seasons and boaters report sightings, charts and recommended speeds are updated.

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.
