Detailed description

Designed to provide detailed underwater visualization, the Garmin TIX402 flush-mounted underwater camera (also sold under the Lumishore TIX402 reference) is a Full HD 1080p solution. It is intended for discreet installation on various types of vessels, from sports boats to yachts, offering monitoring and exploration capabilities below the waterline.

Performance and technical specifications

The TIX402 camera features Full HD 1080p resolution with a fixed 3.6 mm focal length lens, providing a 67-degree field of view. It requires minimal lighting of 0.01 lux to operate effectively in low-light conditions. For video connectivity, it provides HD-SDI outputs (via BNC connector) and composite outputs (NTSC/PAL via BNC connector), enabling flexible integration with existing display systems. Power is supplied by 12 V DC, with a power consumption of 3 W and a maximum current of 0.25 A.

Design and installation

The TIX402 housing is made of marine-grade bronze and is equipped with a tempered borosilicate BK7 lens, ensuring IP68 protection against immersion and dust. Its compact dimensions include an 88 mm (3.47 in) face diameter, an 8 mm (0.32 in) profile, and a 136 mm (5.35 in) shaft length. Flush-mounted through-hull installation is possible on the transom, hull bottom, or sides, requiring a 57 mm (2-1/4 in) entry hole. A significant advantage of this model is its interchangeable and removable HD camera module, allowing maintenance or replacement from inside the vessel without having to take it out of the water.

Advanced features and positioning

To optimize image quality, the TIX402 integrates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D noise reduction (3D-DNR), and an automatic low-light mode. These technologies contribute to clear and detailed images in various underwater environments. Unlike more complex solutions such as the Lumishore SY EYE IP HD IP cameras (references 60-0428, 60-0249), designed for superyachts and Ethernet PoE network infrastructures, the TIX402 positions itself as a direct HD-SDI/composite visualization option. It is suitable for applications requiring uncompressed video transmission via coaxial cable, making it relevant for a wide range of vessels that do not require IP network integration for underwater video. The camera comes with a 2-year warranty.

« Technical analysis of the TIX402 underwater camera »

The Garmin TIX402 underwater camera, designed for flush-mount installation, is a relevant solution for underwater viewing on vessels ranging from sports boats to yachts. Its main advantage lies in its removable HD module, accessible from inside the hull. This feature significantly simplifies maintenance or replacement without requiring the vessel to be taken out of the water—a major economic and logistical consideration for owners.

For optimal installation, it is essential to allow at least 17.8 cm (7 inches) of clearance inside the hull to enable module removal. The mounting must be done on a flat surface and requires precise drilling of 57 mm (2-1/4 inches). It is critical to ensure proper grounding of the bronze housing to the vessel's DC bonding system to provide adequate galvanic protection; otherwise, the warranty may be void. Insulation sleeves are available separately for metal hulls, offering installation flexibility.

While models like the Lumishore SY EYE IP HD series cater to superyachts with IP video solutions, the TIX402 positions itself as a direct HD-SDI/composite option, ideal for integrations requiring uncompressed video transmission over coaxial cable. Each camera must be installed with a dedicated 1A fuse, and all electrical connections must be made in a watertight junction box to prevent water intrusion. Note that this model is powered solely by 12V DC and must be positioned away from high heat sources, such as engine exhausts, to ensure longevity.
