CCTV Security Cameras for Boats and Yachts

A customer recently contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following questions relates to setting up a security camera for boats and yachts.

Can you recommend a system 12 volt DC camera and a small screen for viewing, maybe 7 to 10 inches for my boat? I want to mount a camera outside pointing rearward and have a monitor in my wheel house to see what is going on behind me while I am underway? A surveillance system that works in daylight is all I need. If I need to monitor at night, I can turn on deck lights to see the deck. I want to be able to view any boats coming up behind me and see my rear deck at the same time.

CCTV Camera Pros made the following recommendation for this customer.

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. I recommend considering this weatherproof dome camera for your boat surveillance application. This CCTV camera is capable of being mounted horizontally or vertically (ceiling or wall mount) and it will hold up well compared to other cameras considering the rough and salty weather conditions that it will be exposed to:

You can use pre-made / plug and play cables that will run both the power and video from the camera back to where the monitor is located.

For the monitor, we have the following 8 inch flat screen monitor available:
